What does it mean to be British? The Telegraph's Natasha Leake went to Gorton and Denton to ask voters before next week's by-election. She also posed the question to Reform UK's candidate. "Englishness is an ethnicity, whereas Britishness is a nationality," says Matt Goodwin. "While technically it is possible to not be white and be English, Englishness refers to a very distinctive group that can trace its roots back on these islands hundreds of years, if not thousands of years." Labour is on track to finish third in next week’s Gorton and Denton by-election, behind the Green Party and Reform UK, a new poll suggests. The survey found that 22 per cent of voters in the Greater Manchester constituency intended to back the Greens on Feb 26. Twenty per cent said they would support Reform, with just 18 per cent planning to opt for Labour, according to the poll of 452 people. Such a result would mean the election of a fifth Green Party MP and plunge Sir Keir Starmer into a fresh crisis
