Across Britain, Stand Up To Racism groups are taking the fight to Reform UK—on the streets, on doorsteps, at stalls and in workplaces.
With elections on 7 May fast approaching, Reform is trying to turn racism, scapegoating and division into votes. But anti-racists are pushing back everywhere—exposing Reform’s politics, challenging the far right, and showing that our communities will not be divided.
At the same time, groups are building hard for 16 May, when fascist Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” mobilisation in London will be met by a major unity protest called by the Palestine coalition to mark the Nakba, alongside Stand Up To Racism.
The reports below show the scale and energy of the movement. In Hastings and St Leonard’s, activists have delivered 12,000 leaflets, while Lewes activists have put out around 14,000 across target wards. In Dunfermline, 100 anti-racists marched through the town with an anti-Reform message, and in Glasgow thousands of tabloids and leaflets have been distributed across different areas.
From mass leafleting and community stalls to marches, workplace activity and counter-protests, anti-racists are organising in every corner.
The coming days matter. Every leaflet, stall, march and conversation can help drive back Reform—and build the biggest possible anti-racist mobilisation against Robinson and the far right on 16 May.
Scotland
Dunfermline
Fife is anti-racist. A 100-strong Dunfermline unity march of trade unionists, students workers and anti-racists turned out to say, “Refugees are welcome” and “Don’t give your vote to racist Reform!”
It was a fantastic day in Dunfermline, with 100 anti-racists marching through the town and showing collective solidarity. We were loud and proud, showing that unity in the community is strong in Dunfermline, with a fantastic turnout from trade unions, creative organisations, anti-racist campaigns and anti-war groups.
These actions are critical to building community cohesion, bringing people together to fight against racism, hatred and division. Dunfermline is anti-racist.
Thanks for all the love and support from SUTR comrades who came through and helped make the day such a great success. Nae passaran!
Falkirk
Falkirk for All reported that anti-Reform leafleting has went well over the last three weeks in Falkirk, with a final push in the run-up to the election.
Falkirk for All has been to Kilmarnock, Livingston and Dunfermline, as well as a counter-demonstration to a fascist mobilisation at the Cladhan Hotel in Falkirk. They also attended a screening of the documentary Welcome to Kenmure Street and sat on a panel discussion afterwards.
Activists from Perth and Dundee also joined Falkirk for All to take part in an exhibition about how women have been treated by the far right.
Glasgow
Women Against the Far Right joined the Glasgow Trade Union Council May Day march and rally, handing out over 600 anti-Reform Stand Up to Racism tabloid newspapers and hundreds of leaflets. They got a great reception from passers-by.
Activists from across Glasgow have also been involved in multiple areas campaigning against Reform.
Last week, over 1,000 anti-Reform tabloids were distributed in Glasgow’s Southside over a number of evenings. Another 1,000 leaflets were handed out in the Southside by individuals going door to door and asking shops to take them.
On Saturday, 12 activists joined a SUTR Glasgow day of action in the Newlands area.
In the East End, a new locally based SUTR group has formed, with mass leafleting happening during the week plus a stall and day of action on Saturday, which five activists joined.
In Knightswood, there was a successful stall on Saturday as part of the campaign against Reform. Activists handed out packs of leaflets and the anti-Reform tabloid at the local shopping centre.
Inverness
On Saturday in Inverness, 100 anti-racists joined a unity rally organised by Highlands Against Hate.
Over 90 people attended the rally in Inverness on Saturday 2 May. Speakers included local activists, Women Against the Far Right and Moray Coast Against Hate.
Paisley
Activists have been out and about in Paisley over the last few days, putting flyers and anti-Reform newspapers through people’s doors.
They are hoping for a big final push on Wednesday before the election, with full plans to be confirmed.
Perth
Perth Against Racism reported that 7 anti-racists from Perth and Dundee held a SUTR stall in Perth city centre, handing out Stop Reform leaflets.
They got a really positive response, with many saying they didn’t need the leaflets as they would never vote for Reform.
In the last 10 days, several areas of Perth have been leafleted door to door, distributing around 500 leaflets. In one area, activists were just two streets ahead of Reform canvassers. Hopefully, the leaflets gave people some ammunition to use when they got a knock on the door.
In Blairgowrie on Saturday, the far right held a small protest of around 20 racists, who were met with disgust from the locals. Someone even stole their banners. It was heartening to see that, even without an organised counter-protest, locals were willing to challenge them.
Wales
Rhondda & Valleys
Activists hit the streets of Merthyr and were also leafleting in Caerphilly and Pontypridd. People are also organising their own sessions in Pontypridd, Barry and Brecon.
Three Stand Up to Racism groups—Valleys, Cardiff and Bristol—also leafleted in Rhymney in a joint action.
West Wales
Four members of West Wales Women Against the Far Right helped enable a Stop Reform stall with women met through Palestine organising groups, and activists are going to help mobilise in West Wales for future unity marches.
In Tenby, activists were out and about to challenge Reform.
England
Bournemouth Christchurch & Poole
Fascists mobilised at the Roundhouse in Bournemouth on Friday, gathering around 35 people onto their side, but they were met by an equal number of antiracists. The fascists had to draft in members of the racist Hampshire Resistance group to bolster their numbers.

Bristol Stand Up to Racism leafleted two mosques on Friday in Bristol, plus the vicinity of Bristol University. At the May Day rally on Saturday, activists promoted the mobilisation against Tommy Robinson on 16 May, and there are plans for leafleting and postering at the universities later this week.
Activists reported a lot of success in getting a large number of shops and cafes to display the poster advertising the counter-demonstration against Tommy Robinson on 16 May.
Ten people from Bristol also went over to Rhymney in South Wales to help with anti-Reform leafleting.

St Mary Cray has been identified as a target area for Reform, alongside other wards. Activists also helped with activity in Bexley and leafleting in Downham, Lewisham.
Cambridge
Cambridge activists have been busy leafleting Reform target wards in the city, as well as in St Neots, Peterborough and Huntingdon. A particular focus has been on Cambridge’s Chesterton ward, where Reform is fielding the son of James Orr, who is a key advisor of Nigel Farage and an architect of their misogynistic “social” policies. Activists also held a stall and leafleting at Cambridge Market Square.
Crawley
Crawley Stand Up to Racism has delivered approximately 4,000 Stop Reform leaflets over the last few weeks.

MONITORING GROUP REPORT
Fascist street movement tries to regroup—but anti-fascists are watching
The Stand Up to Racism antifascist monitoring group has been watching developments around the build-up to Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” mobilisation with interest.
Robinson has been in the US for weeks and recently announced that he had received a $100,000 donation for the demo from Bob Shillman, a far-right billionaire who sponsors racist politicians across the world. But despite this, Robinson is still begging his own supporters for money.
There are also divisions inside the fascist movement. Robinson and his key lieutenants, Daniel Thomas and Richard Inman, have been accused of grifting, while others are asking why a “British nationalist” is spending so much time in a different country taking political donations from foreign political actors.
The monitoring group believes Robinson will still mobilise substantial numbers on 16 May. But the build-up to this demonstration appears weaker than the huge mobilisation on 13 September 2025.
Oxford has also become a key focus. The Oxford Union has booked Robinson to speak in a debate on Islam on 28 May, less than two weeks after his planned 16 May rally in London. This comes after the fascist Oxford Patriots group has been organising in the city.
The last week has also shown the continued threat from the fascists beyond street protests. Alfie Coleman, a 21-year-old neo-Nazi from Great Notley in Essex, was convicted of preparing acts of terrorism after an MI5 sting. He has been remanded in custody ahead of sentencing. He had written emails to the neo-Nazi Patriotic Alternative group, asking to join their fascist sect.
Meanwhile, Robinson’s right-hand man, convicted armed kidnapper and all-round vile racist Daniel Thomas (alias “Danny Tommo”), was detained at Heathrow under the Terrorism Act after returning from Belgium.
Fascist street forces are continuing to test the ground in different parts of the country.
In Leicester, 38 fascists rallied in the city centre and were met by antifascists, showing the continued threat posed by the far right when it attempts to mobilise on the streets.
Restore Britain also appears to be pushing for wider mobilisation. Led by former Reform MP Rupert Lowe, Restore is supported by neo-Nazis including a number of activists previously associated with the Homeland party. Its activity in Great Yarmouth has raised concerns, while Restore graffiti and stickers have been reported in a number of areas across the country.
These developments show why monitoring the fascist street movement matters. The far right is trying to build confidence, test local areas and link local flashpoints to national mobilisations. Anti-fascists have to stay alert, expose them wherever they organise and be ready to mobilise the broadest possible opposition.
