We are going the way of Germany in the 1920s with this huge rise in fascism and far right politics, add in ridiculous billionaires and their unfortunate salutes spreading around social media and I have severe concerns for the future of our country.

Britain is a nation of different Nationalities and religions... These people are our people and should not be marginalised. Next we will see camps constructed by far righters and trains taking marginalised Brits to be gassed out.

Their method of fear over facts is working on too many people and I am more and more ashamed to be British every single day.

Totally agree.

Education has failed many by way of not teaching and enforcing History

Thank you for reporting on this .. we need journalists to hold Reform UK to account although it is a hard task .

Firstly, "Reform UK Limited", is an active company registered at Company House. The raison why so many people want a change how they vote is, you only have to look at our WNC. The Council want to lend three millions to an International company. Why? Also look at the various MP'S newly elected. They do not want to communicate with their constituents others than the channel they choose. In effect blocking the vast majority of their voters? Therefore it is no wonder there is a huge rise in the "Far Right" movement. However, I do concur with Helen comments about the 1920 and 1930 the rise of "Fascism". What do you think?

I follow both the Northampton MPs on Facebook and I'm impressed by how much information they share. Lucy Rigby posts pretty much every day, and does a recap of the week's work at the weekend.

Dave, not everyone has an account on Facebook or have a computer for writing letters. However, if a constituent take the time to write a letter directly to them, it is my believe in a democratic society that a response should be made to any enquiries. After all that is what they were elected for. To act on behalf of the voters.

I would back reform if I could be sure that it has absolutely no extremist or fascist agenda.

Or any elements of that.

Genuine asylum seekers must be made to uphold our British way of life and not try to change it thus threatening our culture and our freedoms so hard won by previous generations.

REFORM is a limited company, not a political party where it's members do not have a vote or a choice in its direction.

The main beneficiary is the biggest shareholder which is Nigel Farage.

Every person 'donating' £25 to be a 'member' is basically giving him the money for his own personal benefit.

He entered politics to use it as a vehicle for his own personal agenda and is being paid handsomely for it thanks to his 'members'.

The man is a total fraud and operates just above the law.

As anyone can see from this article, the local representatives said an awful lot but actually, NOTHING!

No answers to the problems, just sound bytes.

Hollow words.

Empty vessels.

JUST AN EGO TRIP FOR THEIR CANDIDATES.

I cannot explain enough how much I detest far right initiatives as history has already told us how it's insipid tentacles crawl into our democratic and caring society.

(Pre war Germany and WW2, with millions dead, fighting Nazism)

We have suffered 14 years of our society being stripped of services that were designed to help all but mainly the poorest in our country and British Isles, which we, the British public had purchased through our taxes, only for them to be ground down to nothing.

REFORM have no answers to build those missing services back up, just radicalisation of the poor, or foreign, or disabled.

REFORM ARE CONNING GOOD PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY AND TAKING VOTES AWAY FROM CANDIDATES WHO WANT BETTER FOR THEIR COMMUNITY THAN REFORM DO.

I concur with all your comments. However, until the main stream political party recognise the damage they have created and still doing, then the flood gates will be open to candidates like REFORM.

The main criticism of the Reform leadership is how much time they spend in the USA. There clearly are towns named Clacton and Boston in the states but they are meant to be representing towns in this country.

The main critism?

Surely there's more issues with a far right organisation than merely their travel preferences?
