* Many minority communities and anti-racism groups say Reform’s rise has increased fears about racism, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and community safety.
* Activists in Birmingham, Oxford, Edinburgh, and Glasgow reported anxiety among Black, brown, migrant, and Muslim communities.
* Concerns intensified after a newly elected Reform councillor in Sunderland was suspended over an allegedly racist social media post.
* Campaigners argue Reform’s rhetoric on deportation and immigration legitimises hostility toward minorities.
* Anti-racism organisers say Reform victories may embolden people already expressing racist or divisive views.
* Some campaigners also criticised controversial rhetoric from independent and Workers party-linked figures in Birmingham, including Akhmed Yakoob.
* A Labour councillor said the election campaign saw increased acceptance of homophobia and transphobia.
* Reform MP Richard Tice rejected claims communities should fear Reform and instead highlighted concerns about antisemitism against Jewish people.
* Anti-racism groups say they intend to intensify organising efforts in response to Reform’s electoral gains.
People in the replies will deny this whilst simultaneously screaming because a car insurance TV advert includes a black couple.
Also bracing for all the comments telling them they’re making it up
Just a comment to say that you can have whatever opinions on political parties and the recent election results and still have empathy. There will be many people who feel this way.
Sounds more like a perception of a surge in racism than an actual surge
A lot of people collectively forgetting the far right race riots we had not long ago
Meanwhile Scotland has now got a sitting MSP who’s made at least 3 racially motivated comments against white people. It goes both ways, the Greens are no better for racism than Reform. Both are toxic self serving parties that are gaining momentum due to radicalisation of weak minded followers. They gain entry into politics to serve their own needs and beliefs rather than those of the people they represent who are from all different backgrounds.
This is what happens though, people want change, they want to vote in parties that have extreme views and this is what you get. I will stick with voting for parties that have a long track record of being neutral, centre or slightly leaning rather than these extremists.
Unless they deal with GB news routinely breaking offcom rules and Twitter instigating overthrow (something a bunch of the far right have been saying for ages which would be taken gravely seriously if it was left wingers) and fomenting pogroms we are just speedrunning slow motion into a far right project 2029 type situation. And that’s really alarming
When Farage is PM, racism will be encouraged as patriotism.
Look at the horrors being tweeted from the US government as a taste of how things will be here.
Always going to be some idiots who will take this as a greenlight and take things too far.
I managed a lady from Poland when the Brexit party was canvasing. She got a letter through her door more than once threatening to kick her out and reminding her to go back to her own country, some in hand writing… This was not an isolated case I found out and I was mortified. People who voted reform may not be racist but you are supporting the hate that will be put upon other humans who for the most part are here fully legally.
More racism coming from the Muslim immigrants than they are receiving.
To quote the Leader of the Green Party, do these minority groups have a perception of a surge in racism or is there actually a surge in racism?
Please add ableism and homophbia to the list Ableism is going to be awful as these people are now in charge of the lives and education of disabled children and adult’s.
idk whats scarier, knowing you’re walking amongst people who secretly hate you for being an ethnic, or walking amongst people who are happy to express their hatred to you!
Maybe if the UK punished ALL racism, including anti-white green MPS, then maybe just maybe the resentments and double standards would dissipate.
It’s a vicious cycle of being anti-white and it emboldens more racism against minorities and the cycle continues.
I am a Romani gypsy and I’m uncomfortable in anti-racism circles with how anti-Jewish and anti-white these movements are. You cannot be anti-racism and in your next breath say fuck the Jews and fuck white people.
This is exactly what happened in the states too. A far right group motivated by racism felt emboldened and began to be more open about their bigotry. Then the media normalized the new level of bigotry and the cycle continues. The UK is headed down the same road as the US did 10 years ago.
Well, this should come as a shock to the Indians campaigning for reform around here, but I feel like they’re to busy playing Renfield to Farage to care.
Meanwhile foaming rabid Islamists march up and down our high streets demanding intifada and death to Jews.
We’ve already seen a surge in racism with all of the anti-Semitic attacks, and it wasn’t Reform voters doing those.
Humans are tribal, difficult to get round that, it’s evolved in. I think some are better at cooperation and community than others, but some literally can’t see past “That family got the house that should be mine” because they are ‘from’ that particular place. It literally doesn’t matter what colour or nationality the other is for those people, because their tribe is oh so very small.
Can we all just stop being shitty to each other? No? Too much to ask? Right well i tried.
My little brothers are mixed race, and they’ll tell you it’s been on a steady increase for the last 5 years or so…
So many comments, and so few of them are actually discussing the incoming surge in racism. Racism is bad, no matter who it is aimed at. Abusing/harming people for the colour of their skin is bad, but no, let’s keep defending the politics which enable this behaviour.
For the record, yes, immigration is important, but so are other, bigger issues, like reducing the wealth gap, which is the highest it’s ever been. Life expectancy between some people in this country is well over a decade!
How about supporting the NHS and avoiding privatising it any more?
Cost of living? I’m sick of my bills going up every year (at least!) without fail. Why can’t we direct the same energy at that as we do with immigration? That literally affects all of us in a bad way!
I was born here and the lack of empathy makes me want to leave. We’re supposed to be a great people, instead we’re ok with inflicting pain and physical harm on others because of skin colour. WTF is wrong with us?
We need a break, just one day. Just ONE fucking day.
It’s even more perplexing why a solution has not been found for the minority (but still making regular substantial media stories) of “bad migrants”
I appreciate Labour has done a lot statistically, and honestly, of All the parties I think are least bad, followed by lib dems / independents – however they have not photo-op “solved” the problem
I honestly think if starmer kept Rwanda deal, he could have off shored these problem cases immediately, stated they would no return to UK after punishment, and working actively to avoid repeats etc.. Action and photo op. Instead it’s usual slow process which gives inflammatory media / parties the smoking guns.. Remove those fringe cases, the worst of the worst, and not only creating more UK prison space to be “tough on crime”, but also removing a large chunk of reform support and call to arms
Instead it was all initially labelled far right, and the taboo of the topic went on, until the BBC started breaking stories and the scale of years of previous government / departments failings became evident – they rushed to close Rwanda and with no other plan or solution for such people and situations.
And now with the greens stealing a slice and lib dems more so I think, reform has achieved a worrying outcome – and the mixed race, descendent of migrant, migrants and others will feel more tension (and potentially embolden racists and social division) – all because failure to be seen to solve this problem. I fear it’s a, repeat of brexit, with government taking principled stance and ignoring obvious reality and reducing the Flashpoint issues which drive the narratives
Just like MAGA the racists, homophobes and pro-control people will become emboldened

A ton of reform candidates are second generation immigrants and Muslim
This is all the typical media fearmongering bullshit
No surprise, UK has been racist well before Reform
Labour want to stop the boats too. Is that racist? Or only racist if reform say it.
My wife’s an immigrant. I also support Rupert Lowe. Stopping people from entering the country illegally is not racist, it’s the right thing to do.
All I can say is good luck to every non White person if Reform gets in
It’s true I’ve been getting more racial abuse and I’m from a small village in the Cotswolds
It’s wild how the playbook is always to deny there’s a problem right up until someone points out a specific example, then it’s “well that’s not systemic.” The mental gymnastics are exhausting to watch.
