More dodgy Reform candidates! Their Senedd candidate Emma Clatworthy claimed that “the government are actors”, and suggested people only took the Covid vaccine as they were “brainwashed and programmed”. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/15/t...
A Reform candidate in Gateshead went bankrupt over an £8 million debt. Now he wants to help run the council. New from @hopenothate.org.uk hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/14/w...
New from @hopenothate.org.uk. A well-known Reform activist who campaigned for the party in the forthcoming local elections has denied the Holocaust and repeatedly praised Adolf Hitler, HOPE not hate can reveal. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/14/a...
NEW: A Reform UK candidate standing in Gateshead, was behind a car supermarket that went into liquidation owing an estimated £4.4m to creditors.
Customers who had placed deposits on cars were among those owed money. More than 50 staff lost their jobs.

Tommy Robinson asks why a questioner is called 'The Midnight'. “I never came out before 12 oclock at night and it was easier to scoop up the girls because they were all drunk.” TR laughs: "Great answer!" This after 2 hours claiming he defends women from predators. Wild hypocrisy.
We explores the ethnonationalists and fascists who have lined up behind Restore Britain. When will leader Rupert Lowe disavow his party’s fascist fanbase? New from @hopenothate.org.uk hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/08/t...
New from @hopenothate.org.uk ! We expose the rotten social media activity of yet another Staffordshire councillor, just months after the leader of the Council had to step down for similar posts. Shockingly extreme stuff that Reform can't ignore! hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/26/m...
Last year, Reform UK took control of or became the biggest party in 14 local authorities, and won two mayoralties. Many promises were made, but what has the year actually looked like? Not so good.

New from @hopenothate.org.uk: A bank robber, a knife attacker and a child sex offender: Bristol’s dismal “March for Unity” hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/12/a...
The far right has always attracted violent thugs and criminals who blame immigrants for violence and criminality.
We look at Bristol’s “March for Unity” last weekend, which included a convicted bank robber, a knife attacker, a child sex offender and more

Last week, former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe announced the official launch of his new party, Restore Britain. Many on the far right, who see Reform as too moderate, celebrated.
Here’s all you need to know: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/02/17/r...
Lots of talk about Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain this week. Here is @hopenothate.org.uk take on what it means for the far right, the danger it poses and challenges it faces. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/02/17/r...
He can quite literally be bought for £69.67.
So Matthew Goodwin is Reform's candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election. I wrote this last year about how there is nothing he won’t say if he thinks it will get him more views and paying Substack subscribers. He’s an opportunist extremist. hopenothate.org.uk/state-of-hat...
The V&A Storeroom is the best museum I’ve been to ages! A wonderful slice of its staggeringly diverse collection, most presented without comment.
While Farage was clearly tricked into recording a tribute to the infamous pedophile Ian Watkins on Cameo, it does go to show that this man will say literally anything for money. It makes you wonder what he's saying on behalf of his funders and employers when real money is involved.
If you haven't signed up to the @hopenothate.org.uk Reform Watch Newsletter yet have a read of the last one and you will see why it's well worth it! hopenothate.org.uk/2026/01/07/r...
Maybe Tommy Robinson has developed a passionate interest in the wars in Sudan/Yemen. Maybe he has been brushing up on Turkish drone technology and the complexities of the Yemen conflict.
Or perhaps something else is going on linked to the UAE? hopenothate.org.uk/2026/01/12/w...
300 words for each. Shorter is fine.
