一名前保守党活动人士在一则卧底影像报道中似乎提出要“中介”雇佣合同杀手，此人此前曾为保守党总部工作。
A former Tory activist who appeared to offer to "broker" the hiring of contract killers in an undercover film report previously worked for Conservative headquarters.
BBC获悉，杰克·罗斯曾受聘为该党做社交媒体工作，直到今年早些时候。
Jack Ross was contracted to do social media work for the party until earlier this year, the BBC has been told.
此事发生后，保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺克称这些是“令人震惊的指控”，并表示她不“认为那个人还是党员了”。
It comes after Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch referred to them as "shocking allegations", adding that she did not "believe that person is a member anymore".
一名保守党发言人说，罗斯的党籍“已被立即暂停，等待调查”。据报道，罗斯称他的话并非认真的意思。
A Conservative spokesman said Ross's party membership had "been suspended with immediate effect pending an investigation". It has reported that Ross said his words were not meant to be taken seriously.
BBC获悉，罗斯曾因短期受聘为该党提供社交媒体建议。他从未是雇员，也未持有保守党竞选总部通行证。
Ross was paid to provide social media advice to the party for a brief period, the BBC has been told. He was never an employee or Conservative Campaign Headquarters pass holder.
然而，他作为“转折点英国”首席执行官，曾多次会见巴德诺克。“转折点英国”是一个美国右翼组织的分支。
However, he met Badenoch on several occasions as part of his role as chief executive of Turning Point UK, an offshoot of a right-wing American organisation.
罗斯还会见过其他几位右翼政客，包括前首相鲍里斯·约翰逊和英国改革党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇。
Ross has also met several other right-wing politicians including the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader.
半岛电视台本周播出的卧底拍摄影像中，罗斯似乎提出要“中介”合同杀手的服务。
In undercover filming broadcast this week by Al Jazeera, Ross appears to offer to "broker" the services of contract killers.
半岛电视台的报道称，其卧底记者于2022年以一家家族企业面临犯罪集团接管的虚构情境接近罗斯。
The Al Jazeera report said its undercover journalist approached Ross in 2022 with a fictitious situation of a family business at risk of being taken over by a criminal gang.
据称，罗斯询问卧底记者需要他做什么，并列出了可购买的暴力选项，包括刺杀、枪杀和杀人。
Ross is alleged to have asked the undercover reporter what was needed from him, and listed violent options that could be bought including stabbing, shooting and killing.
半岛电视台称，罗斯“完全否认”该调查结果，并声称他对记者说的一切都不是认真的。“转折点英国”已被联系置评。
Al Jazeera said Ross denied the finding "completely" and claimed everything he said to the reporter was not meant seriously. Turning Point UK has been approached for comment.
