Israel spent £50,000 lobbying Reform

Reform UK’s deputy leader said last week that a parliamentary debate into Israeli influence on British politics was “antisemitic in its very motivation and at its core”. “As such, we should utterly reject it,” argued Richard Tice to a room full of MPs. What he did not tell them, however, was that he had been on a trip to “the Gaza front line” last September funded by the newly-created Reform Friends of Israel, where he concluded that the Gaza famine was a “blatant lie”. And that trip is not the only example of pro-Israel pressure groups working with Reform. Just a…

Polling is consistently showing that Reform is losing its lead

Keir Starmer has resigned, and Andy Burnham is set to replace him. As we’ve reported previously, this has not led to a sudden reversal of Labour’s fortunes. As time goes on, however, we are starting to see Reform losing its lead: BREAKING | Labour surge in latest poll Ref: 24% ( –3 ) Lab: 21% ( +6 ) Grn: 15% ( –2 ) Con: 18% ( +1 ) Lib: 12% ( –1 ) Poll: @FindoutnowUK, 24-25 June––(+/– vs 17 June) pic.twitter.com/p4llFWk1CX — Stats for Lefties (@LeftieStats) June 25, 2026 Is this all down to Burnham?

Zia Yusuf has tried and failed to make the cut to stand for Reform leaving many wondering why

Zia Yusuf appeared on Question Time on Friday 26th doing his usual arrogant punditry attacking Andy Burnham and other political opponents and doing his best to suggest far-right Reform UK are the best hope for the UK. However, other panelists pointed out that Yusuf has yet to stand in an election for the party — and Yusuf’s response exposed the embarrassing fact that he has indeed tried to stand, he just can’t seem to be selected. Given Farage’s party has seen perverts and white supremacists elected, it leaves you wondering what skeletons are in Reform’s ‘home affairs’ spokesperson. Going further, it…

Despite this, Reform’s chairperson, Lee Anderson, had the brass neck to say the following: A Tale of Two Priorities.

Reform & Restore fight over who lost Makerfield worse

In the Makerfield by-election, the three parties of the right failed to win enough votes between them to match Labour’s result. Rather than reflecting on what this means, however, Reform UK and Restore Britain have decided to argue over who lost hardest: You got less than the BNP in 2010. You threw everything you had at it, day and night and got only 3000 votes. It was an unmitigated disaster. https://t.co/rSi63Fe6Sp — Rt Hon Nadine Dorries (@NadineDorries) June 19, 2026 Come on now, there’s no need to argue! You’re all losers, and that’s what matters.

Reform just tried (and failed) to get the Good Law Project’s suit against it thrown out

Today, 19 June, the High Court comprehensively ruled against Reform UK’s bid to throw out the Good Law Project’s (GLP) legal action against it. Back in 2024, before the general election, the GLP challenged all political parties to come clean about the data they held on members of the voting public. The action — backed by thousands of supporters — was part of the non-profit legal organisation’s #stoptargetingme campaign. Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) it’s a legal requirement for political parties to list and/or delete personal data when requested. And, with the GLP’s help, 1746 people did just…

Reform MPs show lack of humility yet again blaming Starmer for their own inability to win seat

Reform MP-hopeful Robert Kenyon lost in the Makerfield by-election by over 9,000 votes, which is likely to have left the far-right party feeling pretty sore. However, most who face such a defeat would look to where they didn’t hit the mark with voters — but not grievance-fueling Reform UK whose MPs and leader have come out blaming Starmer’s abysmal leadership for why they didn’t win enough votes to secure the seat. The bigoted party’s deputy leader came first, with Richard Tice telling the BBC that people who actually wanted to vote Reform wound up voting for Labour ‘because they had to’.…

On 16 June, we reported that two Reform councillors had posed for a picture which suggested they would vote for Jimmy Saville. In the aftermath, the party claimed the offending image was “AI”. Now, one of the councillors at fault has apologised, proving beyond doubt that the photo op did indeed take place: To all the Reform UK supporters that tried to defend Reform UK Councillors Gemma Painter and Lilian Rogers for standing with a sign saying ‘I’d rather vote for Jimmy Saville’, and @LeeAndersonMP_ who posted it was fake, then deleted the post.

Makerfield wasn’t the only by-election Reform UK just lost

In addition to losing in Makerfield, Reform UK lost the two seats it literally just won last month. Reform losses, Tory gains The 18 June by-elections in Essex took place because the Reform winner — you guessed it — turned out to be a racist mess. Stuart Prior had won both a County Council seat and a District Council seat in May. So both required new elections. Even before Reform snatched Essex from the Tories, there had already been reporting that Prior had shown support for the rape of Sikh women and called white people ‘the master race’. Along with vile Islamophobic…

Reform MP implies gross ‘get out of jail free’ card for abusers saying England losses to blame

Sarah Pochin, Reform MP for Runcorn and Helsby, has posted a sickening video on X which implies that domestic abuse ‘just happens’ when the England team loses a game. Given that Reform has a track record of platforming and promoting abusive men, Pochin’s comments appear less like a warning and more like an attempt to explain away behaviour that has absolutely no excuse. Thankfully, critics were quick to remind her of a pretty simple fact: domestic abuse is the responsibility of the male abuser — not the performance of football players. No football result — however disappointing — gives any man…

Unison gen-sec: Labour is ushering in fascist Reform UK

Andrea Egan, who took over in January as general secretary of Unison, has said that the Starmer government is ushering far-right Reform UK into power. The comments come as Unison’s annual conference begins today. Left-winger Egan ousted Christine McAnea in a vote of Unison members. McAnea had long been accused of prioritising the Labour right’s manoeuvres over the interests and democracy of Unison members. This week’s conference is Egan’s first in her new role. In an interview with the BBC’s Iain Watson, she said that the union had been a “sleeping giant” that had been “subservient” to Starmer’s Labour for far…

According to one Labour politician, a Reform MP said the following about Makerfield candidate Rob Kenyon: Chatting to a loose lipped Reform MP today who tells me that they've given up on Makerfield. "An absolute sh*t candidate and no real understanding of how to tackle a by-election". — Mike Reader MP (@mike_reader) June 13, 2026 On the one hand, Mike Reader would have every reason to lie about this. On the other, Reform MPs would have every reason to call Kenyon a “sh*t candidate”, because he is. “No real understanding” What is it that makes Kenyon such a bad candidate? Firstly,…

Reform suffers self-inflicted Senedd defeat over childcare

Remarkable things have been occurring in the Senedd — as highlighted by independent journalist Will Hayward, 11 Welsh Reform ministers apparently voted to back an amendment criticising their own party. The original motion under debate was proposed by Dan Thomas, the leader of Reform’s Senedd branch. It called on the Welsh government: to publish the full costings and timetable for the introduction of their childcare offer within their first 100 days in government. Plaid Cymru claim that, once implemented, their plan will see every child aged 9 months to 4 years receive 20 hours of fully funded childcare per week, for…

On the same day that the UK dealt with the aftermath of white riots targeting people of colour, Reform UK reinstated the councillor who suggested ‘melting Nigerians to fill potholes‘. It’s a sign that the party doesn’t take racial justice seriously. Worse than that, it’s a sign that the party is actively pursuing an agenda of racial injustice.

Unions respond: “Reform are no friends of working people”

Reform — The trade unions have hit back against Farage’s recent pitiful appeal to try to bring the UK labour movement over to the far-right. Quite unsurprisingly, they’ve seen through his ridiculous claim that: Reform is now the party of workers. Farage also invited unions to apply for affiliation, and welcomed union leadership to attend the party conference. However, those same leaders have now told him where to shove it in reply. ‘Let’s be crystal clear’ On 8 June, the Times published an interview with Nigel Farage, trying to lure trade unions into affiliation with Reform UK. The fascist rag highlighted…
