Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party has withdrawn support from its candidate in Glenrothes after he made multiple disgusting homophobic comments, including declaring “war” on the LGBTQ community. But who are the other candidates Farage is yet to disown? <THREAD>

David Ballantine, Brexit Party rep in Edinburgh SW, labelled Islam a “child rapist death cult” and a “theocratically fascist system of governance”, and made supportive comments about far-right thug Stephen Lennon. He still has Farage's support.

HOPE not hate
@hopenothate
The report in today’s Mail on Sunday that a Labour Election candidate organised and ran a secret Facebook group which advises party members, including alleged Holocaust deniers, how to beat charges of antisemitism is deeply disturbing dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
According to the report, Maria Carroll, who is standing in Camarthen East and Dinefwr, co-founded and administered the secret Facebook group which instructed Labour Party members accused of antisemitism on how to avoid expulsion.
Among those who joined the group are members who cast doubt on the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis and others who repeated the antisemitic trope that there is an international ‘Jewish conspiracy’ controlling politics, the economy and the media.

HOPE not hate
@hopenothate
The “Labour Against the Witchhunt” group held a rally outside Labour conference this evening. Attendees were asked to rendezvous outside a Ben and Jerry’s before being walked to the secret venue. We attended as part of our work to track antisemitism on the left.
Ken Livingstone, who was suspended over disgraceful comments about Zionism and Hitler, talked about Hitler in his remarks. He said, "There has been an increase in antisemitism because all this media attention on it has led to real antisemites attacking people".
Asa Winstanley, suspended by Labour over his antisemitism, doubled down, and attacked the party for adopting the IHRA definition, calling it “the bogus IHRA definition of antisemitism".

HOPE not hate
@hopenothate
WE DID IT!!! We stopped "Tommy Robinson" from becoming an MEP! 🎉
THANK YOU to everyone who voted and took a stand against Robinson's hateful and divisive rhetoric. #EuropeanElectionResults a photo of tommy robinson with his face scribbled out. underneath text says
When we began this campaign, we based it on the knowledge that it was completely possible to stop 'Robinson' from becoming an MEP, but we needed to get people out to vote.

We delivered 360,000 leaflets to households in the North West who we knew were anti-hate.
We also invested heavily in digital advertising, which saw 2.4m people seeing our targeted digital advertising over the course of the election.

All of this was possible because of more than 1000 donations made by HOPE not hate supporters to our campaign to stop Tommy.

1) Brexit party "democracy"
Just spoke to my partner who is pretty switched on and she didn't know that Farage was #Brexit Party leader for life, and has designed the Brexit Party Ltd so that he cannot, ever be voted out

If she doesn't know, 85% of the country doesn't know
2) #Brexit Party are coming out of the woodwork again shouting about "democracy"
@LibDems, @theSNP, @UKLabour, @peoplesvote_uk please consider getting on this

No members
No manifesto
No way to vote on Policy
No way to vote Farage out
All by design
Least democratic org in the UK
3) you can shut down these agitators easily
"Why should I take lessons in democracy from a party with a leader for life?"
"How do I join the Brexit party?Oh I can't can i,I can only give you money?"
"There were other parties in Europe had a leader for life, it didn't end well"

‼️Nigel Farage & TeamTrump

#Brexit2016Elex Thread 2

Nigel Farage has done more than any politician in a generation to yank British politics to the hard, nationalist right.

He is one of the most dangerous demagogues Britain has ever seen.

Taking place against the backdrop of a rise in support for far-right and nationalist parties at the national level in recent years, the election has been largely portrayed as a battle between the pro-European establishment and its Eurosceptic challengers. aljazeera.com/news/2019/05/e…
"Right-wing" nationalists who want to slash immigration into Europe & return power to national gvmts are expected to make gains, though mainstream parties are tipped to hold onto power in the 751-seat legislature that sits in both Brussels & Strasbourg. aljazeera.com/news/2019/05/e…

Stop Funding Fake News
@SFFakeNews
THREAD: 1/ Fake news website Westmonster, co-founded by Aaron Banks, is now effectively a propaganda channel for Nigel Farage’s #Brexit Party. Organisations advertising on the site are helping to fund this output supporting the party’s campaign #SFFN
2/ Editor & co-founder of Westmonster, Michael Heaver, is standing for the Brexit Party in the European parliamentary elections. In the article announcing his candidacy, there was no mention of Heaver stepping away from the website for the campaign period. #SFFN
3/ We’re not here to comment on the suitability of someone who runs a fake news website to be an elected parliamentarian, but voters might be interested to know about the company Heaver keeps #SFFN

The debate around @JoyAnnReid and any views she once held and then blogged about is deeply troubling to me, and for some reason, deeply personal.

First, most whole human beings, every single one of us, have held views in our past that today we would be embarrassed by.

Fact.

1/
A decade & more ago, blogs, for those who read them & those who wrote them (I was both) hardly felt like permanent records.

I know that seems silly now, but this truly is a different world than it was then.

And that world was even more different than the ten before that.

2/
It is only in the last five years that we've begun to understand what these new technologies and modes of communications mean to our lives, and the implications are still being revealed on a daily basis.

Tread carefully these paths we must lest they open to swallow us all.
