THE Conservative Party's general election candidate for Lincoln has apologised for retweeting comments made by people with far-right views.
The tweets were found by a campaign group which labels itself as an anti-fascist group.
It says Karl McCartney retweeted posts made by right-wing campaigners, including Tommy Robinson.
In a statement, Mr McCartney said he apologised "unreservedly".
"In no way do I endorse the tweets or the accounts behind them.”
“I accept retweeting them was ill-judged and could cause offence.”
"This divisive figure has no place in our politics or public life.”
