Bolton Wanderers cancel Nigel Farage 'anti net zero' rally amid fan backlash

A rally campaigning for a referendum on 'net zero' that was set to be held at Bolton Wanderers' stadium has been cancelled by the club.

The Nigel Farage fronted 'Vote Power Not Poverty' event was set to be held at the University of Bolton Stadium later this month. The campaign's official website describes it as "a cross party, grassroots campaign made up of activists from different parties and from none."

It continues: "Our aim is simple. We are demanding a referendum on the life-changing Net Zero plans forced upon us by Westminster politicians. We want the British people to have a say, both on our energy future and on Britain’s energy security."
