Fresh from defeat to the Greens in the Gorton & Denton victory last Thursday, Nigel Farage is nevertheless claiming victory, of a sort.At a press conference earlier in Westminster, he told GB News that he is “absolutely convinced that amongst British-born voters, Matthew Goodwin came first in that election”.
