Robert’s answer is not Reform policy. As the person responsible for our deportation plan I want ensure people know where we stand: If a foreign national lives in social housing at taxpayer expense, they automatically fail our economic test and will be deported.

Overheard in Manchester: "It's only Andy ****ing Burnham."

I've joined @UKLabour. As an environmentalist and left-leaning social democrat, my views are now far closer to Labour than the increasingly radicalised Greens and are much better reflected in the work of people like Ed Miliband and Sadiq Khan than by Zack Polanski or Mothin Ali.

Reform has called to ban wholesale postal voting and ensure that only British citizens can vote in British elections. A direct policy response to the problems we witnessed in Gorton & Denton. If you want to save our democracy, vote Reform.

BREAKING International election observers have claimed they saw "concerningly high levels" of family voting in the Gorton and Denton by-election Family voting is an illegal practice where two voters use one polling booth at the same time. It can involve husbands instructing their wives how to vote Democracy Volunteers UK observed 32 cases of family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations they observed. A spokesman for the organisation said it was the "highest levels of family voting at any election in our 10 year history of observing elections in the UK." John Ault, director of Democracy Volunteers, said: “Today we have seen concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton. Based on our assessment of today’s observations, we have seen the highest levels of family voting at any election in our 10 year history of observing elections in the UK.’ “We rarely issue a report on the night of an election, but the data we have collected today on family voting, when compared to other recent by-elections, is extremely high. “In the other recent Westminster parliamentary by-election in Runcorn and Helsby we saw family voting in 12% of polling stations, affecting 1% of voters. In Gorton and Denton, we observed family voting in 68% of polling stations, affecting 12% of those voters observed.”
