Labour accuses Reform candidate of ‘toxic politics’ after Tommy Robinson endorsement

Far-right activist tells X followers to vote for Reform's Gorton and Denton candidate, Matthew Goodwin

Labour have accused the Reform UK candidate for the Gorton and Denton byelection, Matthew Goodwin, of representing toxic politics" after he was endorsed by the far-right agitator Tommy Robinson.
