Excellent from Hope Not Hate on Matt Goodwin, the Reform UK candidate for the by-election in Gorton and Denton.

"Other colleagues recall Goodwin’s difficulty with taking criticism – necessary in the peer reviewed world of academia – with one calling him “aggressive, brittle and deeply insecure”.

State of HATE 2025: The Opportunist Extremist: The Strange Radicalisation of Matthew Goodwin

Once a respected academic studying the far right, Matthew Goodwin has become one of its most influential figures. Now a GB News pundit and Reform UK fanboy, he’s traded scholarship for reactionary grift, using his own research to push the same divisive narratives he once warned about. Joe Mulhall unpacks Goodwin’s radicalisation and the ambition driving it.

Some people study exploitation and ask themselves 'how do I end this?' Other people ask themselves 'why am I not the one doing the exploitation?'. It would be nice if we had a way of disqualifying members of the second group from positions of power.
