On this day, in 1954, Nat Lofthouse became the first Bolton player to feature at a World Cup, scoring twice as @England drew 4-4 with Belgium at the St Jakob Stadium in Basel, Switzerland.

Watched Brexit programme on BBC today. What would Farage, Johnson and Gove say now. We are in a total mess. Small biz can't do biz easy with EU .The biggest disaster I have experienced in my life time. Sunderland tipped the scales. Nissan only went to Sunderland so they could sell cars to the EU at low prices.
Here’s Harley Haynes (23), jailed for 30 months for his role in the Southampton Farage riot. Predictably, Haynes is already a serial criminal who has nine convictions for 21 offences including theft, criminal damage and supplying cannabis. Yet another parasite, NOT a patriot.
Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE Police Officer.
Nigel Farage called for calm.
But when he can use racism he calls for Cold, Hard, Rage.
Utterly embarassing from Rob Kenyon. What he clearly doesn't know is Labour MP Josh Simons confirmed just over a week ago that this library would be reopened and work is starting soon, following a 6 month campaign by Labour Councillor Christopher Ready. What total numpties Rob and Zia are.
Nigel Farage registered ‘absent’ from the last 77 votes in Parliament
Official Parliamentary figures reveal that Reform leader Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote for anything in the last 11 weeks...

From Jack Hemingway in Wakefield - 'Reform have announced they will cut the Council’s school uniform voucher scheme by 2/3rds (£1.3m). This was a fully funded scheme, approved in a balanced budget and not funded by council tax. The decision will mean most families now miss out on uniform vouchers. Reform say the money will now go on ‘infrastructure’ instead.' Vote Reform UK get poorer! #ReformUK
Makerfield Heating Ltd: The Company Behind the Candidate
Robert Francis Kenyon is asking the people of Makerfield to send him to Parliament on 18 June. Before they decide, there are some documents worth examining.
Makerfield Heating Ltd, company number 17014370, was incorporated on 5 February 2026. Sole director: Robert Francis Kenyon, born March 1985, 30 Hamilton Road, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, WN4 0SU. SIC code 43220. Plumbing, heating and air conditioning installation.
Every Google review is five stars. One was left by Ann Kenyon. The owner thanked her personally by name.
Two further reviewers, Paul Smith and Leila Haider, each have only one Google review to their name. Both are for Makerfield Heating Ltd. Paul Smith's profile is restricted. Smith's name appears in local Reform and Kenyon social media comments as an apparent supporter.
The company has a registered domain, https://t.co/OBGNFVOeJo. It returns a Wix placeholder. No website has been built behind it. A trading plumbing business in a competitive local market with five star reviews but no functioning website raises an obvious question about who those reviews are actually for.
Kenyon was elected to Wigan Council on 7 May 2026, representing Bryn with Ashton-in-Makerfield North. His declarations of interest page currently shows no entries. Newly elected councillors have 28 days from taking office to register disclosable pecuniary interests including directorships. That window has not yet closed. Makerfield Heating Ltd does not currently appear on any public register of interests anywhere.
A formal right of reply was sent to Mr Kenyon by email at 11:15am on Sunday 24 May 2026. The questions covered the relationship between Ann Kenyon and the company, the connection between Paul Smith, Leila Haider and the company, and his satisfaction with the authenticity of all reviews.
The deadline was 11:15am Tuesday 26 May 2026.
No response was received.
This weekend, the Observer reported that Kenyon had made anti-abortion comments on a rugby league discussion forum in 2019, calling abortion the cowardly act of murdering a defenceless baby and suggesting women fabricate rape claims to terminate pregnancies. He admitted in further unearthed posts: "I'm sexist, sorry but I am." The Mirror reported Carol Vorderman calling him a disgusting online abuser after sexually explicit comments about her were found on deleted accounts. The Times has today reported that in 2019 Kenyon stated he did not vote for Brexit, writing that he woke up the morning after the result terrified by what had been voted for. Reform have made Brexit a central dividing line in this by-election campaign.
Reform UK's response to all of it: "These comments were made before he entered politics."
Robert Kenyon entered politics in May 2026. Makerfield Heating Ltd was incorporated in February 2026. The van Nigel Farage rode in during the campaign was bought three months ago.
Views don't change. They just get hidden.
A right of reply was offered to Robert Kenyon and to Reform UK. Neither responded within the deadline.
There are a million and one videos from today that are up there with the best I’ve ever seen.
But this takes the biscuit, we’re beyond lucky to have Sharon and today it showed and the whites delivered.
