What’s clear is that fascist Robinson’s turn out was massively down on September 2025 (we reckon 35k after detailed counts).

It shows we can halt the far right’s momentum.

But we need organisation & unity initiatives everywhere to stop them.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

I was proud to march with hundreds of thousands in London today for Palestine and against the far-right.

In the labour movement, we know an injury to one is an injury to all. And we reject the racist logic that says some lives are worth more than others ✊🇵🇸

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

Samira Ali speaking for Women Against the Far Right on Saturday’s fantastic demo opposing fascist Tommy Robinson & in solidarity with Palestine.

The far right claim to be ‘defending women’ but their misogynistic movement is the real threat.

Birmingham City University urged not to axe Black Studies MA and target 5 Black members of staff for redundancy. “In the US there is an attack on Black intellectual thought, in the UK there is so little in higher ed that the problem is erasure" https://t.co/nLpUu1vEB3

On this day in 1978 100,000 were at a Carnival Against the Nazis in Victoria Park, East London. The following week New Musical Express had a double spread of pictures. Its print circulation was 300,000 copies

On 30 April 1978, the Anti-Nazi League and Rock Against Racism pulled off something that British anti-fascism had never managed before: a mass popular mobilisation that was also, undeniably, a fantastic day out.
