"In a letter to Matt Goodwin, Labour's deputy leader, Lucy Powell MP, said an investigation by the Manchester Mill revealed five separate members who had campaigned with Goodwin had shared racist content online and had expressed support for far-right groups. Goodwin is hoping to become Reform UK's ninth MP in the hotly contested seat in Manchester, which could see Labour's 13,000-vote majority overturned by a Reform or Green candidate."
"The report, which referenced research from the anti-fascist campaign group Hope Not Hate, highlighted social media posts by Goodwin's interim campaign manager in Tameside, Adam Mitula. This includes his suggestion that 60-70% of transgender people are paedophiles, that he would never touch a Jewish woman and his use of the n-word. The Guardian also found tweets published by Mitula where he claimed there are Muslim no go ghettos in the UK."
Labour deputy leader Lucy Powell wrote to Matt Goodwin after a Manchester Mill investigation identified five campaigners who shared racist content and expressed support for far-right groups. Goodwin is the Reform UK candidate in the Gorton and Denton byelection contesting a seat that could overturn Labour's 13,000-vote majority. The report highlighted social media posts by interim campaign manager Adam Mitula alleging 60–70% of transgender people are paedophiles, saying he would never touch a Jewish woman, using the n-word, and claiming Muslim no-go ghettos. Mitula also expressed support for influencer Andrew Tate. Another campaigner, Kelly Cooling, allegedly supported Britain First, and Alanna Vine has been pictured campaigning and was reportedly suspended by the Conservative party.
