‘We’re ready!’ Inside the woke left’s 24-page plot to bring down ‘Far-Right’ Reform UK

The group distributed a 24-page pamphlet at its Sunday fringe event which labelled Farage “far-right”.

In the pamphlet penned by Hope Not Hate’s Georgie Laming, progressive activists were given instructions about how to take on Reform UK ahead of the 2029 General Election.

It said: “For 20 years, Hope Not Hate has been defeating the far-right at the ballot box and we are ready to do the same with Reform UK.

“Our campaigning is rooted in communities, identifying the people who are susceptible to the far-right and the issues that most impact them.

“In the coming months, our organisers will be working in key battleground areas to build local anti-fascist networks to combat Reform UK.

“We’ll be combining our grassroots tactics with a data-driven campaign. Hope Not Hate has recently conducted a 25,000 person poll and working with pollsters and the 2021 census have been able to estimate opinion on each of the 130 questions asked down to postcode level.

“This data combined with our grassroots campaigning means we can identify the key issues and messages that work to speak to voters and prevent them from voting for far-right parties like Reform UK.”

The pamphlet, which dedicated 1,000-words to a section describing Reform UK as “far-right”, added: “Reform UK’s policy platform is fundamentally anti-worker, indulges in climate change denial, is anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim and seeks to protect the wealthiest in society including landlords and bankers.”

Despite harsh words from Hope Not Hate, the British public’s response to Reform UK is significantly different.

The populist party received 4.1 million votes on July 4, returning five MPs to Westminster.

However, Reform UK is planning to build on its support and even sets sights on marching Farage to No10 in 2029.

Farage told cheering supporters at Reform UK’s annual conference: "We can win the next general election just with the numbers of people that agree with our principles."

Reform UK’s chairman Zia Yusuf is pushing ahead with measures to further democratise and modernise the populist party ahead of next year’s local elections.

The populist party has set up 266 constituency branches in just the last two months.

Farage lauded their creation as he hopes to alter Reform UK’s campaigning strategy to mimic the success of the Liberal Democrats in concentrating support and getting the vote out.

The Clacton MP also used his conference speech to distance himself from "bigots" and "extremists".

He said: “We don’t want extremists, we don’t want bigots, we don’t want people who think that way, because we represent the silent, decent majority of this great country."
