THE Foreign Office has employed a former Ukip parliamentary candidate to censor sensitive diplomatic telegrams before they are made public, the Morning Star can exclusively reveal today.
The revelation comes as new figures show over 5,000 British government documents were blocked from release at the National Archives last year.
Among the censors is Charles Bennett, a former Ukip candidate whose LinkedIn profile says he started working as a “sensitivity reviewer” for the Foreign Office in September 2018.
