Brexit Party figures 'appeared on show which promoted Holocaust denial'

The Richie Allen Show is an internet radio programme which has hosted promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial.

According to media reports, Ms Widdecombe’s first appearance on the show coincided with an appearance by Kevin Barrett, who has contributed to American Free Press, which has been attacked for disseminating antisemitic views.

The Richie Allen Show was originally broadcast on a website owned by David Icke, who has been accused of promoting conspiracy theories including that of “Rothschild-Zionism”, a supposed “secret society putting its agents in places of power”.

Earlier this year, Labour MP Alex Sobel described Mr Icke and Mr Allen as “fermenters of antisemitic thought”.

Mr Allen has also regularly hosted Nick Kollerstrom, a fringe commentator who has denied the existence of gas chambers and has disputed the Jewish death toll in Nazi extermination camps.

Alison Chabloz, who was convicted in 2018 for posting two “grossly offensive” antisemitic videos, including material mocking victims of the Holocaust, has also featured on the show.

A Brexit Party spokesman denounced Mr Icke, but said that he suspected "few would know who his contacts are".

He added: "Obviously we denounce antisemitism and racism of any stripe. I'd never heard of this show, or indeed any of its guests.

"I doubt that the guests were any the wiser. We are now."
