Reform’s selection of Matthew Goodwin proves they are a party built on division

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Reform UK’s decision to select Matthew Goodwin as their candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office Spokesperson, Lisa Smart MP said:

"Reform UK’s selection of Matthew Goodwin proves they are a party built on a single foundation: division.

"Like Nigel Farage, Goodwin has made a career out of talking our country down. He is a professional wind-up merchant, more interested in chasing headlines than putting an end to the cost of living crisis facing families.

"We cannot allow the divisive politics of Trump’s America to become the blueprint for Farage’s Britain."
