Far-right group Britain First registers as a political party

"Today, remember Jo Cox. The last words she heard were ‘Britain First’. We are better than this," wrote Carole Cadwalladr.

The far-right group Britain First has registered as a political party after its application was approved by the Electoral Commission, provoking widespread fury.

Party leader Paul Golding said he was “ecstatic” and would start “building the electoral arm of our party”.

The party was deregistered in 2017 after it failed to renew its registration on time.

In 2018, Facebook removed the group’s pages saying it had repeatedly violated its community standards.

Golding was also found guilty of an offence under the Terrorism Act after refusing to give police access to his mobile phone on his return from a political trip to Russia.

Leftist bias

Mr Golding thanked supporters for donating thousands of pounds, saying: ‘We have fought long and hard against unbelievable corruption and leftist bias to get to this point.

“Britain First can now build an elections-winning machine capable of taking on the treacherous Old-Gang parties.

I'm worried about Britain First for two reasons and only two reasons:

1️⃣
Tories will distance themselves from them as a way of making themselves look moderate.

2️⃣
Our media will treat them as a legitimate viewpoint and use the decision of the Electoral Commission to justify it.

Britain First has registered as a political party again? Apparently having a leader with a conviction for terrorism is perfectly acceptable now in British politics

Another utterly tragic day for post-Brexit Britain, as grotesque far-right group Britain First appear to have been formally recognised by the @ElectoralCommUK as a 'legitimate' political party, registered & led by a thug imprisoned in 2018 for religiously aggravated harassment. https://t.co/ZRtLHHgZw4 pic.twitter.com/vgfCaVNDnM

Britain First's Paul Golding was found guilty of an offence under the terrorism act in 2020.

Fuel scarcity, supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, soaring house prices, and now #BritainFirst are allowed to become a "real" party even though one of them murdered a sitting MP. This UK really is circling the drain.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
