If you are Reform are you ok with this repulsive man potentially becoming an MP and representing women in parliament?

I doubt anyone on here would admit to supporting Reform!

Robert Kenyon made his comments before standing for Reform, as did Wes Streeting before joining Labour. So if we say that Robert Kenyon shouldn't stand then we have to apply the same rules to WS.

Still no Reform supporters prepared to give an opinion on Kenyon’s suitability as a candidate?

He’ll be the first PM in generations to give a shit about the North.

Farage actually wrote to the Charity Commission to complain about the uncovering of his candidate's online posting history rather than, you know, address the issues which were uncovered...

Yes. He's a weasel I wouldn't want on my team. Or as my PM.

Very much so. This is classic Burnham. He criticised the Labour leadership for not opposing this bill. Yet when it came to the actual vote, he abstained rather than having the guts to rebel.

Anyone of any political persuasion who tries to take abortion rights away or shame those who have one is a significant danger to women.
Any man who does this is is a man who does not believe women have the right to the bodies they live in- ie a very very dangerous man.

He hasn't been very left in the past, he changes with what suits him

He'll be the first left wing PM in decades

Have any Reform supporters on here actually said unequivocally whether or not Kenyon should remain the candidate?

So who has refused to engage? Who exactly? What? Are you blaming Labour now too and trying to pretend otherwise?

They HAVE a government who is reducing immigration right now. Numbers are down with immigration (not reported in the daily mail & express on the day, I wonder why!). Anyway, it's not being believed as you say, boats have come down for the moment, returns have stepped up, inherited backlog being worked through by employing more people.
Deals being made for other countries for the UK to help with growth. NHS waiting times are supposed to be falling. Chip chip chip away. Can't undo 14 years of mucked up tory gov in 2 years with little money, but hey, who cares about reasonable expectations? Any good news isn't believed with Labour, any bad news is taken as the truth.

No, what will get Labour voted out is a largely right wing media and people being too stupid to question it or blinded by their prejudices. Farage being an excellent oil snakesman. The state of the country that was caused by an awful tory government, brexit, covid too and now we've another war to add to the mix, through no fault of the UK but in this day and age, people expect instant results.

@Happyjoe as I said in a previous post, most Reform voters don’t know what the non-immigration policies are. And if they do know, they think it’s a sacrifice worth making, in order to get a government who will reduce immigration. You can have a go at me as much as you like, but that’s what many people think. This refusal to engage with huge swathes of the population is what will get Labour voted out. But you don’t have to believe me. You can just wait for the next general election!

No it's not, that's untrue.
You can tell any ardent supporter of any party truth, they won't change their minds, they won't see logic, truth or whatever is in front of them. Seen it over and over again. See it on here often enough! Being snappy, kind, logical - means absolutely nothing.

And while you may now say you are reporting on what others think, perhaps make it clear that it's not the opinion of yours when written? And just because there are many people who feel that their long NHS waiting list is unfair, they are blaming the wrong people. Just because there may be many doesn't make it any less idiotic.

Again, just as those who want to vote the anti-women, Andrew Tate loving Reform because of trans issues and asylum seeker attacks, why on earth would they vote for privatising the NHS Reform while complaining about their waiting list? If they have the money in the first place to go get medical insurance, they should go get medical insurance instead of ruining it for the whole country.

As I said, people are idiotic.

@Happyjoe I’m just telling OP what a lot of people think. I’m simply quoting my observations. Being snappy and shutting down dialogue is what causes a lot of problems in the first place.

@Piggywaspushed post WW1 Germany had to pay reparations. The country was poor and people were struggling. An unhappy population is easy to persuade that it’s all someone else’s fault. Hitler convinced a population to turn on their friends and neighbours simply because they were Jewish. In this country we have a COL crisis, we have shocking NHS delays, we have underfunded schools, we have long waits for social housing. People feel angry and hard done by. Those emotions are a perfect breeding ground for racism and hatred.

A lot of people are idiots then, would company make you feel better?

Comments about the hospitals, nah, that's just naff. It is not the fault of asylum seekers, it's the fault of the tories who have not invested into our NHS for years.

@Happyjoe this is the way these Reform threads always go. Lots of ranting. I haven’t stated what my view is, other than to say that I’ve never voted Reform. But my job involves a lot of contact with the public and I’m just telling OP what a lot of people think. I’d rather you didn’t call me an idiot.

He initially didn't want an enquiry because there already had been enquiries. It's not some massive cover up is it, it was about putting into place the recommendations that came from the multi-million quid enquiry that the Cons did. He was the one who asked for an audit by Casey and then changed his stance on that recommendation. This is sensible politics and not politics by the media imo before spending many more millions.

And he's done more on boats than any other party, in less time. Labour are steadily working their way through the backlog of claims. They've created the BSC so the powers that be can work together. They've changed some visa rules to be less attractive and more asylum seekers have been returned. It's a massive problem, there is no simple fix, no other party has done anything and it's been 2 years since been in office. If you have a quick solution please contact the government so they can get on with it.

They justify it with whataboutery relating to the other parties. Usually but not exclusively the greens. I agree wholeheartedly op but sadly most Reform voters are of the same Neanderthal mentality.

He sounds utterly hideous.

Its not just his views on abortion though, is it? Its his view that responsibility for conception lies solely with women, and that the abortions he is against are the result of women being promiscuous and irresponsible, and that women who have abortions are guilty of infanticide.
All the blame for unwanted pregnancy is placed on women. He reviles women for their sexualiry and uses extreme language to frame them as guilty of the worst of crimes.
Its apparant he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and that his thought processes are simplistic to say the least. And the combination of lack of critical thinking and inate misogyny is pretty dangerous. Because you can't even reason with people like that.

1. Carol Vorderman had a lot of work done to make herself look (stereotypically) sexually attractive. One man then found her sexually attractive, and another one retweeted the first's comment....shock, horror!

That absolutely disgusting, vulgar comment had nothing to do with sexual attractiveness and everything to do with humiliating her. Only a man - and a really gross one at that - would even attempt to frame it as a compliment.

Apparently, he also tweeted;
"Considering starting my own vigilante org to push nasty people under trains. First up Jan Moir, followed by Geert Wilders..."
