Carol Vorderman has publicly demanded an apology from Robert Kenyon, the Reform UK candidate for the upcoming Makerfield by-election, due to crude comments he made about her on social media. The remarks, which were shared on a now-deleted X account, have drawn widespread criticism and raised concerns over misogyny within the party. Vorderman stated, "I want an apology from Rob Kenyon, to me, and to all the other people he's abused online," highlighting the need for accountability. Former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner also criticized the party's handling of the situation, suggesting that it reflects poorly on Reform UK. Despite the backlash, Reform MP Danny Kruger defended Kenyon, describing the comments as "private" and inappropriate but not warranting his removal as a candidate. The controversy has overshadowed Reform's campaign, with other political figures voicing their disapproval and calling for better vetting of candidates. As the June 18 election approaches, the incident raises questions about the party's commitment to addressing misogyny and ensuring respectful discourse.
