Reform has announced that GB News presenter Matt Goodwin will be its candidate to stand in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Goodwin said:
“This by-election is a referendum on Keir Starmer. It is a chance for the people of Gorton and Denton to have their say on Keir Starmer and make history. I will stand up for the local people of Gorton and Denton against the broken Westminster establishment…Only Reform can be trusted to fix broken Britain. We will put the people of Gorton and Denton where they belong: first. Gorton and Denton needs Reform.”
The party said they’d “throw everything” at the election…
Speaking to Matt Chorley on BBC 5 Live, Shabana Mahmood was asked what the naughtiest thing she has ever done is:
“I think I took a drag on a cigarette when I was a teenager, when I shouldn’t have done, but it did trigger an asthma attack. And so I figured that was God telling me, don’t smoke.”
