“Dallet’s win over Judge Michael Screnock shrunk the conservative majority on the court to one vote, after a campaign that had become the latest test of Trump-era liberal activism and political spending.”

The chapter has finally closed on the fascist British National Party (BNP) after its final councillor, Brian Parker of the Marsden ward in Pendle, Lancashire, has declined to stand for re-election. Parker has sat on Pendle council since 2006.

The BNP had its first councillor elected in 1993 in the Millwall ward of Tower Hamlets, although lost the seat the following year. The party broke through in 2002, winning three councillors in Burnley, Lancashire, following the 2001 riots. The party made strong gains in 2006, with 33 councillors – including 12 in Barking and Dagenham – and considerable results in another 80+ wards.

At its peak the party boasted 55 councillors and gained 943,600 votes and two MEPs in the 2009 European elections, solidifying it as the most successful extreme right party in British electoral history.

However, the BNP suffered a dramatic collapse in May 2010 after failing to breakthrough in the general election and losing all but two of its 28 councillors facing re-election. The group have suffered dramatic collapse in every local election since, barring Parker’s surprise re-election in 2014.

HOPE not hate is proud to have been on the frontline opposing the BNP, campaigning against them at every step across the length and breadth of the UK, working with local parties, trade unions, faith leaders, the Mirror and others, with the help of tens of thousands of supporters.

Whilst the BNP will continue to field the odd candidate – for example, it is standing two in its former stronghold of Barking and Dagenham – they are well and truly finished as an electoral force.

One down, many more to go, but we have shown we can beat them.
