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.
The move will be uncomfortable for Nigel Farage, who has consistently kept the parties he leads separate from Robinson, an anti-Islam campaigner and one of the UK’s leading far-right figures.
In a post on X on Friday to his 1.8 million followers, Robinson quoted a tweet by Hope Not Hate, which researches and campaigns against far-right politics, adding simply: “Vote for Matt.”
A Reform spokesperson said in response: “We have consistently been clear on this issue. He isn’t welcome in the party.”
But Labour, which is seeking to present itself as the only viable leftwing option for votes against Reform in the Greater Manchester constituency, said Robinson’s intervention showed that “the stakes couldn’t be higher” for the 26 February contest.
“Tommy Robinson’s endorsement of Reform’s candidate shows who he really is and what he stands for,” a Labour campaign spokesperson said.
“The Greens simply cannot win this byelection, leaving a stark choice between unity and change with Labour, or division and risk with Reform.
“Only a vote for Labour can stop the toxic politics that Reform and Tommy Robinson would bring to Manchester.”
The Greens, who unveiled their candidate on Friday, argue in turn that Labour’s polling woes and its decision not to allow Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, to stand in the seat, mean they are the most credible opponent for Reform.
But according to a Labour internal memo, prepared for Downing Street, the party has received encouraging messages from door-knocking so far, with what was described as a “strong” rate of people pledging to vote Labour, and less support for the Green party.

Good grief with an old Anglo-Saxon name like that this man is certainly white racist islamophobe. Probably even wants to persecute asylum seekers whose culture allows them take out their anti-racist rage by raping young white girls who thoroughly deserve it for being beneficiaries of the patriarchy.
Oh, chit. Wait till Amelia hears about this.
If Labour rejects him, that’s all the more reason for the people to support him.
People here think Farage is some super Maga dude but he’s not. He woosed out on Brexit, is blind to the threat of islam and runs from Britain’s greatest hero, Tommy Robinson.
Here’s a prediction: Tommy Robinson will someday be Prime Minister of the UK.
That all said, he’s the best we can do at this point.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good. We don’t have that luxury right now.
With all due respect, I think England has slid too far. As Trump says, they need to get rid of their “migrants” and stop the green scam. I don’t see Farage as capable of doing anything other than managing the decline, which is apt to be swift. They’ve already done the gradual part.
You might be right.
They should have listened to Enoch Powell.
“They should have listened to Enoch Powell.”
