Are we winning the battle against extremism? Or are we losing it? That's the BIG question posed by the new @hopenothate magazine, out later this week.
hopenothate.org.uk/magazine/extre… It's the latest in the revamped editions of @hopenothate magazine, each one asking major themed 'questions' (fear & lies during the pandemic, post-Brexit Britain, and climate scepticism & denial meets the far right) 👇

Interesting arguments here from @hurrayforfacts of @ONECampaign about the need for ‘public’ company registers globally 🌎

I agree. But as he writes, they "are only as valuable as the quality of information they contain” – systems like the UK are weak.

fcpablog.com/2020/01/23/pub… @hurrayforfacts @ONECampaign Good to see @FCPA publishing more debate like this, especially on the day @anticorruption puts out its new corruption perceptions report, showing things stagnating or getting worse in 2/3 of world

Another area I visited for @hopenothate's magazine recently was Mansfield, the 25th most deprived area in England.

Which kinda makes today’s announcement of a new towns project by @Rosiecarte
and @centrefortowns very apt.

I go to bed and wake up to ANOTHER revelation from @hopenothate about Nigel Farage – this time multiple appearances on an antisemitic US online show.

The host, Rick Wiles, talks about Jewis cabals, a Bolshevik revolution, how Jews kill millions of Christians, etc. Appalling 😱🤬 @hopenothate More on this story from @peterwalker99 over in @guardian

“The way in which the leadership has dealt with anti-Jewish racism is incompatible with the British values of which we are so proud — of dignity and respect for all people.”

⁦Labour facing questions over antisemitism; Tories on Islamophobia 😕 thetimes.co.uk/article/ephrai… Staggeringly a third of all voters think @UKLabour is an antisemitic party (@hopenothate polling): that’s not good hopenothate.org.uk/2019/07/13/lab…

It’s heartbreaking to see indigenous peoples suffer and the Amazon being turned over to (often illegal) profit while the rainforests are burned and cleared 🔥

Britain will fare worse under a no-deal #Brexit and it’s not the Brexit that was promised and will mean economic chaos & will divide the country:

@OfficeGSBrown speaking now @hopenothate / @IPPR event. Image No deal was ruled out by the Leave side in its referendum materials. Conservatives said Brexit would be ‘smooth and orderly’.

Serial far-right agitator Stephen Yaxley-Lennon has just been handed a 9-month jail sentence for contempt of court (likely to serve 19 weeks after time served, out on licence after 10 weeks potentially).

His actions nearly derailed a trial of child sex abusers. This is what a coalition of women’s and survivors groups have to say – they rejected Stephen Lennon’s cynical attempt to use the grooming scandals simply to push his name and agenda. Big up for @EVAWuk
