A few weeks ago, Restore was celebrating 10 council wins like the dawn of a glorious future. “We are inevitable” spokesman Charlie Downes said as the party surpassed 120,000 members. But a series of strategic blunders and rifts have dented this optimism. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/30/u...

Nigel Farage has filed his second complaint against HOPE not hate in a month. 🧵

The weather isn't the only thing making Farage sweat today 🥵

Since launching as a party in April, Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain has acted as a beacon to the extreme right. In the first of a series of articles, we expose the seasoned extremists now washing up at Restore meetings and actions. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/27/r...

As we prepare for the 2026 local elections, we’re STILL finding new examples of how awful the 2025 intake of Reform councillors was. Meet James Grainger… hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/23/i...

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...

Another pair of rotten Reform candidates... First up: Ben Rowe of Plymouth, a wannabe Vlad the Impaler who thinks "Jews [are] creating division by forcing other races on our societies" hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/23/a... 1/2

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...

EXCLUSIVE: HOPE not hate can reveal that fascist figurehead Steve Laws has claimed to have “daily” contact with Rupert Lowe’s closest advisors at Restore Britain. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/30/s...

🚨 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...

🚨 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...

Reform council leader accused of racism after alleged remarks about Sadiq Khan

AI is out of control 😡

Perfect

💥 ICYMI: HOPE not hate’s @harryshukman.bsky.social went undercover to expose how the secretive group The Basketweavers hides racism, conspiracy theories, and extreme misogyny behind seemingly harmless social meetups. hopenothate.org.uk/undercover-i...

This really does display a woeful understanding of politics. When it comes to sleaze, it’s a politician’s job to avoid anything with even the faintest whiff of it.

Meet the Great British PAC 🧵 GB PAC is not a political party, but rather a group modelled on US-style political action groups that receive big sums of money to fund campaigns for or against candidates and issues. Read our newest blog: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/23/m...

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...

Very exciting new report from @hopenothate.org.uk. Meet The Basketweavers! This could be the most important far-right network you have never heard of with over a thousand members across the UK, US, and beyond. hopenothate.org.uk/the-basketwe...

NEW 🚨Reform UK’s newly appointed Director and Secretary Charlton Edwards has a history of promoting conspiracy theory and far right content online. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/12/r...

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...

Zia Yusuf’s resignation and u-turn aren’t the only things causing division in Reform UK this week. We can reveal a key parliamentary staffer has a history as a Tommy Robinson fanboy, directly contradicting his boss’s public stance. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/10/n...

The irony of Aidan Heaps, aka "Capt Britain", complaining about the burqa - he literally never appears in public without his embarrassing superhero disguise!

Greta Thunberg and the Madleen offered a heart in a heartless world. They reminded us that Israel is deliberately starving an entire people - and the West could stop that at any moment. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Funny to see Tesla fans responding to the burning Waymos in Calfornia with “Yay less competition for Robotaxi!” rather than “Wow I bet that’ll happen to Robotaxi too”

He plotted terror attacks on mosques and synagogues. He and his accomplices stockpiled 200+ weapons. Now we can reveal Brogan Stewart, jailed last month, was trying to join the British Movement, one of the most extreme neo-Nazi groups in the UK. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/06/t...

Love to log on to Facebook and see what we’re discussing today.

On Saturday, the so-called Great British National Strike attempted to bring the country to a standstill, armed with placards railing against immigration, net-zero and the government. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/05/28/g...

@gruk is this right?

Looks like the Daily Express decided not to share the news that they had footage of an MP making an antisemitic joke at the time. Fascinating! www.tiktok.com/@dailyexpres...

Proud to have worked on this lengthy investigation with @harryshukman.bsky.social @patrikhermansson.bsky.social & @dlhnh.bsky.social. We can finally name the elusive Nazi influencer 'Morgoth', and reveal his ideological contribution to the manifesto of the Charleston mass-killer Dylann Roof.

HOPE not hate can reveal that Tom Huburn-King, a key organiser for the Homeland Party, was an active member of a secretive neo-Nazi group described by a judge as having “a criminal and terrorist purpose”. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/04/24/e...
