In a move predicted by Searchlight last year, UK neo-nazis led by Patriotic Alternative boss Mark Collett are planning to systematically infiltrate Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party. Collett has posted his intentions on the PA telegram feed, where he and Unity News Network host and PA sympathiser David Clews have posted a pompous “… declaration […]
Birmingham Council spikes Britain First rally with bollards ban
Birmingham City Council have put a spoke into the wheel of the rickettty old bike that is Paul Golding’s Britain First. They have decided that Britain First does not match up to its declared principles of equality, community cohesion and the promotion of British values. So, they are implementing their No Platform policy in relation […]
Homeland candidate echoes nazis with ‘untermensch’ slur
We said only recently that the problem with nazis trying to be respectable is that they just can’t keep their true beliefs buttoned down for very long. Then, we were talking about antisemitic remarks at last month’s Homeland Party conference. Now, another Homeland member has got himself into trouble by shooting his mouth off online. […]
Local elections 2025 – Farage surges and far right turn on Homeland
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has won control of at least seven councils in this week’s local elections. A party that often relies on dog-whistle racism and xenophobia will now try to control large swathes of England. These results make grim reading for anti-fascists and are an indictment of both Tory opportunism and Labour cowardice. Indulging […]
Homeland – where ‘sensible nationalism’ meets sniggery antisemitism
Last weekend’s Homeland Party Remigration Conference was predictable in many ways. The party of ‘sensible nationalism’ ordered its (male) troops to turn up in suits and ties and a good behaviour injunction was observed even when a small group of anti-fascists turned up outside the venue in Bourne, Lincolnshire. Well, most of the time, that […]
Nick Griffin launches new ‘Christian’ party
Failed BNP führer and twice-bankrupted Nick Griffin chose Easter Sunday to launch his latest political party. That might seem strange timing. England is just ten days away from county council elections, when real political parties are competing at the ballot box. However, Easter Sunday this year also happened fall on a date celebrated by nazis […]
Homeland Party – the anatomy of a split
The great Homeland Party split (reported by Searchlight as it unfolded during the Easter weekend) has hardened within the past 24 hours. 2025 is starting to look very much like 1980. After the 1979 general election setback, the National Front split in several directions, then split again in 1983-4, and again in 1986-7. Four way […]
Crisis in Homeland Party as leading figure quits
Steve Laws, one of the leading and most high-profile members of the Homeland Party, has resigned from the party in protest following the appointment of a controversial figure as the party’s Northern Ireland Organiser. But he has launched a much wider attack on the leadership which reflects a deeper split in the party. Laws was […]
‘Gay’ row threatens to split Homeland Party
Following our report yesterday, Homeland Party leader Kenny Smith’s Easter has got even worse. On Thursday night Smith lost his star speaker Renaud Camus due to a Home Office banning order. And tonight, a second speaker at the Homeland Party’s upcoming Remigration Conference has thrown his leader under a bus. There has even been talk […]
Local elections 2025: far-right runners and riders
Britain’s fastest growing far-right party Homeland, led by an ex-BNP organiser with a swastika tattoo on his chest but now advertising itself as the voice of “sensible nationalism” will have just four candidates nationwide at the local elections on 1 May. Party leader Kenny Smith has spent recent weeks in a series of online rows […]
Wars and culture wars fracture Britain’s far right
Britain’s fascists are tearing into each other with accusations of selling out and betrayal, and big problems are looming ahead of a high-profile conference next month. Searchlight is never surprised when far right leaders place personal ambitions and financial greed above their supposed principles. But the most recent name-calling between Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative and […]
