"Do we want leaders that know how to make money?” asked Nigel Farage this week, defending himself from a growing financial scandal. The question we would like to pose is: what sort of money? hopenothate.org.uk/2026/07/09/s...

Nigel Farage just made his statement on his "future in public life." It amounted to this: it’s a conspiracy, and it’s everyone else’s fault. Yet there’s still no answer to the only question that matters: why did someone on the other side of the world give him £5 million?

"Almost half of the videos we analysed (44%) contained masculinity-related themes". voxpol.eu/we-analysed-...

Nigel Farage says he is one of the most physically attacked politicians of modern times. So why does his party still have a councillor who called for politicians to be shot? Reform must act now and expel Adrian White. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/07/06/w...

“Far-right individuals have also adopted memes as a way to push "more palatable" antisemitism, which is less likely to be picked up by moderators”. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

This Reform councillor says he lives in London. So how can he represent the people of Hull?

Does Reform UK have a "woman problem"? Their own former director of comms seems to think so.

At HOPE not hate, it's our mission to expose and oppose the politics of hatred, and our exposé of the Reform UK candidate’s vile sexist views and 13,000 letters to voters from Carol Vorderman made the vital difference on the streets in the Makerfield by-election.

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

Voters in Makerfield have thoroughly rejected Reform UK’s Rob Kenyon. They tried to turn this by-election into a breakthrough moment. Voters denied them that. HOPE not hate’s research exposed Rob Kenyon’s sexist posts, @carolvorders.bsky.social Vorderman took that message to 13,000 voters.

We're calling on the government to launch a comprehensive and transparent inquiry that looks at the full range of Russian interference in Britain. Add your name 👇 secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/193695/...

NEW: Is Tommy Robinson a paid Russian asset, or just Putin's useful idiot? For years, the Russian state and its proxies have promoted him, amplified him, and fed him lines. He has repaid them by parroting the Kremlin and spreading its disinformation. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/17/p...

Reform’s sexism scandals are not confined to Makerfield. Just look at what Alex Clarke, newly elected Reform councillor for Harton ward in South Tyneside, says on the podcast that he runs under his own name. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/17/w...

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenot.bsky.social Huge kudos to all involved for doing the job the UK police & CPS failed to do: naming the alleged spymaster & clearly showing Kremlin’s role. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It has been ten years since Jo Cox MP was murdered by a far-right extremist while serving her constituents in Batley and Spen. Today, we pause to remember Jo and her belief that “we have more in common than that which divides us”.

EXCLUSIVE: The two Ukrainian men found guilty of firebombing Keir Starmer’s house were recruited on and paid by a Telegram channel working out of Russia. Our research, revealed by BBC Panorama this week, shows this was not an isolated plot. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/15/t...

"Remigration" is a clean word for an ugly idea: ethnic cleansing. Last month several hundred of Europe's far right gathered in a hotel near Porto, Portugal, to turn it into policy. We went inside. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/11/r...

Monday’s attack in North Belfast was horrific and our thoughts are with the victim and his family. People are understandably appalled, and are right to be upset and disturbed by such extreme violence in their community.

Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain has recruited from the fascist fringe and opened its doors to extremists. Today we expose another trio of Restore activists in the Makerfield by-election, who have pasts in the BNP, Patriotic Alternative, and/or its splinter groups. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/09/r...

Can't be absolutely certain but it very much looks like Tommy Robinson is in the Shalyapin Bar of the Hotel Metropol in Moscow with Errol Musk.

Digital Trapdoors follows the online lives of a 17-year-old young man and a 22-year-old young woman. It shows how extremist ideas are “microdosed” through entertainment and lifestyle content, radicalising young people before they even realise it. hopenothate.org.uk/digital-trap...

Last night a violent protest erupted in Southampton, following the release of new footage relating to the horrifying murder of Henry Nowak. Far-right actors flocked to the event, which culminated in two arrests, with more expected in coming days. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/03/a...

NEW REPORT: How does online radicalisation manifest differently for girls and boys? Two routes to the same place. For young men: fitness, gaming, politics. For young women: wellness, homesteading, “tradwife” aesthetics. Read more: hopenothate.org.uk/digital-trap...

Reform UK’s complaint is a transparent attempt to dodge scrutiny after we exposed misogynistic posts from its Makerfield by-election candidate. Rather than answer serious questions about what he said about women, they are attacking the organisation that exposed him.

The far right often claim to protect women and girls, but tolerate violent abusers among their own. 25-year old Craig Kitts, one of the lead anti-migrant activists in Epping, is just the most recent example. Read our blog: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/05/28/e...

But if Restore Britain’s Head of Local Government is personally shielding a neo-Nazi from expulsion, the structure is exactly the problem. At some point, Restore Britain has to choose. Mass appeal, or ideological purity.

Pressure is now mounting inside Rupert Lowe’s party to deal with its noisy fascist faction. But when discussing claims of ethnonationalism, Lowe recently told The Spectator that while he was unwilling to vet supporters, “the actual structure of the party has none of that in it.”

Our investigation into Reform's Makerfield candidate Rob Kenyon has prompted a strong response from Carol Vorderman. Speaking to the Daily Mirror, she called Kenyon "a disgusting online abuser" and warned that Reform does not stand for the safety of women and girls. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Music has always had the ability to speak to us, and for us, in a way nothing else can. That’s why, if you want to understand the last 250 years of American life, one of the best ways to do it is to listen to the music that defined them.

Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain - high on their win in Great Yarmouth - has put up a candidate in the Makerfield byelection. We can reveal that people associated with the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative are campaigning for candidate Rebecca Shepherd. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/05/21/m...

"New research has revealed a chasm between reality and public perception of net migration, with a substantial portion of the public believing it has increased, despite figures showing a sharp fall." Net migration fell from 944,000 (2023) to 204,000 in 2025. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Today’s Unite the Kingdom rally will most likely be viewed as a disappointment by the organisers. Low turnout, low energy, and lack of high profile speakers raises questions on how long Lennon can continue these near-identical demos without losing momentum. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/05/16/b...

“Tommy Robinson’s” supporters are marching through London. But this is not just happening on the streets. It is happening on livestreams, YouTube channels, search results, social feeds and the online spaces where the far right try to control the story.

One called Nazis “real visionaries”. Another wants to “blast” all Muslims “off the face of the earth”. Third said Nigerians should be melted down to fill in pot holes. None of these people are suitable to hold elected office. Reform UK must act and expel them. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/05/12/d...

Reform candidates were not properly vetted. Now some are in public office. But communities do not have to sit back and watch. Join thousands of others standing up to Reform and learning how to hold them to account. hopenothate.org.uk/stop-reform/
