Reform by-election candidate Robert Kenyon is facing public criticism after allegations that he made sexist and anti-abortion remarks online. Reports say Kenyon’s activity includes lewd comments and statements on rugby-related online forums. One claim described him saying women “get abortions for vanity purposes,” alongside mocking attitudes toward abortion. Other accounts characterize the posts as misogynistic, describing him as “anti-abortion” and boasting about being sexist. Additional reporting also links his social media to far-right figures and extremist political views, which some commentators use to argue that the same pattern of attitudes is present across his online presence. The two accounts describe these posts as being connected to a Makerfield by-election campaign. The reporting focuses on the content of the alleged remarks and their online context; it does not provide verification details or include a direct response from Kenyon in the material provided. The situation is ongoing, with critics calling for scrutiny of his suitability as a candidate.
