Yet his supporters dismiss the claims as harmless pub banter or even question their authenticity, rallying behind him as a no-nonsense alternative to Labour’s long-standing rule. While the party defends Kenyon, saying the remarks predate his political career and that personal views on sensitive issues are a matter of conscience, the by-election in Makerfield remains fiercely contested — with voters weighing scandal against the promise of change.
