Plumber Challenges Burnham in By-Election
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
Plumber-turned-politician Robert Kenyon is gunning for Andy Burnham in a high-stakes by-election, calling it a “win-win” no matter the outcome. His top priorities? Killing a controversial housing development in Winstanley and cracking down on overcrowded rental properties. On BBC Radio Manchester, Kenyon brushed off media scrutiny of his social media past, shrugged off pressure as “water off a duck’s back,” and doubled down on his mission to disrupt the political status quo. Fresh off winning a council seat in Wigan, he’s predicting a nail-biting race on June 18th — and even apologized for past “banter” about Carol Vorderman, admitting she didn’t find it funny. He also revealed he unfriended a Facebook user with extreme views after realizing their ideology didn’t align with his — and he’s never even met them. Kenyon’s ready to shake things up, whether he wins or not. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
