Ant Middleton Endorses Reform UK's Robert Kenyon in Makerfield Byelection

12 Haziran 2026The Guardian

Reform UK's candidate Robert Kenyon has received an endorsement from Ant Middleton, a former soldier and TV presenter, despite the party's attempts to distance itself from him due to his extreme views. Kenyon shared a video praising Middleton, whom he called 'one of my heroes'.
This endorsement has drawn criticism, particularly given Middleton's controversial remarks and actions in the past.
The Makerfield byelection represents a significant opportunity for Reform UK to gain ground in a politically competitive environment. However, the party's association with controversial figures like Middleton complicates its messaging and could impact voter perceptions.
The endorsement of Robert Kenyon by Ant Middleton raises questions about the strategic direction of Reform UK as it seeks to attract voters from the Restore Britain movement. While Middleton's notoriety may bring attention, it also risks alienating moderate voters who may be uncomfortable with his extreme rhetoric.
