Orrell Women Weigh Reform Controversy

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

In Orrell, a heated by-election battle is unfolding as women voters grapple with Reform UK’s controversial candidate Robert Kenyon. His past social media comments have sparked outrage and division, with figures like Carol Vorderman urging women to reconsider supporting him. While some voters are drawn to Reform’s stance on immigration and housing, others are repelled by the controversy. Kenyon calls his remarks “squaddy banter,” but critics call them “disgusting.” Voters like Valerie Mills support him for green belt protection, while Sonya Butterworth backs him on policy — even as she acknowledges the fallout.
