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

I live in the Makerfield constituency, and as a woman and mother of daughters the thought of Robert Kenyon being our MP terrifies me. Imagine contacting him with concerns and issues as a woman when this is how he feels about them. The man doesn't even live in Makerfield like he states, nor was he born here, another lie. The lies from him just keep racking up now he's been rumbled about not actually ever being in the army.

Farage himself is against later abortion, no matter the risk to mothers

When did Farage say 'no matter the risk to mothers'?

Is antisemitism the only prejudice you care about? I have seen your posts on various threads and you do this a lot. Why? This one is about misogyny yet you turn it round to antisemitism. You do it every time. Why not be against all kinds of prejudice, like most decent people?

No idea how anyone can be a Conservative supporter after what they did to this country.

So, since the Tories stand no chance , you'd rather Kenyon win?

I must say I always thought she was a Tory, not a Reform supporter.

I am. I'm bashing Labour - I don't want Andy Burnham to win.

I only found the Josh Simons article today. Similarly, I didn't know Conor McGinn's constituency was the neighbouring one to Makerfield until today.

*But surely if the info becomes available before an representative is elected, it should be acted upon?

And yet Labour still chose Josh Simons as their candidate in 2024 (the outgoing Labour MP for Makerfield now).

I didn’t say anything about support.
I said he knows what a woman is -which is more than Andy Burnham or whoever represents the Greens.
Or the Lib Dem’s.
By knowing what a woman is -one would assume - that he supports women’s sex based spaces/jails/hospital wards/sports/refuges would be for women only which frankly is a huge win compared to the other parties.
I could never and will never vote for a candidate or party who supports men accessing women’s spaces or services. Ever.

The important difference is that the Greens stood their candidate down after his vile anti semiticism. Farage has backed Kenyon dismissing his remarks as banter.
You get rogue candidates across the board, and I'm fair minded enough not to tar their entire party with the same brush. Unfortunately when the party leader fails to consider it an issue, and reaffirms support despite it, it tells you the problem isn't just one man, but the whole culture of the party.

OP if you're genuinely interested in the perspectives of others (and not just wanting to have a go a Reform voters on MN because you don't have access to the actual Reform MPs) - this is my view.

I've never voted Reform and I doubt I ever will. But this is ALL about immigration.

Services are stretched to the limit in this country, schools and the NHS are overwhelmed, police don't come out to burglaries etc etc - you know the issues. Meanwhile, we hear daily about the cost of processing asylum seekers, housing them, providing immigrants with life's necessities while taking years to decide if they're allowed to stay here. Court/prison costs of punishing immigrant criminals, as if we didn't have enough home grown ones.

Rightly or wrongly people associate their own lack of money/services with immigrants and asylum seekers, and they don't like it. And the only party who seem to take this issue seriously is Reform.

Most Reform voters don't actually know any of their other policies. But even if they knew and disliked them, they're prepared to make the sacrifice, to reduce immigration.

Successive governments have ignored this massive issue. It was the undoing of the Tories, and it'll be the undoing of Labour too.

She didn't dodge tax. She referred herself to get a definitive answer as she was getting different pieces of advice.
It is a very complex situation as she was trying to put her former house in trust for her disabled son so he would always have a secure place to live. (He was born very prematurely and is blind.) I believe she and her former partner take turns living there to care for him.

I think this type of bants appeals to the " we can't even sing ba ba blacksheep " types and the "nobody is listening, we want our country back" types.

Stop the boats. Stop the scapegoating. Bastards.

Unfortunately some are defending him as it’s only banter - he has a lot of support

And that makes voting for Kenyon alright?

The 'I don't care' posts are at least honest.

No I think they are saying that the quality of MPs are all pretty shit

If he keeps Andy Burnham out and not the next labour leader then I’m guessing most people who can Vote or are reform voters find it more than acceptable

but to be fair you aren’t going to find a politician who hasn’t got something hidden in the past

That’s why it’s really important that people are fully informed about Kenyon so he can’t beguile them with his salt of the earth, honest plumber schtik.

Clav is cutting and pasting the same negative stories about Labour MPs over and over whenever Reform is criticised. I must say I always thought she was a Tory, not a Reform supporter.

No-one is saying Reform have a monopoly on repulsive candidates/MPs, Clav. But surely if the info becomes available before an representitive is elected, it should be acted upon?

I live in the makerfield area and the frightening thing is in the local polls there’s only 3% difference between reform and labour

Are you defending Kenyon and Reform?

restoring financial security and controlling national debt, essential for economic stability. Leading to low inflation and lower taxes and therefore encouraging businesses to flourish here rather than elsewhere. Good economic governance. But he never really got going tbh,

And yet Reform are such an awful party for women. James Orr, anti-abortion is Farage's mate and advisor in Reform. Farage himself is against later abortion, no matter the risk to mothers. The party itself seems to be attracting funding from anti-abortion folk from the USA and the party has a few members who are anti abortion.

Let's not forget wanting to rid of Equalities Act (protects us all, esp women) and leave the ECHR (protects us all, including women). Don't forget the members of Reform & Reform MP's who have a history of violence towards women of which Reform have no issue with, and the lovely one where Nigel Farage thinks Andrew Tate is an important voice for young men.

And you are worried about transwomen and now the courts have sorted that. Nothing else?

Make it make sense please?
