It is not known why Kenyon’s X account was deleted, but campaign group Hope Not Hate published a series of messages it says were sent from the handle.
They include graphic sexual and sexist language, including about the presenter Carol Vorderman, and a slur to describe members of the Labour party.
It’s alleged he interacted with a well-known far-right influencer, Peter Imanuelsen, appearing to support a Covid lockdown conspiracy theory.
He allegedly compared Australian Covid vaccination policies to Nazism and is reported to have posted that businessmen including Richard Branson should be hanged for accepting furlough money during the pandemic.
A Labour party spokesperson called the comments “disgusting” and said they show “he’s not fit to represent Makerfield”.
“From creepy remarks about women, to peddling baseless conspiracy theories, this is appalling stuff from a parliamentary candidate.
“Nigel Farage needs to explain why Reform UK selected him in the first place,” they added.
