Farage forced onto the defensive as anti-racists step up campaign

So it’s all change at number 10 & Nigel Farage and Reform UK are slipping in the polls.

This could and should be the moment to end the scapegoating of refugees & migrants by government – a policy Starmer & Mahmood clearly believed would undercut Reform – and did the opposite.

The far right from Nigel Farage to Rupert Lowe and fascist Tommy Robinson have been given confidence and legitimacy by policies that pinned the blame for Britain’s policies on those arriving in small boats, not those dodging their taxes from luxury yachts.

If Andy Burnham is to break Reform’s momentum for good then he needs to ditch the idea of going along with divide & rule & start building unity.

Farage & Reform are mired in sleaze & corruption – the Clacton by-election gamble could truly back fire.

We want to make sure that in Clacton & Greater Manchester mayor’s race as many people as possible don’t cast their vote for this far right party.

We’ve been out campaigning across Greater Manchester and in Clacton, but we need your help.

  
Breaking Reform means stopping it from turning social crisis into racist politics. It means building an organised anti-racist presence that does not disappear when an election is over.

Volunteer to take the fight to Clacton

Oxfordshire Stand Up To Racism continues to campaign Bicester against the racist scapegoating of refugees and calling for an end to the governments plan to put people seeking asylum into mass inhumane camps.  This is  paying off as more people get involved with the campaign to counter the racist demonising of refugees and migrants that is being pushed by some of the vocal opposition to the camp that Reform UK has been trying to lead.

The Reform dominated anti-camp campaign could only manage a smaller protest this week and the organisers appear to be retreating under pressure from Stand Up To Racism's calling on people to reject the racist scapegoating at the hear tof their campaign as the organisers called for no political banners (essentially the Reform ones as no-other political party supported those pushing the racist line against the camp) and for no racist placards.

Help us to keep up the pressure and build a stronger anti-racist current in Bicester that can also drive back Reform. we are organising regular activity and welcome more support.

Volunteer to help the "Refugees welcome - communities not camps - stop the far right" campaign in Bicester.
 

Oxfordshire Women Against the Far Right is supporting the Oxford Women March  organised by Oxford Intersectional Uprising. Join us to march in solidarity with all oppressed women. Assemble 6pm Bonn Square finishing at The Nest for speeches.

The far right are using women's safety as a weapon to spread racism and division. They are not defenders of women, they exploit violence against women and children in order to peddle hatred and division. It is important we can stand with all survivors and victims of abuse, while building unity against the far right and exposing their racist lies and scapegoating. 

Reform UK have made no secret about wanting to repeal hard won equal rights for women, as Trump has done in the US.

We urge all supporters of Women Against the Far Right to join our delegation in solidarity with all oppressed women  
 

Join Love Music Hate Racism at Notting Hill Carnival 2026

August 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of Notting Hill Carnival, taking place on 30–31 August. Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) is partnering with the National Education Union (NEU), UNISON and Hotwax to party with a purpose and promote our antiracist message.

The 2026 float theme, "Road Make To Walk", commemorates the struggle to keep Carnival on the streets of Notting Hill in August 1976. Fifty years ago, members of the Caribbean community successfully resisted attempts by the police, local authorities and a small number of residents to move Carnival away from its home.

Come dance, celebrate and stand together with us as we honour the legacy of those who fought to keep Carnival alive.

SIGN UP

Ticket includes a special edition LMHR carnival t-shirt and refreshments throughout the parade.

Organise Together: London Summit

On 28 March, half a million people marched together against the far right

We’ve shown the country that the politics of hate do not speak for all of us. 

But the local election results and the recent pogroms and racist riots in Belfast, Glasgow and Southampton are a wake-up call that our work is nowhere near done. Across the country, the far right is growing louder and more organised.

Those who push a message of racism and hate are getting more confident – and we will not stand back and watch it happen.

On Saturday 24 October, thousands of people will gather in London to organise, collaborate, and build the future together as part of two summits – North and South.

A space for organisers, campaigners, trade unionists, activists, creatives, educators, community leaders and local people to organise, collaborate and share strategies about how we stop the far right.

This is not a conference for people who sit back and listen.

It is a summit to build power and plan action.

Help us plan, organise and build together against the far right in local communities across the country.

Save the date and book your place.  

Book seats on the Oxfordshire transport
