Reform UK's candidate for the Makerfield byelection, Robert Kenyon, has drawn criticism for accepting an endorsement from former soldier Ant Middleton. The party had previously distanced itself from Middleton due to his increasingly extreme views. Kenyon shared a video expressing his admiration for Middleton, calling him 'one of my heroes.' Middleton has a history of controversial statements, including past remarks about violence in Southampton and repeated anti-Muslim comments on social media. This endorsement could potentially alienate some voters while attempting to attract others. The party faces a challenge in navigating this public support.
The endorsement highlights internal party dynamics and potential controversies surrounding candidate support, impacting Reform UK's public image.
