Reform UK Candidate Under Fire

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Reform UK’s Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon is facing backlash over old social media posts, with critics calling them inappropriate for a politician—but his party defends him, insisting the comments were private, pre-politics, and that Kenyon has since deleted them and regrets them. A senior MP called the remarks unacceptable, yet praised Kenyon as a relatable, no-nonsense voice for working people. Reform UK remains steadfast, framing his lack of polish as an asset and urging voters to focus on economic issues and youth opportunities, not past online antics. Kenyon hasn’t publicly responded, as the race heats up. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
