While concrete details were scant, it was considerably more of a policy offering than what the Greens told a hall of 300 supporters, four miles away at the Pakistani Community Centre on the edge of Denton.

Activists left the hour-long rally, in which leader Zack Polanski spoke for eight minutes and took two standing ovations, in excitable mood. It wasn’t clear however whether the seat was being fought in south-east Gaza or south-east Manchester.

Surely Reform could have found someone better than Matthew “woke, elite, Muslims, migrants, here’s a dodgy poll I’ve done, give me your money, waffle, waffle” Goodwin as  their candidate in Gorton & Denton
I know they have better local candidates

I agree.

Racism lol. I'm sure candidates in one of Lahore's by elections launch from their downtown English Community Centre

Most people try to post stuff to help with betting.

You are just a racist party political broadcast for refuk.

It's your racism, and perception, but hey you
can tell us you traded out for a profit...

It's the analysis you need. Pity if you don't take heed.

They have a chance but not as strong as the market has made it.

I've won more than I've lost for over 20 years. Including, politics. So my approach is incredibly effective.
My instinct is that the excitement over the tiit whisperers is way overbaked.

I'd already posted that on the thread. It appears to have been deleted.

Launching from the 'Pakistani' community centre is a pretty big indication the plan is to lean into the Muslim vote again. As outlined from the exert of the article I posted above.

The party's chief whip, Lee Anderson MP, shared photographs on social media of himself and other Reform activists stood outside Stanley House Functions Rooms ahead of the vote.


Writing on X, formerly Twitter, he said: "Gorton and Denton. A cold but productive day in what will be a hotly contested seat." He shared a link to the party's X handle and concluded: "Bring it on."




But the MP has now been lampooned after it emerged the location isn't in Gorton or Denton, but in the Ashton-under-Lyne constituency of Angela Rayner MP, the former deputy prime minister.

Mr Anderson shared the photos on Saturday. A Boundary Commission map shows Stanley House Function Rooms are around half a kilometre outside the constituency that will be contested. A search on the Parliamentary website confirms the building is in Ms Rayner's constituency, reports
After spotting the location, Ms Rayner said: "Farage's Reform can't even find the Gorton and Denton constituency on a map. Perhaps it's because they're too busy filling their party full of former Tories who failed the country.


"Local residents in Gorton and Denton deserve a local MP who is focussed on delivering on local residents' priorities like tackling the cost of living. That's what Labour will be speaking to voters about every day on streets across Gorton and Denton while Farage gets round to finally learning how to use Google Maps and actually work out where they live."


Anna Turley MP, Labour Party Chair, also issued a statement, saying Mr Anderson and Reform activists were 'campaigning in the wrong constituency'. She said: "Farage's Reform are proving from day one they won't stand up for local residents

More than on here.

Has Goodwin decided on a line for where he's from and his family etc yet? Seems to be some mix up between Manchester and St Albans and who was the first to get a degree.



Still, sur the voters will be happy with just another liar in for them.

Christ you'll be doing well to have a MP that isn't a liar.

There's always a mix up.

Sometimes you wonder if it's deliberate to gain
publicity, but it continues beyond times where publicity
is useful.

Imagine being a Labour voter, and pretending you are deeply offended by lying politicians

seems my instinct was right as usual ;)
