Statement on Caerphilly By-Election Results

João, Stand Up to Racism Valleys:

"We are very proud of all our supporters and volunteers who were out every day leafleting and exposing the dangers of Reform."

Statement on Caerphilly By-Election Results
Reform UK threw everything they had at this by-election — and they still lost.

This result stands as a powerful testament to the dedication and determination of anti-racist campaigners and community activists across Caerphilly. Volunteers delivered thousands of leaflets, spoke directly with residents, and made clear the real dangers posed by Reform’s divisive politics.

The defeat of Reform is a major victory for everyone committed to opposing racism and intolerance. The significance of this outcome cannot be overstated. Sincere thanks and congratulations go to all those who worked tirelessly to make it possible.

But our work does not end here. The challenge ahead is not only to oppose Reform and other far-right movements, but to build a positive, inclusive, and genuinely anti-racist alternative that offers hope and unity.

Stand Up to Racism urges everyone who shares these values to join us and continue the fight for equality and justice.

The organiser of the 'stop the illegals' far-right hate rally in Chesterfield praised his supporters for their 'fabulous' behaviour

Nothing could be further from the truth

Here is abusive and threatening behaviour by self confessed 'nazis' 'racists' and 'fascists'

Well done to the 350+ anti-racists who came to defend the Sandpiper Refugee hotel on Sunday.

We faced a large far-right racist mob who spewed racist and misogynist abuse. We stood united against hate.
