With just three weeks until the local elections, more than 5,000 council seats will be contested across England, alongside elections for the Senedd and Scottish Parliament.
Reform UK now has 8 MPs, 983 local councillors, and representation in both the Senedd and Holyrood. In May’s elections Reform UK will be standing in 95% of the local council elections – that’s as many as Labour.
Nigel Farage has made clear that success at these elections is intended as a “stepping stone to change in national government.” We cannot let this happen.
Reform UK is a racist party. They want to slash public services, erode workers and all the progressive rights we’ve run – whilst blaming all of society’s problems on migrants.
The half-a-million-strong Together Alliance demonstration showed the scale of opposition to Reform UK’s nasty, divisive politics. We now need to turn that energy into sustained action by encouraging everyone who attended—or was inspired by it—to get involved with Stand Up To Racism campaign to stop Reform UK.
Please reach out to your colleagues and ask your branch leadership to share Stand Up To Racism resources with all members.
We need everyone involved in campaigning to stop Reform UK.
