'The Makerfield result does not change that reality. If anything, it reinforces it. Even in defeat, we continue to reach new voters'

We couldn’t be more proud of the campaign run by Cllr @RobKenyonReform in the Makerfield by-election.
This was no normal by-election. Very few people could handle being thrust into the national spotlight so rapidly or intensely – but Rob did. Going up against a high-profile politician like Andy Burnham was always going to be a monumental challenge for anyone, no matter how experienced.
But Rob – a local plumber, former Army Reserve combat engineer, and dedicated local councillor – stepped up and fought with integrity, giving the people of Makerfield a real, straight-talking choice.
Securing a powerful second place with 15,000+ votes is a testament to his tireless hard work and the resonance of our message. He should be extremely proud of what he’s achieved and the leader he’s proven himself to be.
We offer our congratulations to Andy Burnham on his victory, and our deepest gratitude to Rob for his unwavering dedication. We’re certain that the confidence and knowledge gained over the course of this whirlwind campaign will allow him to serve his home ward of Bryn with Ashton-in-Makerfield even better than before!
To every incredible volunteer who pounded the pavement each day and every resident who cast their vote for Reform UK: thank you.
Thank you for stepping up, Rob. Onwards and upwards! 🚀🇬🇧

Rob Kenyon is a smart, gritty man who has stepped up and knowingly subjected himself to the dogs of war in what is the most pivotal by-election in British history.
I am so proud of him, and how hard he’s worked.
If you have a vote today, please make the effort to cast it in his favour.
The future of our country is at stake. 🇬🇧
Live update: Our future Prime Minister @Nigel_Farage is in the building. A morale boost for the room and a reminder that hard work still matters. The man is an absolute #workaholic - let's give him his flowers, shall we! 👏💙🩵
