Farage Defends Kenyon in Makerfield

Nigel Farage is rallying support for Reform in the Makerfield by-election, dismissing Restore as a media-driven distraction that won’t sway voters—and insisting it’s a two-horse race between Reform and Labour’s Andy Burnham. He’s defending his candidate, Rob Kenyon, calling him an “ordinary bloke” with deep local roots, brushing off past comments as pub banter. Farage also unveiled a new policy to raise the VAT threshold for small businesses to £150,000, claiming it’ll cost £2 billion but stimulate growth. Despite Labour’s stronghold and Burnham’s mayoral influence, Farage is confident Kenyon—seen as a true voice for the community—will resonate with voters seeking a representative who speaks like them.
