Hope Not Hate uncovered multiple linked accounts, including one suspended by X and another deleted, filled with crude jokes and aggressive statements like urging to “hang all three” billionaires. Reform UK defends him, branding his unfiltered style as authentic and “straight-talking,” arguing it resonates with everyday voters. This isn’t his first controversy—he’s also been accused of spreading COVID misinformation and making homophobic and transphobic comments. Despite the backlash, the party insists Kenyon is a strong, relatable candidate who will represent Makerfield well. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
