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.

Really interesting new article by @patrikhermansson.bsky.social and @harryshukman.bsky.social explaining what Anglofuturism is. Check it out! hopenothate.org.uk/2025/10/08/r...

Is it fair to call the Unite The Kingdom march far right? 🎥 @joemulhall.bsky.social, HOPE not Hate's Director of Research spoke to the BBC on why it's important to monitor who is at the event and what is being said.

Tommy Robinson and his friends at Rebel News couldn’t resist a final grift before his big rally on September 13th. 50 of his most ‘devoted’ followers are paying up to £4,099 for what looks like the worst school trip ever, complete with museums and allocated leisure time.

So @hopenothate.org.uk got inside Reform's conference and found a party riven by internal divisions, extreme views, and, perhaps most notably of all, a swirl of conspiracy theories. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/10/i...

Tommy Robinson and Rebel Media have turned grifting into an art form. Rebel News is charging its most ‘devoted’ followers up to £4,099 to attend the demonstration this weekend. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/12/i...

🚨Last weekend, Reform UK held their party conference in Birmingham, and as expected, it was a magnet to a range of conspiracy theories and wild, fringe ideas. 🧲 hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/10/i...

Reform and X are not Britain, as John Curtice shows, though this loud minority voice thinks it is Migration bad for economy? 32% of public - but 73% of Reform Bad for our culture? 31% of public - 81% of Reform Rights for ethnic minorities have gone too far? 18% of public - but 49% of Reform

Lots of media coverage about the huge number of anti-migrant protests happening this weekend. It's obviously worrying but perspective is important. Across all the demos that happened today there were probably fewer than 1000 protestors combined. It's not a national outpouring.

Union Jacks and St George’s crosses are going up on lampposts across the UK. The Daily Mail called those behind it an “army of patriots.” But the truth is very different. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/22/o...

🚨 Earlier this year, the leaders of neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative made an “explosive” announcement. Mark Collett, the self-described “Nazi sympathiser”, and his deputy Laura Towler described a ruse they had apparently pulled over the Electoral Commission. But it was a lie.
