Former Tory election candidate and chief executive of Turning Point UK suspended over contract killing claims

In shocking revelations, a former Tory election candidate and chief executive of Turning Point UK, has been suspended by the Conservative Party after being filmed by undercover reporters discussing the cost of hiring contract killers and offering to “broker” the services of a far-right activist with alleged paramilitary links.

Jack Ross who is also a member of the Bow Group, a Conservative thinktank that lists him as a research fellow, was filmed telling an undercover Al-Jazeera jounrnalist ‘What do you want done?” before listing the type of violent options that could be bought.’

He told the Al-Jazeera journalist: “They can just kick the fuck out of someone. That’s a certain amount. They can start cutting people’s faces up, that’s another amount. And they can stab someone. They can shoot someone. They can kill someone.”

Ross is the chief executive of Turning Point UK, a spin-off from the campaign group founded by the murdered US Republican commentator Charlie Kirk.

He has been pictured as a Tory activist outside Downing Street as well as with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch.

The Guardian reports: “Ross was reported by Al Jazeera to have introduced an undercover reporter to a violent criminal from Glasgow with links to the paramilitary Ulster Volunteer Force, who offers to have people killed for money.”

The undercover reporter approached Ross with a fictitious problem where an uncle’s business was at risk of being taken over by a gang, whose members were supposedly warned they would “get fucked” if anything happened.

Al Jazeera has since reported that Ross has been suspended from the Conservative Party.
