The report centres on an X post by the Labour Party sharing a clip of Matt Goodwin, Reform UK’s candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, in which he appeared to speak negatively about Manchester
The clip was presented out of context say Refirm seemingly in an effort to depict Matt as someone who dislikes Manchester
It’s an offence under S106(1) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 before or during an election to make or publish any false statement of fact in relation to a candidate’s conduct for the purpose of affecting his return.
