Very excited to be launching a report I've been working on looking at #growingthegrassroots.

Campaign strategy needs to think about where we organise, who we organise, and we need a new type of leadership - and make space for different approaches!
@forwardnotback I just want a government to govern. I’m so bored of the drama. If there was ANOTHER general election id be responding like Brenda from Bristol.
Earlier today Sainsbury’s sent me 1 yoghurt to replace a 4 pack and I’m still not over it! They weren’t for me because I hate white chocolate but still…. Why not send 4 miller corners?
A huge well done to @StephSpyro, @DannyVet, Born Free, and Freedom for Animals for this significant win. I was pleased to have helped in a small way too. Great news! 🐧🥳
Coincidentally every time there’s one of these Nazi marches, public transport in the city becomes full of coked up morons making a spectacle of themselves, actively intimidating non-white passengers as they pass by.
If you’re looking for no-go areas in London, look there first.
Don’t try and firebomb our synagogues, don’t try and firebomb prayers rooms or mosques, don’t try and firebomb churches…don’t be antisemitic, don’t be islamaphobic, just dont be a cunt
I love this! So clever and why I’m proud to give a small donation every month to this creative and courageous team. You could too: https://t.co/LItOG82YlB
🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨WE ARE TAKING OVER TOMMY'S CHANNELS
Right about now, tens of thousands of people are gathering in central London for Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom demonstration.
But they are not the only voices in central London right now.
At this very moment, @hopenothate is taking over their phones, their livestreams and their online news channels. We’re targeting the online spaces where Robinson’s supporters gather. We’re putting evidence in front of people before his network can control the narrative unchecked. And we’re showing people who Tommy Robinson really is: a far-right grifter who profits from division and fear.

Reflections on today. I think there were between 50,000-60,000 on the Unite the Kingdom demo, way down on last September’s event.
It also felt low energy. There was a buzz about September, probably because the size of it caught people by surprise. Expectations were higher now and the event didn’t really live up to it.
The banning of 11 overseas speakers had a real impact on the demo. It distracted the organisers in the final week and the calibre of those who filled their spots were poor.
Last September, Elon Musk both helped build the demo and spoke. His absence was noticeable this time.
More worryingly for Stephen Lennon, his supporters are beginning to see through his money making exercise. He’s admitted to receiving $300,000 from two people for the demo, plus the hundreds of thousands he raised from supporters. On top of that were all the merchandise, bucket collections etc..
He will claim millions - but he will be lying.
More importantly though, and unlike last September, we have stood up to his narrative of division and hate. Britain is a better place than Lennon portrays. He failed, we are stronger than him

Good morning everyone. It’s Saturday 16 May and Stephen Lennon - better known as Tommy Robinson - is holding his Unite the Kingdom demonstration in central London today. I will be reporting on it, giving some background and insight and reflecting on the political significance of it all.
Even got a few little surprises to report on during the day

@KatieCurtis I don’t get this at all.
He was on the Progress board.
He was in Blair’s cabinet.
He has careered around all of the place since but the idea that he is some sort of radical is for the birds.
I get that people’s politics can change/develop/evolve - but honestly!
