In late June, the shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick took the stand at a conference. Addressing the crowd of Tories and radical-right political figures, he made an unusual statement. “I am what can be described as an Anglofuturist.” he said. His statement was applauded. But what did he actually mean?
The movement's aims are much darker than they appear at first glance. Behind the gimmicky images of spaceships named after f...
Reform UK national director Adam Bounds tried to recruit members to a "physical resistance group" for "gorillas by night tactics" and promoted far-right and conspiracy theory content.
HOPE not hate has identified a now-deleted account on the messaging app Telegram as having belonged to Reform UK’s Adam Bounds.
After last year’s general election, Nigel Farage promised that “those ‘bad apples’ that have crept in wi...
Ahead of the release of his latest book, How to Defeat the Far Right, HOPE not hate CEO Nick Lowles sat down in London for a conversation with award-winning journalist Ros Wynne-Jones.
He talks about his 'origin story' and how he got involved with anti-racism and anti-fascism activism, through to the radicalisation of a young man during covid and just how the HOPE not Hate team identified one of the instigators of the...
Organised by Stephen Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, the "Unite the Kingdom" event attracted some of the most extreme figures in the British far right. Although the event was nominally concerned with “unity, boldness and truth”, it was marred by far-right campaigners expressing the belief that Britain is being invaded by Islam.
While Reform UK wants to present itself as a respectable party, HOPE not hate can reveal that one of its staffers has promoted extreme far-right figures and racist views on social media.
“We are going to professionalise the party,” pledged Reform UK leader Nigel Farage after last July’s general election, in which his party stood racist, anti-Muslim and antisemitic candidates. “Those few ‘bad apples’ that have crept in will be gone, ...
On both social and traditional media it’s easy to find commentary claiming that Nigel Farage’s extreme deportations policy and the recent series of anti-migrant protests represent the will of the British people.
The lessons of the past two decades across Europe are clear. Social democratic parties that shift rightwards to head off a threat from the radical or far right end up losing. If Labour continues to try and occupy Reform’s sp...
As sure as the rising sun, bitter public recriminations have once again broken out among the UK’s fascist fringe. A rebel faction in the Homeland Party, Britain’s largest fascist political party, has demanded the ejection of its fractious chairman Kenny Smith and led an exodus of the party membership.
Is Reform UK as tough on crime as it claims to be, or are Nigel Farage and co hypocrites when it comes to just who is breaking the law?
If their own record is anything to go by, Reform will only crack down on their opponents and they will be happy to bend the law for their friends.
One year ago, the horrific murders of Alice, Elsie and Bebe took place in Southport.
While many mourned, Britain’s far right twisted the tragedy, sparking the biggest outbreak of far-right rioting in post-war Britain.
Far-right actors seized the moment, spreading lies, stoking anger and unleashing seven days of unrest that left the country reeling.
We look at how it unfolded, and why the conditions that led to it still matter.
Reform UK has received millions of pounds in donations from climate deniers and fossil fuel sources, so it is not a surprise that Nigel Farage wants to make net zero the “next Brexit”.
Which makes it all a bit embarrassing that on Monday, two of Reform’s top councillors missed an important council date to discuss a new solar panel project.
“Do I want to be an MP? Do I want to spend every Friday for the next five years in Clacton?” Thus spoke Nigel Farage in an interview with The Times in February 2024, about which the reporter wrote: “His expression suggests not.”
Just months later Farage joined Reform UK as leader and decided he did want to be a MP after all - even if he still wasn’t planning on spending much time in the constituency, Clacton-on-Sea, which elected hi...
While the involvement of Lords, former MPs and councillors in the Great British PAC might give it a respectable appearance, HOPE not hate analysis shows the pressure group is packed with extremists, with thirteen members of its team having promoted far right views online, including one who shared pro-Hitler and antisemitic content and another who posted racist comments about the IQ of ethnic minorities.

The Basketweavers could be the most important far-right network you have never heard of. Operating in the shadows, it is an interconnected group of extremists who want to build their own society away from the mainstream.

Welcome to the Radio 43 podcast from HOPE not hate, the antifascism show.
Nick and Joe sit down for the first episode of 2024 to discuss:
On Thursday 23rd November, a 49-year-old Irish citizen, originally from Algeria but who had lived in Ireland for 20 years, committed a heinous knife attack on children at a primary school in Parnell Square East in Dublin.
Quickly, far-right and anti-migrant activists and agitators turned to social media, spreading a range of misinformation about the attack, including that the perpetrator was an illegal immigrant.
...
On Armistice Day, 2000 far right activists and football hooligans descended on London under the guise of "defending" the Cenotaph from pro-Palestine demonstrators.
10 days ago, Britain's hooligan chat groups were filled with the usual discussion of football and beer. But they quickly mobilised as the (now former) Home Secretary Braverman branded pro-Palestine demonstrations as "hate marches", and...
On this episode, Nick and Joe discuss what is a very fast-moving situation.
The far-right are mobilising in London this weekend in opposition to a demonstration calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Near the centre of this is Tommy Robinson, who was allowed back onto X (Twitter) on Monday, and who has mentioned repeatedly that he’s wanted to get the English Defence League (EDL) back together.
Home Secretary B...
