So I see we're talking about whether there are far-right elements in the Tory Party again. The answer is yes, they openly work with far-right parties in the rest of Europe
In the European Parliament the Conservatives sit in the ECR group, which they helped founded, here's a selection of their bedfellows:
Danish People's Party, now good friends with Slavini and likely to move to his new group after the elections

Sweden Democrats, a party born from 1990s Swedish fascism
Brothers of Italy, a legacy fascist party, the great grandson of Mussolini is one of their candidates
National Alliance, an ethnonationalist Latvian party that is hostile to all immigration

Finns Party, formerly True Finns, another ethnonationalist party, anti-EU, anti-NATO, and anti-LGBT rights, they advocate that schools should teach 'national pride', also likely to buddy up with Salvini soon
And a really good one to finish: Reformed Political Party, an ultraconservative Dutch party that has typically opposed universal suffrage (preferring male heads of household only), they are Protestant fundamentalists and they didn't even allow women to be party members until 2006
The Tories openly collaborate with far-right parties and have done so enthusiastically for years (just recently Hannan posted about how he happy he was to see the entry of Debout La France and the Dutch FvD to the group). There is no dispute here. It's an open and shut case.
