| Today (16 April 2025) the front page of the Guardian reads “largest teaching union describes Reform UK as ‘far-right and racist'”. Yesterday, the National Education Union overwhelmingly passed a motion supporting Stand Up to Racism, calling out Reform UK as the racist far right party it is, and pledging to campaign against them. Daniel Kebede, the NEU’s general secretary, told journalists: “I’m sure Reform claim that they are not a racist organisation. However, they seem to be attracting an awful lot of former BNP activists, which would make me question that.” Daniel is right. Farage has responded by saying that Reform UK will go to war with the NEU. This is because they are telling the truth about his racist party. If Farage wants to go to war with antiracists and trade unionists, we say bring it on. We will fight the far right at every turn. |
