‘A sectarian travesty’: The Greens’ dirty tricks in Gorton and Denton exposed

It’s election day in Gorton and Denton, and the polls are so tight it’s impossible to call a winner. The campaign itself has been an ugly one, with each party accusing the other of dirty tricks and the Greens accused of “manipulating” an area with a large Muslim population in an attempt to divide the contest along religious lines. Telegraph columnist Allister Heath decries this “retrograde step towards sectarianism” as a “disaster for democracy”, as elections should be “decided on whether policies are good or bad, not whether you win the demographic war”.Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim reflect on damaging revelations by the Daily Telegraph that reveal a very different picture about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s final visit to “say goodbye” to Jeffrey Epstein in New York in 2010.We want to hear from you!
