Nick Buckley – Advance UK’s candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election – reposted a claim on X alleging that his opponent, Matthew Goodwin of Reform UK, had said that he “hated” living in Manchester.
Alongside a photo of Mr Goodwin, a quote supposedly from the candidate in a newspaper read: “I lived in Manchester for a few months as a student. I hated it, the locals are all chavs and the city is an eyesore.”
