🛑 Nigel Farage should resign and face criminalinvestigation.
I do not often speak publicly about the riots of 2024, because my family still carries the scars of what happened afterwards. My son was followed by a far-right thug who threatened to burn and kill him, before smashing up our car when my husband arrived to protect him.

So it is not lost on me that Nigel Farage has escalated from suggesting, in the wake of Southport in 2024, that the truth was being hidden from the public, to now explicitly calling for “pure, cold rage” in 2026.

We know where this kind of rhetoric leads. Calls like that, alongside Tommy Robinson’s calls for people to gather outside police stations, have been followed by violent disorder in our communities.

Tuesday night in Southampton, 11 police officers were injured, people were reportedly arrested for offences including possession of weapons and assaulting police, property was damaged, cars were smashed, and communities were left frightened and distressed.

This is not responsible leadership. This is not justice for victims. This is the politics of rage, hate and division, and it has real consequences in communities like ours, and for families like mine.

Nigel Farage is a dangerous politician. He is dealing in a mendacious, hate-fuelled style of politics that puts ordinary people at risk.
He should resign.

Rioting in Southampton tonight.

My white dad died of prostate cancer.

1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer.

That’s twice the rate of white people.

This policy will save lives - and mean more NHS resources for others.

This opportunistic race baiting is disgusting.

This is what this scumbag said when Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE police officer.

Today, for the killing of Henry Novak by a Brown Sikh man, he calls the British public to "rage".

They tried to do a minute of silence for Henry Nowak outside Southampton police station

[Chantelle Lunt @chantelle_lunt]

As Nigel Farage calls on people to respond with “pure, cold rage” to the details emerging around the murder of Henry Nowak, and Tommy Robinson mobilises outside police stations, I would urge people to listen to the wishes of Henry’s family.

Wait, weren’t they defending statues in 2020?

As a Black Scouser and LFC supporter, I’m offended on every level.

You’ll Never Walk Alone has been sung at funerals, memorials, moments of tragedy and moments of unity across the world.

It’s a song about collective solidarity.

So it’s karma that the worst ever version of YNWA took place at the worst ever place it has ever been sung.

The whole premise of Yaxley Lennon’s march is opposed to the very meaning of YNWA.

Let’s never have a repeat, my soul cannot take it and nor can my ears.

"Next. Crucifixion?"

"Yes."

📚 I’ve spent my last few days as Mayor of Halewood delivering copies of Windrush Child to every school in Halewood.

It’s a powerful and moving book that helps children understand the story of the Windrush generation, their journeys, their contribution to Britain, and the...

A Black woman councillor should not be smeared, isolated and placed at risk because @reformparty_uk cannot tell protest from criminal incitement. APA stands with Cllr @chantelle_lunt Political disagreement is not a licence for racist harrasement.

.@Nigel_Farage your people are putting a young Black councillor in danger with deliberately false allegations.

They must retract and apologise immediately.

Solidarity with @chantelle_lunt.

[Cllr Chantelle Lunt @CllrLunt]

@Nigel_Farage Yet, your Knowsley Reform branch seems to think it’s ok to spread false and dangerous allegations about me, Nigel?

In the last few days we’ve seen a snide smear campaign to takedown @misanharriman. Now it seems an orchestrated disingenuous grabbing of pitchforks and torches is heading @chantelle_lunt’s way.

I don’t see coincidence here, I see a pattern… https://t.co/SmMd2FfT5d

[Cllr Chantelle Lunt @CllrLunt]

Reform UK Knowsley are currently circulating a statement falsely alleging that I made comments “inciting the m*rder of a Reform UK MP.”

This is a serious and dangerous lie, and one that has placed both me and my family at risk.

I asked Reform MP Sarah Pochin, several times, if the newly elected Sefton councillor, who is accused of Holocaust denial, would face disciplinary action, she refused to answer. I worry that she avoided the question because they aren’t planning to take any action.

[Cllr Chantelle Lunt @CllrLunt]

Farage seems wholly unaware that this isn’t a general election 🙄
Vote Green to keep Reform out of local councils.
