Reform UK just can't seem to get their vetting right. Today, we've rounded up the worst of their Blackburn candidates. One said Oswald Mosley “was right”, another called Enoch Powell “prophetic”, and said Blackburn is “the biggest shithole in the UK”. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/22/o...

Meet Ben Rowe, Reform’s candidate for Ham ward on Plymouth City Council. Ben fantasises about impaling Muslims, enjoys crude anti-black stereotypes, and believes that Keir Starmer is beholden to a “Globalist zion cult.” All on his public Facebook profile. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/23/a...

While Reform UK looks to dominate the right wing vote in the local elections in May, there is a variety of oddball reactionaries, fascist microparties, and independents competing for the sliver of support to the right of Reform. Read all about them here: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/21/t...

Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain has been attracting more and more extreme figures, including fascists and ethnonationalists. Why do these people see Lowe as their man? And why has Lowe refused to disavow them? hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/08/t...

The new party Restore Britain has galvanised the extreme right. This includes Steve Laws, who praises Hitler and pushes for “total remigration” of “non-whites” We reveal that Laws claims to have met and to have “daily” contact with Rupert Lowe MP’s top team hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/30/s...

🚨NEW INVESTIGATION 🚨 A five-minute walk from Houses of Parliament, overlooking Westminster Abbey, is one of London’s most unusual addresses. The neo-Gothic building and the political base on its second floor share a name. Welcome to The Sanctuary. investigations.hopenothate.org.uk/the-sanctuary/

Fantastic article in The Bristol Cable about the local anti-migrant scene

Last Saturday, we reported from the dismal, hate-filled (and possibly final) march of the so-called Bristol Patriots. Revealing their true colours, the far-right group invited and welcomed with open arms self-proclaimed neo-Nazis, a child sex offender, a bank robber and other unsavoury characters.

The Bristol Patriots “March for Unity” last Saturday claimed to be “united against extremism”. But attendance included fascists, convicted violent thugs, and a child sex offender. Read our report: 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...

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

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...

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...
