• The now-deleted 2019 posts, from an account linked to Mr Kenyon, appeared to deny that he voted Leave.
• However, the account said in a post that the EU’s subsequent treatment of the UK made him “glad we voted out”.
• The user also suggested he would join the EU “tomorrow” if it were “stripped right back to what it was set up for”.
• A Reform UK spokesperson said that Mr Kenyon “voted Leave in 2016 and is a proud Brexiteer.”
