A resurfaced clip has gone viral of Reform UK’s by-election candidate Matt Goodwin saying it was ‘unfortunate to be in Manchester.’
On Tuesday, the GB News host and hard-right personality was unveiled as Reform’s candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election, expected to take place on February 26.
But within hours of Goodwin being announced as Reform’s candidate for the Manchester seat, a rather humiliating video of him was doing the rounds on social media.

The clip shows Goodwin telling a crowd of people that he “was lucky enough, or unfortunate enough, to be in Manchester a few days ago.”
“The energy in this room is ten times what it was in Manchester, so congratulations,” he added.
The clip was shared on socials by the Labour Party, where it has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
This isn’t the only embarrassing video of Goodwin that has done the rounds since his candidacy was announced.
Many have shared a peculiar clip of him eating a book during an appearance on Sky News.
Along with his less-than-flattering words about Manchester, many have suggested that Goodwin has little interest or knowledge about the people of Gorton and Denton and their local issues.
Goodwin has already claimed the by-election is a “referendum on Keir Starmer,” whilst it has been pointed out that he lives nowhere near Gorton and Denton.
