Reform UK taps GB News host Matt Goodwin for Gorton and Denton by-election
TL;DR Summary
Reform UK has unveiled GB News host and academic-activist Matt Goodwin as its candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election, triggered by Andrew Gwynne’s resignation for health reasons. Goodwin casts the race as a rebuke of the establishment and Keir Starmer, pledging to give local voters a voice in Parliament. The by-election is set for 26 February, with Labour’s leadership and NEC decisions already drawing scrutiny after Burnham’s aborted bid to stand and long-standing tensions ahead of the vote.
