New from @hopenothate.org.uk ! We expose the rotten social media activity of yet another Staffordshire councillor, just months after the leader of the Council had to step down for similar posts. Shockingly extreme stuff that Reform can't ignore! hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/26/m...

Last year, Reform UK took control of or became the biggest party in 14 local authorities, and won two mayoralties. Many promises were made, but what has the year actually looked like? Not so good. Read our new report on Reform’s year of power. hopenothate.org.uk/reform-in-po...

New from @hopenothate.org.uk: A bank robber, a knife attacker and a child sex offender: Bristol’s dismal “March for Unity” hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/12/a...

The far right has always attracted violent thugs and criminals who blame immigrants for violence and criminality. We look at Bristol’s “March for Unity” last weekend, which included a convicted bank robber, a knife attacker, a child sex offender and more hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/12/a...

Last week, former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe announced the official launch of his new party, Restore Britain. Many on the far right, who see Reform as too moderate, celebrated. Here’s all you need to know: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/02/17/r...

Lots of talk about Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain this week. Here is @hopenothate.org.uk take on what it means for the far right, the danger it poses and challenges it faces. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/02/17/r...

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...

Maybe Tommy Robinson has developed a passionate interest in the wars in Sudan/Yemen. Maybe he has been brushing up on Turkish drone technology and the complexities of the Yemen conflict. Or perhaps something else is going on linked to the UAE? hopenothate.org.uk/2026/01/12/w...

🚨 NEW: Neo-Nazi group White Vanguard (WV) has suffered a major split. A series of calamitous errors has cost the group half its membership, forced a change in leadership and left its future uncertain. Read our report: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/01/07/t...

My review of the new Antibalas album for Songlines magazine: ‘Second-wave Afrobeat pioneers Antibalas return with Hourglass, a vibrant, fully instrumental offering that sees the Brooklyn collective reconnect with their rhythmic roots.’ Full review here: www.songlines.co.uk/review/hourg...

🚨 NEW: Figures with violent pasts are gravitating to the British Democrats, a fascist political party seeking to embed itself within the growing anti-migrant protest movement. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/12/11/v...

So Piers Morgan plays clips of Nick Fuentes saying he likes Hitler, is overtly racist, questions the Holocaust etc etc and yet STILL calls him a 'prominent conservative.' This is normalisation in action.

The Piers Morgan interview with Nick Fuentes is a great example of why interviewing fascists to get views is idiotic/irresponsible. Absolutely nothing new in it. Fuentes had said it all before on his own show. Morgan has merely raised Fuentes' profile and introduced him to new audiences for views.

When will people like Piers Morgan realise that by debating a Holocaust denier like Nick Fuentes he's fundamentally conceding that the reality of the Holocaust is something to be debated. It aids and amplifies denial. All because Morgan wants views for his irrelevant YouTube channel.

A new generation of fascists are fusing combat training with extremist ideology. HOPE not hate investigates the Midlands chapter of the secretive Active Club network, and exposes the figures driving its expansion. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/10/30/a...

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

If you're tired of the biased BBC don't forget to tune in to GB News to watch shows hosted by Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson, Matthew Goodwin or Jacob Rees-Mogg. 🤣

Of course the BBC has made mistakes but watching these right/far-right commentators pretending they care about impartiality and journalistic standards when they appear on/host GB News shows is laughable. I wish the BBC spent less time placating ppl who will hate it regardless of what they do.

It was a pleasure to go on the @newint.bsky.social podcast, The World Unspun to discuss the rise of the global far right. newint.org/politics/202...

Peter Thiel's lectures about the antichrist/Armageddon are unsurprising but wild! Claims that it being difficult for people to hide wealth in tax havens is one sign the antichrist may be amassing power. “It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money.” 🤣 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The authoritarian crack down on American anti-fascists is deeply worrying to see. It's one of those moments when a fascist leader tells the world who he really is. There must be better ways that European anti-fascists can show our solidarity and offer support.
