John Tennant (born 25 December 1986) is a British politician, who was a Brexit Party Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the North East of England between 2019 and the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU.

[citation needed] In May 2019, it was announced John Tennant was standing as a Brexit Party candidate in the 2019 European Parliament election for North East England.

[5][9][10] Upon the announcement, Tennant was criticised for comments he made on social media, praising the UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom on the day he was ejected from the European parliament for addressing German colleague, Martin Schulz, the then leader of the German Social Democratic Party,[11] with a Nazi slogan in 2010, and then another involving a joke he made regarding sex acts with a young woman in 2011.

[12] A spokesperson for the Brexit Party described his comments, which included discussing sex toys in "vulgar and obscene terms" and suggesting Liverpool FC fans are criminals, as "weak jokes".

[12][15] According to Hartleborough Borough Council's Register of Members' Disclosable Pecuniary Interests, in May 2018 Tennant declared his profession as "office manager" to then MEP, Jonathan Arnott.
