Nigel Farage called Andrew Tate an “important voice” for young men. Now Tate has been arrested in Miami and faces extradition to Britain on a fresh raft of serious sexual offence charges, alongside his brother Tristan. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/07/fara...
Within hours of Farage’s resignation from Parliament, every major party ruled itself out of contesting the Clacton by election. A “fake by-election,” they call it. Tell that to the voters left with no real choice. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/07/they...
On Italy's Liberation day, the anniversary of the defeat of fascism, Searchlight sends its warmest greetings to all our Italian anti-fascist comrades, and especially to our friends in ANPI.
Readers have been asking if we can shed light on why fascists like Britain First Deputy leader Ashlea Simon are campaigning for the release of Charles Bronson, known as 'Britain's most violent prisoner'. searchlightmagazine.com/2023/03/mini...
Far-right agitators and local racists, their rage stoked by Danny Tommo, have returned to the streets of the Surrey commuter town of Epsom, attacking police and properties on the basis of lies and disinformation about an alleged rape. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/04/dann...
Police have been drafted in from other forces to make sure the fascists of Britain First can march their planned route in Manchester today. Officers from West Midlands police and Durham have been seen. Estimates now are of some 500 police in all.
Manchester police are apparently determined to avoid a repeat of events the last time Britain First marched in the city. Then, anti-fascists managed to repeatedly block the fascists and forced police to reroute the march.
Two local events over the weekend, Wolverhampton and Swindon, featuring nationally known far-right figures, were outnumbered, outsung and out-performed by anti-racist counter demonstrators. Read about them here: searchlightmagazine.com
Ryan Ferguson and his YouTube buddy Harry Jackson appeared before LIverpool magistrates today, denying a string of charges linked to an incident at a Liverpool hotel used to house asylum seekers. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/04/ryan...
Do not feed the animals: the need to begin confronting the rise of far-right ‘auditors’ who harass, doxx and provoke their opponents. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/03/do-n...
And while tens of thousands of anti-racists marched in London, Mark Collett and Patriotic Alternative managed to muster, well, a couple of dozen nazis in Nuneaton where they were demonstrating against 'mass immigration'... But it was not an altogether unevenful occasion...
If initial estimates of half a million are right, today' s Together Alliance demonstration in London against the far right in general, but Farage and Reform in particular, is a fantastic achievement. Certainly if you were there it was clear that many tens of thousands had flocked to the capital...
Billy Bragger, identified as a ringleader "at the front and centre" of racist riots in Hull in 2024, has been jailed for 6 years. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/03/man-...
Total humiliation when UKIP actually tried to march. They got about about ten yards and were forced back by anti-fascists on three sides. Now hugely outnumbered and penned in behind barriers, relying completely on police protection. And still no sign of Tenconi. This is why they call him TACO…
Neo-nazi Ryan Ferguson boasted last night that he would be in Liverpool today. He posed with his little Cheltenham posse: Justin DuPlessis and James Hodges (aka The Viking). But he didn't make it. Police stopped him as he drove into Liverpool and arrested him for breach of bail conditions.
The usual gaggle of ‘auditors’ in Liverpool today to provoke trouble, film it and flog it. Left to right: Hugh Anthony (with beard), so-called bodyguard Fred Willis (aka Fred CPO) Thomas Moffitt (aka Young Bob), Chris Messenger (aka English Ned)
A massive turnout of hundreds of anti-fascists in Liverpool has effectively occupied the rallying point of today’s UKIP march outside the city’s Catholic cathedral. Christian vicars and priests much in evidence plainly outraged by the fascists claim that their event is a ‘Walk with Jesus’.
