🧵Today @hopenothate.org.uk have released our State of Hate 2025 report.

A massive project, its main themes are the rise of Reform UK, last year’s racist rioting and the street movement aligned with Tommy Robinson.

Loads of analysis to get stuck into.

Incredible scoop here from Hope not Hate:

New one from @hopenothate.org.uk on Britain First's shambolic showing in Nuneaton on the weekend.

We tracked down the big screen company. Interestingly, the quote we received for the same package as BF was about £1,800 cheaper than what they told supporters they'd paid.

What's going on there? 🤔
💥 NEW: With a poor turnout and unfulfilled promises, Britain First’s Nuneaton rally on Saturday was a shambles.

We have also uncovered a puzzle about the cost of the big screen hired for the event: why was our quote much cheaper for the exact same set-up?

In addition to this, the riots were preceded by several years of consistent anti-migrant activism.

It is unsurprising that some of those places worst affected by the riots are those repeatedly targeted by far-right activists over the past three years.

One of the things that really comes through in this undercover investigation is just how frustrated the Britain First membership is with the leader, Paul Golding.

Golding is known for running activists into the ground and milking them constantly for cash, often for items that never actually appear.
🚨 🎥 Britain First are dangerous, divisive and extreme and we’ve got the undercover footage to prove it.

Our reporter rose through the ranks of one of the UK’s most notorious far-right groups, to expose the true depths of their abhorrent racism.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Another remarkable piece of work by my @hopenothate.org.uk colleagues. Harry infiltrated the anti-Muslim party Britain First and over a number of months was elevated to being a core activist.

What Britain First says publicly and what they say privately are very different. The truth will shock you.
