44% of the population of Denton and Gorton are ethnic minority, the majority of them born in the UK.

Reform's candidate says those people aren't British and are liable for deportation.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

I don’t think the likes of those in government would agree. Especially not the UK government and Ms Reeves. She wouldn’t understand the truth behind it, she’s never had to do it and has no intention of ever finding out !

I don’t care if Reform calls me a bad word on WhatsApp. But the story behind its gaffe is far more worrying | Will Hayward
