as posted by the channel

“Mr. Kenyon will have more scrutiny if he survives as the candidate than virtually any other parliamentary candidate in history.”

Controversial social media posts and links to fascist groups from Robert Kenyon, the Reform UK candidate in Makerfield, have already surfaced, making the upcoming by-election difficult for Reform UK, says political journalist and author Michael Crick.

Michael Crick and Adam Boulton were speaking to Kait Borsay on Times Radio Evening Edition. Listen live from Monday-Thursday from 7-10pm.
