Voters in Makerfield have thoroughly rejected Reform UK’s Rob Kenyon. They tried to turn this by-election into a breakthrough moment. Voters denied them that. HOPE not hate’s research exposed Rob Kenyon’s sexist posts, @carolvorders.bsky.social Vorderman took that message to 13,000 voters.

Very proud of the @hopenothate.org.uk research team this morning for doing so much amazing work exposing the misogyny and extremism of Reform's candidate in Makerfield.

Can't be absolutely certain but it very much looks like Tommy Robinson is in the Shalyapin Bar of the Hotel Metropol in Moscow with Errol Musk.

He can quite literally be bought for £69.67.

So Matthew Goodwin is Reform's candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election. I wrote this last year about how there is nothing he won’t say if he thinks it will get him more views and paying Substack subscribers. He’s an opportunist extremist. hopenothate.org.uk/state-of-hat...

The V&A Storeroom is the best museum I’ve been to ages! A wonderful slice of its staggeringly diverse collection, most presented without comment.

While Farage was clearly tricked into recording a tribute to the infamous pedophile Ian Watkins on Cameo, it does go to show that this man will say literally anything for money. It makes you wonder what he's saying on behalf of his funders and employers when real money is involved.

If you haven't signed up to the @hopenothate.org.uk Reform Watch Newsletter yet have a read of the last one and you will see why it's well worth it! hopenothate.org.uk/2026/01/07/r...
