Hundreds of English "patriots", far right activists and football hooligans will be descending on Whitehall this afternoon to celebrate St George's Day at an event organised by Tommy Robinson and his merry crew. Follow me and

The nazi National Front (whose leaders have denied the Holocaust and believe the U.K. should not have fought Hitler in WW2) march passed the Cenotaph without a peep of condemnation from our political leaders….
BREAKING NEWS! I'm delighted to announce the

has won its legal case against Nigel Farage. He has withdrawn his statement that we are violent and undemocratic and promised not to repeat it.

Five women have gone on record to claim that Russell Brand is guilty of rape and sexual assault. But even before these claims were made public, Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate and Laurence Fox leapt to his defence claiming Brand was being set up by the state. These men are scumbags
I’m delighted to say the
@channel5_tv
have now changed their programming for tonight and nazi Nikki Shaw will not be telling us about the London floods of 1928… Well done
@hopenothate
and all our supporters 👏👏👏
This is one of those moment when little Englander anti-foreigner rhetoric sinks an economy. £38,000 minimum salary and no dependents will mean huge swathes of our NHS, social care and hospitality businesses have staff shortages…
Some hooligans are furious at Tommy Robinson, others pointing the finger at him. He led the group to Chinatown and then fled in a taxi. Moments later the riot police turned up....
#interesting
Some final reflections on today: The far right came, they protested and they fought everyone they could. What we saw today was sadly predictable. I hope the
@metpoliceuk
look through their footage and arrest those behind the violence 1/11
Every MP who voted to deport victims of modern slavery to Rwanda should not be allowed to forget their disgraceful choice in the upcoming General Election. Shame on them
BREAKING: The House of Commons votes by 320 to 246 to overturn an amendment which would have stopped victims of modern slavery from being deported to Rwanda
So let’s get this right. On top of £9,000 a month salary and £30,000 a month in media fees,
@Nigel_Farage
also got an additional £450,000 from Arron Banks for house, car and driver. And he has the audacity to claim he’s a man of the people
BREAKING: The last BNP councillor in office isn’t standing for re-election. It’s been clear the BNP was finished for a while, but now it’s official - and it’s thanks to the work of anti-racists across Britain.
UKIP leader Gerald Batten poses with London (and England) UDA commander Frank Portinari - a convicted terrorist and gunrunner. So the next time Batten bangs on about Muslim terrorists just remember this picture
I’m sorry, but Labour can’t have it both ways on the deal. They cannot say that the Tories will be held responsible for “the consequences of it” but then vote for it. If the deal is good, you vote for it. If the deal is bad, then you vote against or abstain. It’s quite simple
Today, Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) failed in his attempt to overturn a Stalking Prevention Order, issued against him in 2021 after he harassed a national newspaper journalist. He’s now bleating that he was robbed of justice, so I thought I would set out some facts 1/9
🚨BREAKING NEWS: A few minutes ago Marco Gill, a Tommy Robinson and Britain First supporter, was jailed for four years for harassing me, sending bomb threats to hotels housing asylum seekers and buying a gun from the US.
If the
@Conservatives
don’t remove the whip from Lee Anderson then they are condoning Islamophobia and deserve the contempt and disgust of every decent person in this country
Conservative MP Lee Anderson tells GB News that he thinks Sadiq Khan has "given our capital city away" to Islamists, who are "his mates".
"Islamists have got control of Khan and they’ve got control of London," he says.

@hopenothate
👉 The National Front, for so long led by Holocaust deniers, antisemites and racists, lay a wreath at the Cenotaph today. They once marched under the banner of “No More Brothers War”. This is the true defiling of Remembrance Sunday
Sunday Times front page:
“Britain is preparing to declare a state of emergency and introduce martial law in the event of disorder after a no-deal Brexit...”
How can any responsible Government even contemplate a No Deal Brexit?
@AmberRuddHR
you know what you have to do
This am I was confronted my Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) outside my house. He's clearly rattled by the expose that's coming. If he thinks he can intimidate or threaten me into silence, he is badly mistaken. His bully boy tactics only makes me more determined
#nopasaran
So let's just think about this. Tommy Robinson winds up his supporters to turn out today. His team are at the very front when the police line is broken near the Cenotaph. He then marches people up to Chinatown, before fleeing in a taxi - leaving behind his supporters to fight
Tommy Robinson has just jumped in a black cab and left the area. This group of supporters looked on bemused, some angry. Police moving in and appear to be keetling group
An even more graphic video (posted on hooligan chat) of the far right breaking through police lines. Tommy Robinson’s key lieutenants right at the front. Police try to hold line but overwhelmed by numbers
An incredible 78,000 people might have died of Coronavirus in the US, but the death rate in Britain per million people is twice as high as the US. A pretty poor indictment of how we have handled the pandemic
Calvin Robinson joins a growing number of far right (and radical right) commentators who don’t believe a non-white person can be British citizens. In the old days we called this out for what it is - racism
There’s an elephant in the room here… the counter-protests that you mention in passing are racists, fascists and football hooligans, partly whipped up by your incendiary rhetoric over the past 10 days. Especially your claim that the Cenotaph was under threat - which it wasn’t 🐘
Our brave police officers deserve the thanks of every decent citizen for their professionalism in the face of violence and aggression from protesters and counter protesters in London yesterday. That multiple officers were injured doing their duty is an outrage. 1/3
Lennon is a vile bully who tries to pre-empt expose by threatening and intimidating his opponents and journalists. By having his appeal thrown out, it now makes it harder for Lennon to stalk, bully and intimidate others. A good day for justice 🥳9/9
Nikki ‘Nazi’ Shaw, historian, racist and Hitler lover. She was due to appear on a

programme last night about the London floods in 1928. Wisely, the corporation has decided to pause broadcast (and probably exit her out) 1/2
.
@hopenothate
The moment far right thugs broke through (very thin) police lines. How was this allowed to happen? When people call out hate marches - this is it!
Depressing to see Stephen Yaxley Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) on the pro-Israeli demo in London today. Just as we called out antisemites on the pro-Palestinian demo yesterday, so we need to call out Islamophobes on today’s pro-Israel demo
As we begin to wrap up coverage for the day, I want to send massive thanks to the
@hopenothate
team who have been working today, especially those who have been on the ground and even inside the far right groups at great personal risk. Hope we've been of service to everyone today
As expected, Tommy Robinson has sent out a begging email asking for money. “What happened to Tommy on Saturday, in front of his family, was outrageous,” it reads.
No. He consciously breached a court order to stay out of London and so got arrested. He’s only himself to blame
Absolutely horrendous comments by Douglas Murray. These are the sentiments that lead to the indiscriminate targeting (and much worse) of innocent civilians. Murray is a dangerous extremist
"I treat the Palestinians in Gaza in the same way I would treat any other group that produced a horror like that. They're responsible for their actions."

@BBCNews
might have bottled it, but
@hopenothate
will continue to call Reform U.K. and Nigel Farage ‘far right’. We always have, we always will.
Dedicating my life to silence Tommy Robinson is a bit of a stretch, but I’ll plead guilty as charged for pushing to imprison him.
And, what’s better, I’m very likely to be successful 🎉🥳
You can hate Israel and what it’s Government is doing as much as you want, but suggesting it is a Nazi state is both wrong and highly offensive. There should be no place for placards like this on any demo
This is outrageous and very dangerous. After all the discussion about threats to MPs, Lee Anderson not only lies but literally puts a target on
@SadiqKhan
. Racists will run with this. He should withdraw this comment,
@GBNEWS
apologise and
@Conservatives
must disown him
Conservative MP Lee Anderson tells GB News that he thinks Sadiq Khan has "given our capital city away" to Islamists, who are "his mates".
"Islamists have got control of Khan and they’ve got control of London," he says.
Until 10 days ago, the hooligan world was not interested in the Israel/Palestine conflict. Then
@SuellaBraverman
and some newspapers began talking about the threat to the Cenotaph, despite full knowledge that the pro-Palestine demo was going nowhere near it 2/11
It is possible to hate Hamas, but want an end to the slaughter of civilians in Gaza. It’s possible to support Israel’s right to exist (and defend itself), but oppose Netanyahu and how he’s going about it
For those in central London today, please be care. Football hooligan gangs and far right activists are still planning to descend on the capital despite
#BLMUK
very courageously deciding not to protest in London today
The European Chemicals Agency has issued a notice saying that as the UK is now out of the EU it can no longer employ UK nationals. Welcome to the new world order
And so it begins.... prepare for a steady stream of anti-Chinese rhetoric coming from Government politicians as they try to deflect from any criticism of their own handling of the
#coronavirus
crisis. This will lead to an upsurge in attacks and abuse on the UK’s Chinese community
The Home Secretary has a responsibility to prevent a fallout from international events here. Unfortunately, her behaviour in recent weeks has been the opposite. She has inflamed tensions and encouraged the far right into a violent frenzy. She’s got to go
About 200 far right protesters are heading for Vauxhall Bridge Road in an attempt to confront pro-Palestinian supporters. This is getting highly dangerous
Really saddened to hear of the death of Dave Myers. In 2007, Dave drove up from London to join a

@DailyMirror
food festival in Manchester. He turned up, unannounced, because he wanted to make a stand against racism. A really great man
#RIPDaveMyers
Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) has been ordered to appear at the High Court where a Judge will determine whether he is in contempt for his non-appearance at the Royal Court of Justice today. If found guilty, Lennon is likely to be sent to prison 1/12
Nothing like the far right to declare a terrorist attack when there wasn’t one. Met police confirmed incident was two people fighting on Westminster Bridge
Very depressing to see Sajid Javid refusing to rule out a deal with Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party. For a man who showed genuine concern about Islamophobia within his own party, it’s sad to see him turn a blind eye to the bigotry of the Brexit Party
It’s Saturday 11 November, Armistice Day. At 1.45pm, a pro-Palestine demo will leave from Hyde Park and make its way to the US Embassy in Battersea. March organisers expect it to be the largest yet, claiming 500,000 are expected. The demo is avoiding Whitehall and the Cenotaph 🧵
The Conservatives are stoking the flames of hatred in the most horrendous and cynical way. The country is falling apart and they are whipping up a moral panic to divert attention from the real problems people face. Reprehensible
We must be honest with ourselves: we have a serious problem with Islamist extremism.
How do we cure this sickness and build a united country?
It starts by consigning the disastrous experiment of mass migration to history.
My article in the Mail on Sunday on the cure👇
At a time when the
@JewishChron
asks non-Jews to appreciate the fears of the Jewish community, it then publishes as disgusting piece denying the right of Muslims to fear hatred against themselves. Sorry
@stephenpollard
this is just not on
The Metropolitan Police used its powers to ban pro-Palestinian marchers, but not Cenotaph "defenders" and far right groups, from Whitehall today
When asked why, the senior officer in charge of the operation said he thought they would "not cause serious disorder by themselves"
Today’s record migration stats show we’ve let in an extra million people in just 2 years, a population equivalent to Birmingham. The pressure on housing, the NHS, schools, wages, and community cohesion, is unsustainable. When do we say: enough is enough? 1/3
Everyone, please retweet. Let’s make sure everyone in
#Liverpool
hears this: “Why would I want to be from Liverpool? It’s a shithole” says key
#TommyRobinson
campaign aide James Goddard.
It is quite depressing when, in a desperate quest for votes, a leading Government minister backs Donald Trump in retweeting a far right racist. For a wannabe Prime Minister to support a tweet calling London "Londonistan" makes them unfit for office
So Labour remains committed to delivering a “good” Brexit deal. Our latest 5,000+ poll finds just 11% of Labour voters back its preferred Customs union Brexit deal. 63% of Labour voters want Brexit to be stopped and reversed
Police have lost control. Far right thugs are swarming around Whitehall, climbing up on fencing and bollards. Sixteen minutes to 11am on Armistice Day. Absolute disgrace
There are still groups of hooligans around Westminster and Parliament Square. Chants of "Allah is a paedo" can clearly be heard. Be careful everyone. Please get home safe x
The more I think about Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘Zionist irony’ comments the angrier I become. If this language was used about any other minority group there would be - rightly -uproar.
Nikki Shaw has written three books about grisly murders in Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian London. In her spare time she mixes with leading Combat 18 and Blood and Honour thugs 2/8
Oh my. 70% of the Rwandan houses earmarked for asylum seekers sent from Britain - and presumably paid for by the British taxpayer - have been sold to locals,

Been doing a bit of digging into Stephen Lennon’s (AKA Tommy Robinson) latest legal issues and there is an absolute fraud going on here. In an email sent to supporters late last night he asked supporters to help him raise £3,798 towards his latest legal bill 1/5
@FraserNelson
has allowed a disgusting racist and Islamophobic rant to be published in
@spectator
. As editor he is responsible and must be held accountable. Maybe it’s time to ask the magazine’s advertisers if they back Liddle’s racism?
Yet more far right violence. Five hours after the first bout of disorder, far right hooligans are still causing trouble. Follow
@hopenothate
for more info
Tommy Robinson supporters are climbing over fences and police appear to be losing control. We are approaching 11am on Armistice Day and the far right is causing trouble
This kind of disgusting antisemitism on the streets of London is outrageous and only undermines the Palestinian cause. Emotions are running high about what's happening in Israel and Gaza right now, but blaming and targeting British Jews and Muslims is totally unacceptable.
In an effort to hide her politics, Shaw has a Facebook account in the name of Bunty McBint. Among her friends are key C18 leaders Will Browning, Nick Field and Karen Henderson. 3/8
Braverman has inflamed tensions and, as we have seen today, whipped up the far right into a violent frenzy. That’s why she has to go. If you agree, then sign our petition 9/11
For five hours the far right and hooligans battled with police in an attempt to attack the pro-Palestine demo. While I was surprised with the light touch policing at the beginning of the day, I have to say that the
@metpoliceuk
did a good job in reigning in the thugs 5/11
Wow. Key Boris Johnson backer, Lord Cruddas of Shoreditch, retweets an anti-migrant and racist message from well-known British fascist leader Mark Collett.
@Conservatives
will you take action?
💥 While we’re seeing the Conservatives echoing far-right language on migration, we’re also seeing examples of figures engaging with far-right organisations.
Here, Conservative Lord Cruddas RTs the leader of the fascist Patriotic Alternative, now banned from Twitter.
Robinson might have jumped in a taxi at the first hint of trouble, to save himself of course, but he needs to be held accountable for the actions of his supporters 4/11
Hilarious. Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) has just told the crowd “we voted for.....” but of course he didn’t bother voting in the referendum. Clearly he didn’t think there was any money in it
The Government will later this week set out a new definition of extremism. How are we supposed to take them seriously when they are unable to call out Islamophobia and racism when it’s staring them in the face 🤷🏻
Her Facebook page is riddled with vile racism and dehumanising language. She denounces people as “race-mixers”, “c**ns”, “monkey” and “black c***”. 5/8
Israel is literally - and quite consciously - starving a population. The international community cannot sit back and allow this to happen 👉 Israel will no longer approve Unrwa food aid to north, agency says
This is one of the most appalling things I have read in a long time. A Labour Party member calling fellow members to march on a synagogue to protest against someone being suspended from the Labour Party. I can’t believe I’m reading this!
@UKLabour
how will you respond to this?
