NEW - Ed Miliband appears to suggest that there was previous resistance under Keir Starmer to taking this action. "I'll say very bluntly we should have acted earlier. And it has taken the new prime minister to come in and recognise the gravity of the situation."

With new Labour leadership on the horizon, Reform has nowhere to run but spectacle. Farage knows that a Labour Party that ends business as usual would spell the end of the Reform Party. This is a stunt to distract from Labour’s potential to make big change under a new leader.

A graphic that reads: On Keir Starmer’s Resignation as Leader of the Labour Party. A Statement from Mainstream’s Interim Council. The Labour Party now has a chance to turn a corner and make good on our 2024 promise of ‘change’. 

But we must be clear: this is our final chance. What comes next must be a genuinely transformative political project. It must be bold in its offer to the country, and resolutely opposed to the internal culture of insularity and factionalism that has taken Labour to this point.

We will be consulting our members about what they would like to see happen next.

It's time to expose the far-right, neo Nazi agitators of so called "Wrexham Unite"! #wrecsam2025 #wrexham #wales #fascism #antifascist
It's time to expose the far-right, neonazi agitators of 
Wrexham Unite!First up, despite claiming to be a protest made up of "concerned locals", probably the most prominent feature of their so-called "protest" was the massive Patriotic Alternative Banner. 

For those who aren't aware, Patriotic Alternative is a Neonazi group - Kristopher Kearney, their podcast host, was jailed for disseminating terrorist materials, and PA's leader in South Wales, Joe Marsh, was jailed for a number of offences, including throwing a woman down a flight of stairs. 

So here is our direct message to the very few who did attend with "Wrexham Unite".

 If you care about Women and Girls, why do you stand with these disgusting, violent Nazis?Next, the protest was widely publicised by far-right media outlet "Voice of Wales" 

Dan Morgan, the wanna be Tommy Ten-Names bestie, who is one of two co-hosts of the podcast, was convicted of fraud - he was involved in a large-scale scam where he took millions from people who believed they were applying for compensation following being mis-sold PPI. The victims of his crimes are working-class men and women who are just like you. 

So here is our next message to the very few who did attend with "Wrexham Unite". 

We would ask you to consider who is making money off the division in our society caused by these far-right agitators. It's certainly not our side; we are working class, and we care about working-class communities.

 It's people like Dan Morgan who've already shown he's willing to step on ANYONE and commit crime just to make a few quid. He's got no morals. Why are you standing with him?

To the left is a blue Stanley tumbler, two flyers for "March Together against the Far Right," and a notebook with text overlays reading "5 FEB WORKPLACE MOBILISATION." Various colorful pens and a laptop with a campaign sticker are scattered around the edges.The same workspace as Image 1, but with a Slack message window superimposed in the center. The message is from "John Doe" in a channel named #mobilise. He writes: "Hi @here, I’m marching in Central London on 28 March against the far right... Can you join me? Let me know if you'd like to travel down together!!" A link to togetheralliance.org.uk is visible at the bottom of the message.The same workspace background, now featuring a Gmail compose window in the center. The email is addressed to "Company" with the subject line "Join me on 28 March against the far right." The body of the email contains a large, bold graphic repeating the campaign slogan: "MARCH FOR LOVE. FOR HOPE. FOR UNITY. TOGETHER. 28 MARCH LONDON."The workspace background again, this time with a Google Calendar event pop-up in the center. The event is titled "March Against the Far Right" and is scheduled for Saturday, 28 March from 12:00pm – 6:00pm in Central London, London. The description box at the bottom asks: "Can you join me?
