A new species of white nationalism is propagating across the UK. It's a fast-growing weed, resistant to herbicides, and assiduously nurtured by Reform and its green-fingered head gardener, Nigel Farage. Such noxious undergrowth has always been there. It got out of control at times and was dealt with effectively. But now, it seems inexorable. Those who should be cutting it down and back are fatalistic. Or lazy. Or defeated. I often wonder how Farage and his patriots would react if Zimbabwe and South Africa declared that whites were strangers in their land and their presence was unsettling native cohesion. We learn that Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman have been appointed to what Farage calls his "shadow cabinet". The first is a known white nativist who complained that he "didn't see another white face" during a trip to Birmingham. The second - like Zia Yusuf -I believe was appointed for a purpose. In my view, they are useful alibis, tokens to parade racial inclusivity. Both are smart, but not politically sophisticated. In 1994, my book No Place Like Home was published. I wanted my newborn daughter to know my life story, in case I died prematurely. I described life in Uganda. We Asians were deplorably racist towards Black Ugandans, who resented our presence and advantaged lives.
I felt like an outsider there. Empire-builders had brainwashed me into believing Britain was my motherland. In the years after | arrived here in 1972, | learned it never was nor could be. Racism was red, livid and out there, and well stoked by right-wing politicians. Enoch Powell warned Britons of race battles and rivers of blood. In the seventies, Tory MP Harvey Proctor and some other Conservatives joined the Monday Club, which supported Apartheid and repatriation. In her time, Margaret Thatcher spoke of the UK being swamped by too many cultures. And Norman Tebbit suggested that ethnic minorities could never be British -his comments about my own Britishness in September 2000 on BBC Radio 4's Today programme made this clear. After the mid-nineties, millions of Brits began to take pride in diversity and to support equality. By the 2000s, I felt I had found a place I could belong to, London, my home. Other incomers whose skin colour had made them visible and vulnerable felt the same way. And the transformation was welcomed by white Britons who had moved on from imperial nostalgia and developed internationalist sensibilities.
Farage set about destroying those fields of hope. He is different from previous divisive, white nationalists. He and his trusted guys use the universal, profound meaningfulness of home and belonging to pull the heartstrings of nativist voters. They are fed a sentimental, moving, and shamefully manipulative narrative which goes like this: their white homeland has been invaded by dark hordes; they have had their birthrights snatched; their attachments to the green and pleasant land have been broken and even criminalised. Some immigrants do behave appallingly, have hideous values and cause societal fractures. I despise them and have written about the harm they do. But to hold us collectively responsible for them is reprehensible. Besides, white Britons are not all perfect citizens. Farage continually insinuates elegiac jingoism. Ex Tory MP Danny Kruger espouses it with passion, and sprinkles it with Christianity, claiming that Islam is to blame for a segregated society and that it has led to communities living an "un-British" life. Matthew Goodwin, the Reform candidate in the Gorton and…
…Denton by-election, masterfully finesses the cunning messaging. Once an academic, the reinvented Goodwin has moved further and further to the right, and now skillfully exploits the despair white people feel about their futures and their beloved country. He has publicly stated that "more diverse societies are also less trusting societies..." This is unfiltered Farageism. God help us all. The lawyer Jacqueline McKenzie, who has represented victims of the Windrush scandal, rightly believes that we are living in "very dangerous times". Her father came over in 1951 to make this country great again. Now we of migrant heritage are again walking through the fires of white hatred, expressed in foul words, deeds and actions. I have experienced two of those recently. My sense of belonging has been snatched away by Reform and the two main political parties. Like countless other Britons of colour, I feel panic and anger at those who ask us to "understand" why white people are racist. If Reform does get to power, it will extinguish much of what is bright and beautiful in Britain. People will eventually realise that. But far too late.
There you go. Because it matters.

Dr Paul Martin OBE, the chief executive of the LGBT Foundation, argued that the Equality Act "isn't adding to Britain's challenges - it's part of the solution". "Without it, people would have fewer protections against discrimination in everyday life, from work and healthcare to education and public services," he warned. "Equality isn't a 'nice to have' - it's a foundation for a fairer, stronger and healthier Britain.
Reform: an undeniably racist, misogynistic, transphobic, disability-sceptic party with disturbing links to christofascist MAGA… wants to leave the ECHR and scrap the Equality Act, removing our rights and protections.

Ah yes, Rubio's ‘love letter’ to Europe.
Marco Rubio just gave JD Vance’s message a nicer suit:
slam the door on migrants,
rebrand exclusion as ‘heritage,’
and top it off with an ‘our way or the highway’ ultimatum—
plus demand to stop bending to climate alarmism. 🤷♀️
So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.
We really are not a very good-natured country.
If the Brexit years really were behind us, Reform would no longer be a threat, there’d be no talk of leaving the ECHR, no Brexit peerages or whining about ‘Brexit betrayal’.
Instead, there’d be accountability and an electoral price to pay for the damage done. A ruthless reality check. No prisoners.
I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

Extract from article… starting with his obnoxious comments yesterday and a photo of Ratcliffe. Sir Jim Ratcliffe said Britain faces profound political, social and economic challenges, among them an unprecedented rise in immigration in recent years; Warning: Please be aware the language below could cause offence • Thursday 12 February 2026 12:40, UK sky sports news Sir Jim Ratcliffe speaks on immigration in the UK. Manchester United have been contacted for comment
In a statement on Thursday, Ratcliffe said: "I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe and caused concern but it is important to raise the issue of controlled and well-managed immigration that supports economic growth. "My comments were made while answering questions about UK policy at the European Industry Summit in Antwerp, where I was discussing the importance of economic growth, jobs, skills and manufacturing in the UK. "My intention was to stress that governments must manage migration alongside investment in skills, industry and jobs so that long-term prosperity is shared by everyone. It is critical that we maintain an open debate on the challenges facing the UK."
Just to be clear. That’s not an apology. That’s a total rewriting of what he said and what he meant, while he cowers behind his ‘oh so reasonable’ set of ‘I’m not racist but…’ excuses.
Enough of this contempt for us all. We see you Ratcliffe. We know what you are.

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one.
Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.
Anyway I'll be writing to Reform later to demand that they let me speak at their conference on the main stage.
If they refuse me they'll be showing themselves to be enemies of free speech
Wetherspoon boss urges pubs to back Reform By Henry Saker-Clark The founder of Wetherspoon has urged other pubs to back Reform UK. Sir Tim Martin, chairman of JD Wetherspoon, said Reform's plans to slash beer duty would help the sector move towards "tax parity with supermarkets". Nigel Farage's party announced a series of proposals to support pubs last week. They included pledges to cut VAT in the hospitality sector by 10 per cent, cut beer duty by the same fraction. Reform also said it would reverse the recent rise in employers' national insurance contributions (NICs) for the sector and gradually remove business rates for all pubs. The party has said it would fund this package with around 23on, which it plans to secure through reinstating the two-child benefit cap, except for families with two British-born parents. In a lengthy stock exchange filing yesterday, Martin (inset) told industry leaders "there's no question that this initiative would utterly transform the competitiveness of pubs" He said: "By eliminating the tax differential between supermarkets and the hospitality industry, and restoring margins to devastated businesses, these changes would enable pubs to regain some, or all, of their lost trade. "You would think that this offer from Reform would have been greeted by a crescendo of enthusiasm, ecstasy and support from the licensed trade and its supporters. "However, surpris-ingly, initial support has been underwhelming, at least from the great and the good in the hospitality industry" Last month, Labour announced additional business rates support for pubs. The announcement was a U-turn following complaints from pubs about rates changes in November's Budget.
Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.
