THE British National Party will contest Bridgwater’s seat at the forthcoming General Election, the party confirmed this week.

The right-wing group announced it had selected Scottish 48-year-old Donna Treanor as its candidate for Bridgwater and West Somerset.

The move comes after the BNP selected a candidate to stand in Bridgwater at last summer’s county council elections – where the party finished fifth behind Labour, the Conservatives, the LibDems and UKIP.
