Kenyon's Endorsement Backfires

In a heated Makerfield by-election, Reform’s Robert Kenyon faces backlash after endorsing Ant Middleton — a TV star with a controversial past — despite his own online remarks sparking outrage, including a crude comment about Carol Vorderman that she calls cowardly. Vorderman is rallying female voters against him, while polls show Labour’s Andy Burnham leading by five points, with voters saying Kenyon’s statements made them less likely to support him. Middleton defends his record, calling assault claims misleading, while Kenyon insists his blunt style speaks to working-class voters.
