State of Hate 2025 is a great piece of work, and hats off to all my colleagues.

What I've outlined here is just a fraction of what's in the report. You can download the whole thing for free from our website.

And there's also a horrifying piece by
@patrikhermansson.bsky.social on the 764 group; an online exploitation cult that is grooming teenagers for violence and suffering for its own sake.

We also have an excellent long-read by @gregorydavishnh.bsky.social on the ins-and-outs of Reform UK and the threat it poses.

Another is a piece I've written that looks at some of the features of last year's outbreak of racist rioting which followed the horrific Southport murders.

I show how the riots were a product of our post-organisational far right.

There are a few featured articles on our website.

One is an analysis of the row between Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson as Farage tries to detoxify his political brand.

@nicklowles.bsky.social has the details.

Repeated intrusions by so-called "migrant hunters" and far-right orgs exacerbated situations that were already challenging to manage. In doing so, they pushed anti-migrant narratives that were picked up by the far right and elements of the reactionary press, compounding feelings of local grievance.

Activists within Homeland call for the immediate deportation of all immigrants and a "zero immigrants" policy.

This would collapse various public services, force a massive Gov tax hike, further slow growth and lead to an inflationary surge. Unsurprisingly, they don't address any of that.

Many of them would happily screw each other over for a bit of extra clout.
