Greater Manchester Police has launched an investigation into a complaint of "assault" from GB News reporter Sophie Reaper.

Reaper, the People's Channel’s North West reporter, was broadcasting live from a Stand Up To Racism protest near a hotel in Altrincham, Cheshire.

She said she was "a bit shaken up" and had "a bit of a killer headache" and had complained to police as "I don’t feel it is appropriate for violence to ever be used."
