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...

On 24 Jan, Ben Sykes (AKA No Filter Britain) hosted a march in Blackpool. Football hooligan turned neo-Nazi Ryan Ferguson advertised it as “whites only, no blacks” hopenothate.org.uk/2026/02/05/w...

ICYMI: this month, we told the inside story of White Vanguard. The neo-Nazi group made its name through its militant approach; intimidating local politicians, drilling martial arts and hijacking public protests. However, it underwent a catastrophic split: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/01/07/t...

But the stakes are rising. With rumours of a Westminster by-election in Gorton and local by-elections already happening, we need to be ready. Please help us raise £10,000 by next Friday to fund organisers, materials and rapid response in key areas. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/184951/...

Huge thanks to everyone who’s donated. We’re almost at £10,000. Every donation is funding organisers, materials and rapid response work to challenge Reform UK in 2026.

We’re looking for someone to join the HOPE not hate research team for 3 months to work on our anti-Reform team. 🔎 Application deadline is 01 February 2025 at 7pm. hopenothate.org.uk/about-us/car...

Nick Tenconi presents himself as a defender of Britain, opposing the establishment for the working man. Radicalised during the pandemic, he has become the speaker of choice at anti-migrant protests. But who is he really? Here's all you need to know: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/10/21/n...

Earlier this week, HOPE not hate told the inside story of White Vanguard (WV), a neo-Nazi group that broke apart last month. Long-standing tensions culminated in a mass walkout after the arrest of co-leader Kai Cunningham. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/01/07/t...

🚨 NEW: HOPE not hate blows the lid on Aryan Front, a new neo-Nazi group pushing for “Racial Holy War”. While tiny, the group is aligned to a militant white supremacist cult and poses a violent threat. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/01/09/a...

Read the inside story of White Vanguard, among the newest and most extreme neo-Nazi groups in the UK

As the year draws to a close, HOPE not hate would like to extend a special award to Kenny Smith in recognition of his remarkable service to the anti-fascist cause. He has been instrumental in causing crippling rifts in the UK's largest fascist organisations. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/12/17/t...

New from me: Violent figures are gravitating to the British Democrats, a fascist political party embedding itself in the anti-migrant protest movement This includes the former UK head of the Misanthropic Division, linked to nazi paramilitaries in Ukraine hopenothate.org.uk/2025/12/11/v...

🚨 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...

🚨 NEW: HOPE not hate can today reveal that a group of far- right activists has set up a covert research unit to gather data on thousands of progressives. Our team has gone inside their chat group to discover more about their plans. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/11/20/e...

So happy to see this amazing piece of work by my colleague Anki Deo in the Guardian last week! We've done the biggest poll ever on who the Reform supporters are - and why for example immigration is not such simple issue for them as you might think 👇

🚨On Halloween, ‘concerned citizens’ in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, shot fireworks at a hotel housing asylum seekers and encouraged residents to commit suicide during a protest, showing the ugly face of anti-migrant hate.⬇️

Great piece in the Times about White Vanguard, featuring @dlhnh.bsky.social ! www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

💥NEW: Across the UK, vigilante groups are on the rise, patrolling UK streets in the name of “public safety”. In reality, many of these self styled "guardians" are little more than bullies with violent pasts. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/11/04/p...

💥NEW: 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...

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...

🚨 NEW: The rapid spread of Active Clubs, a network of fascist martial arts groups, is among the most concerning trends on the British extreme right. We can now expose the figures behind AC Midlands - one of the best established chapters in the country.

UKIP leader Nick Tenconi presents himself as a defender of Britain, opposing the establishment for the working man. Radicalised during the pandemic, he has become the speaker of choice at anti-migrant protests. But who is he really? Here's all you need to know: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/10/21/n...

🚨NEW: After last year’s general election, Nigel Farage promised that “‘bad apples’ that have crept in will be gone” from Reform UK. But our team has exposed yet another so-called “bad apple” who has worked for the party since the election. 👇 hopenothate.org.uk/2025/10/01/e...

💥 NEW: “I’d shoot Starmer myself.” That’s what Reform UK councillor John Allen said just days ago. Our investigation revealed his comments and The Guardian has now confirmed he has been suspended by party HQ. ❗ hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/19/s...

Now we bring you the best gossip from the conference… hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/19/o...

ICYMI:

The far right say their anti-migrant protests are about “protecting communities”. Our new investigation shows the reality: violence, criminal records, and hypocrisy. 🧵 hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/16/r...

🚨 Large far-right demo in central London today, organised by Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) under the banner Unite the Kingdom. HOPE not hate will be monitoring closely. Follow this thread for updates throughout the day.

“Hate breeds when those in power are silent. I implore you and other ministers to speak out urgently in defence of our migrant communities and our multicultural society more generally." — Nick Lowles, CEO, HOPE not hate www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

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...

🚨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...

💥 NEW: An aristocrat who described homosexuality as “gravely dangerous” is among the speakers at Reform’s conference this weekend. Viscount Christopher Monckton is participating in a panel about climate change at Nigel Farage’s Birmingham event on Saturday. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/05/v...

You did it. The neo-Nazi gig planned for Great Yarmouth has been CANCELLED. ❗ Over 34,000 of you emailed the Home Office and spread the word. Local press, councils and police took notice, and under pressure, we have just received the news that the venue has pulled the plug.

🚨 Over 18,000 people have already emailed the Home Office demanding they shut down this Nazi gig. Let’s turn up the pressure. If you haven’t added your name yet, now’s the time – and don’t forget to share the link with friends and family. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/176528/...

❗The biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade is coming to Great Yarmouth and we need your help to stop it. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

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...

New from me: EXPOSED: Britain First’s “March for Remigration” led by convicted people smuggler hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/19/e...

💥NEW: We can reveal that Lee Twamley, photographed at the front of Britain First’s “March for Remigration” in Manchester this month, has served prison time for trying to smuggle Vietnamese migrants into the UK. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/19/e...

🚨 NEW: Homeland, the UK’s largest fascist party, is haemorrhaging members. Dozens of activists have broken away, accusing leader Kenny Smith of being a paranoid drunk, wrecking party events, and destroying the party itself. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/13/h...

🚨 HOPE not hate can name the activists reviving the UK’s most openly neo-Nazi group and bringing dangerous new tactics to the streets. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/06/t...

New from me and @harryshukman.bsky.social: The leaders of the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative have been caught lying yet again. We expose the incredible lengths they went to in order to NOT get registered as a political party: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/04/r...

Ugly scenes in Epping Forest last night. A protest outside the Bell Hotel, which houses asylum seekers, descended into violence. Police vehicles were attacked, officers injured, and fireworks thrown. 🧵 Here’s what happened and who was behind it: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/07/18/v...

Violence at the Bell Hotel: Far-right footprints in Epping Forest We take a look at the violence at an anti-migrant protest in Epping last night, after years of far-right activism targeting a local hotel. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/07/18/v...

🚨NEW: Paul Nuttall is now Reform UK’s vice chair. Over the years, claims under his name included: – Tranmere Rovers footballer ❌ – Doctorate in History ❌ – Charity board member ❌ Most didn’t stand up to scrutiny. We dig in 👇 hopenothate.org.uk/2025/07/03/w...

Everyone’s watching Nigel Farage, but it’s also worth keeping an eye on the man he forced out of Reform UK: Rupert Lowe. Lowe is positioning himself as a leading voice on the far right, launching his own rival Restore Britain movement this week. Read our blog: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/07/02/h...

Rupert Lowe’s ever-growing list of xenophobic comments and hardline positions, coupled with his willingness to openly collaborate with high-profile far-right figures, means he is currently the most extreme MP in parliament. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/07/02/h...

Pleased to have worked on this project alongside @harryshukman.bsky.social and @patrikhermansson.bsky.social Inside “The Basketweavers”, possibly the largest UK far-right network you have never heard of. Read the full report here: hopenothate.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Who are the Basketweavers? Behind the purposefully inconspicuous name is a shadowy far right network with plans to form a new elite, and connections to a swathe of far-right extremists. hopenothate.org.uk/the-basketwe...

After 6 months of rapid growth and self-congratulation, fascist Homeland Party’s momentum has stalled. Aggressive recruitment grew membership to 1,200+ and propagandists insisted the party’s success was “inevitable”. But its first real test - local elections - was a total flop.

In the aftermath of the local elections, and as online delusions clash against reality, I survey the recent shifts and rifts within the fascist Homeland Party, including the group’s international networking and electoral prospects. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/11/h...
