Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Parliament returns today.

But rather than representing his constituents after six weeks away from the Commons, Farage is speaking at an event alongside Trump’s authoritarian allies in Washington 👇🏻

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

The language of "treason" and "traitors" has dangerous precedents, both in Britain and elsewhere.

Yet GB News is now ramping up such toxic and inflammatory rhetoric.

This is what Jet2, All Clear Travel and Boxt are supporting by advertising on GB News

Has Ofcom given the green light to Talk Radio to become more extreme by repeatedly failing to enforce its rules with GB News?

Toxic & divisive media narratives can have dangerous real-world consequences. Britain urgently needs a broadcasting regulator that is willing & able to act robustly.
