The allegation by Hope not Hate is that Dean posted racist material on an X account that used the name L Dean as a handle. The group said biographical and other detail shared in some of the posts lined up with her personal background.
The group has additionally accused her of using social media to call for mosques to be closed and state she was getting tired of Muslims.
Hope Not Hate also accused Dean of posting the message: “Indigenous Britain is slipping further into the abyss. We will soon reach the point of no return.”
Some of the material flagged by the campaigners predates Dean’s 2025 election to the county council, for which she serves May Bank and Wolstanton ward, and some comes after her election.
She also represents Knutton ward on Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council.
