Great to see a big turn out on the Unity demo against the Far Right in Leeds today. More than 3k took to the streets after weeks of Far Right led mobilisations targeting refugee accommodation.

Remember when Gary Neville opened his hotel free of charge to NHS staff who needed somewhere to stay during the early stages of lockdown.

My takeaways from today:
Steve Bannon - no show
Jordan Peterson - no show
One million people - no show
What did happen:
- Violence
- Racist and bigoted speeches
- Fascist groups present
Biggest far right demo in British history, but nowhere near what Tommy had boasted. Usual suspects there and as night follows day, violence erupted
