“I’ve got nothing but respect for women… I’ve said things years ago that I wouldn’t say now”
Reform UK’s Robert Kenyon says he “won’t accept” being labelled as “sexist”, but admits he “made mistakes” with comments he made “15 years ago” that have been “dragged up”

I am a British Sikh MP.
Like you, I was horrified by Henry Nowak’s death. I utterly condemn his murderer.
Like you, I have been moved by the grace of his family.
Like you, I was appalled by Farage and Robinson seeking to divide us in anger.
From here, there are two paths that our country can take.
The first path is embodied by Farage and Robinson. They seek to pit White Brits against non-White Brits. Through crypto-funded, tech-fuelled hate, they try to drive a wedge through our communities.
The second is embodied by Henry Nowak’s father, Mark. A path of national unity and grace. Our nation stood together as one people to defeat fascism, and today our different communities come together to mourn Henry Nowak.
The path we choose will define us as a nation. I choose the path that is true to our historic values summed up by this eternal truth:
Together we will meet this moment, divided we won’t.

Henry Nowak's mother has said:
"We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together."
And there you have it.
🚨 NEW: The BBC says Restore Britain was not invited to the Makerfield by-election Question Time special because of its "past and current electoral support"
It comes as Rupert Lowe considers legal action for "blatant election interference"
Nigel Farage's work over the last 11 weeks broken down:
- Parliamentary votes registered (including on immigration): 0
- Violent racial divisions stoked: 1
Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.
Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.
It’s completely unforgivable.
Keir Starmer appears absolutely fuming at Nigel Farage's response to Henry Nowak's murder
In PMQs, he tells the Reform leader: "I'm really shocked that he pretends to have respect for Henry's family and then acts in this way. They're a grieving family...
"They have lost their son in the most appalling circumstances. They make a simple plea of us as human beings to please not exploit that. That is their plea to us."
He says his focus has been on the lessons to be learned "so we can deliver justice", while Farage's response "has been to appeal for rage"
"That's his response to a father who's lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances, but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don't is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is."
We’ve hit a big landmark – 10 million free breakfasts served.
10 million better days at school – more children turning up, concentrating, getting on.
10 million easier mornings for parents – better drop-offs & commutes.
Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹
Farage raises the tragic murder of Henry Novak at PMQs to get social media clips and further inflame tensions when Henry’s family have explicitly asked for calm.
He is an utter disgrace.
I was born and raised here. Countless brave Sikh soldiers died for Britain, proudly wearing their turban and kirpan.
Thankfully, Rupert and Restore don't get to decide what is British.
Beware … today they’re coming for me, but tomorrow it could be you!
The scenes this evening in Portswood are completely unacceptable.
The Nowak family made a powerful call to us all yesterday to not let Henry’s death be used to create further division, hatred or tension.
There can be no justification for hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder. Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.
I thank the police who have tonight shown great bravery and calm in the face of disgraceful violence directed at them.
