When Claire Walsh, the organiser of the much-vaunted and much-hyped Manchester Protest, aka National Strike, disappears off to Dover for the main national event you know something is wrong. And today’s shambolic, utterly pathetic “rally” at St Peter’s Square, in Manchester, drew considerable ire from passers-by. If you’d blinked you might have missed it but […]

No rain, but far-right Dover ‘National Protest’ is still a washout
Although the promised south coast thunderstorms didn’t materialise, the Great British National Protest on Dover beach today turned out to be a totally damp squib. Organiser and ex-squaddie Richard Donaldson had forecast that millions would attend – though he did prudently scale down his expected numbers from 16 to 9 million. In the event around […]
Nick Tenconi’s US mates join Epstein child abuse cover-up
The American parent organisation of Nick Tenconi’s Turning Point UK has caved in to pressure from President Trump and dropped demands for the release of the notorious Jeffrey Epstein paedophile ‘client list’. Despite loudly calling for the release of the list until last weekend, Turning Point USA founder and leader Charlie Kirk has now surrendered […]
Tommy Robinson on his sunbed again – in £10k a week Portuguese resort
Tommy Robinson’s supporters need to get their wallets out. There’s almost certainly another appeal for funds on its way for the lad’s ‘legal fund’. Because Tommy’s on his sunbed again, and this time he’s at a £10k a week Portuguese resort. Tommy – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – flew out of the UK on 9 […]
Labin 1921: miners lead Europe’s first anti-fascist revolt
The Labin Uprising of 1921, often heralded as the first anti-fascist revolt and workers’ republic in Europe, is a landmark in miners’ history. Taking place in the Istrian town of Labin, now Croatia, then under Italian rule, this often-overlooked miners’ uprising showcased the power of workers’ solidarity and foreshadowed the anti-fascist struggles that would engulf […]
Reform UK election candidate attends neo-nazi Summer camp
Searchlight can reveal that a Reform UK election candidate is actively involved with a neo-Nazi organisation. One of their most prominent county council candidates recently attended a Summer camp in Lancashire run by Patriotic Alternative. In this year’s Lancashire County Council election, Portuguese businessman Joe Custodio was Reform candidate for Preston North West. But a […]
White Vanguard nazi is prominent Reform activist
Meet Kai Cunningham. He’s a law student whose LinkedIn profile says he wants to develop his public speaking skills. So he practises at every opportunity. The first photo shows him addressing a Reform UK party East London branch meeting in Rainham, Kent. The second shows him, as a leader of the neo-Nazi White Vanguard, delivering […]
Gloves off, balaclavas on in nazi ‘informants’ feud
Well, you can’t deny that when nazis fall out, it really can be quite entertaining. The latest online spat is between National Rebirth Party boss Alek Yerbury – he of the Hitler moustache and 1930s apparel – and White Vanguard, a micro-group of deranged kinder-nazis, who made quite a scene at a recent Britain First […]
Outrage in Northern Ireland as loyalists plan bonfire of migrant effigies
Outrage in Northern Ireland. When the Democratic Unionist Party says something is extreme, you know it’s really extreme. Not known for its moderation, in its relationship with the Catholic community in Northern Ireland, or for its views on immigration or lgbtq rights, the DUP has spoken out against a disgusting effigy of refugees in a […]
‘Tommy Robinson’ hints at link up with Habib’s Advance UK
Well, that didn’t take long. Only a few days ago we suggested that Tommy Robinson had given up the idea of a hook up with UKIP and might be seeking to link up with Ben Habib’s Advance UK instead. And today Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – has signalled that this might indeed be […]
UK bans far-right Russian terror group
The controversy surrounding the UK government’s recent ban on Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 has tended to obscure the act that a far-right Russian organisation, the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM), was banned at the same time. Once considered a fringe nationalist group, RIM has become an international hub for training and radicalizing far-right […]
Mark Collett – Putin’s nazi propagandist
Last weekend, Patriotic Alternative’s führer Mark Collett again took on the role of Moscow propagandist, hosting Evgeniy (Eugene), a spokesman for the Russian Brotherhood of Academists. A fortnight previously this Russian student “Brotherhood” broadcast an interview with Elon Musk’s racist father Errol, who is touring Russia spouting Putin’s propaganda for the benefit of the international […]
Top ‘Tommy Robinson’ organiser joins Ben Habib’s Advance UK
One of Tommy Robinson’s main organisers, Richard Inman, has publicly joined up with Ben Habib’s new Advance UK party, abandoning UKIP where he was a member of the NEC. Inman has been at Robinson’s side since the days of the Football Lads Alliance, which hoovered up the remnants of Robinson’s English Defence League. Thrown out […]
Homeland Party – are the wheels coming off?
It’s becoming a summer of discontent for all three contenders for the führership of British nazism. Alek Yerbury is well ahead of all competitors in the Hitler-lookalike contest, but as we recently reported, his admission that Searchlight is 99% correct about corruption on the far right hasn’t made him many friends. Long before Yerbury changed […]
Tommy Robinson on holiday with Southport riot instigator
Ever since we reported on Tommy Robinson’s various post-prison vacations, people have been asking who he is actually enjoying his holidays with. Well, now we know. His Tenerife holiday companion is Danny Tommo, aka Daniel Thomas, a man who more than anyone was responsible for inciting last August’s Southport riots. Over the last few days […]
Apology and correction
Last Sunday (22 June) we ran an article about right-wing photographers who were taking pictures of people attending left-wing or anti-fascist demonstrations. Two of those pictured, including the person captioned number 2, have contacted us to say they have no involvement with the far right. Others have contacted us on their behalf. We are happy […]
‘Searchlight is 99% right’ nazi leader tells British fascists
In a post that will infuriate many on the far right – not least of all Searchlight’s legion of online detractors – nazi party boss Alek Yerbury has publicly declared that allegations of corruption and criminality made against the far right by anti-fascists are ‘99% right’. Yerbury is already known for his blunt attacks on […]
Threats and hate at Dublin anti-migrant rally
A sea of Make Ireland Great Again hats could be seen at a far-right rally in Dublin yesterday, where threats were made against their opponents and a former loyalist terrorist was welcomed. Coming on the heels of a similar rally in Cork two weeks ago, it attracted roughly 2,500 protestors. Unhappy with Ireland’s immigration and […]
‘Wrecked’ Tommy Robinson sunning himself in Tenerife
“I came out of prison all guns blazing after 7 months in solitary and in all honesty it’s hit me & I feel wrecked”. So says Tommy ‘Ten Names’ Robinson, aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Oh dear. So that recent trip to the Bahamas – without the family – has really done for him. It’s left him […]
Nott wanted – Tenconi’s UKIP outed and routed in Nottingham
The ghost of Robin Hood, who stole from the rich, gave to the poor and would assuredly have had little time for the miserable Nick Tenconi, haunted the 50 or so neo-fascist losers who turned up in Nottingham today to waste hundreds of thousands of pounds of tax payers money. They were massively outnumbered by […]
