Safya from Light on Anti-Muslim Prejudice interviews the author and editor Mariam Khan about her book 'It's Not About the Burqa' and they discuss representation of Muslim women, and the participation of Muslim women in spaces that they are often excluded from.

Following the publication of the EHRC report into antisemitism in the Labour Party, we're joined by Peter Mason of the Jewish Labour Movement, Jemma Levene from HOPE not hate, and the Labour MP Stella Creasy. They talked to our campaigns director Matthew McGregor about the report itself, and where the fight against anti-Jewish racism goes from here.

Senior Researcher Joe Mulhall interviews long term friend of HOPE not hate, and prominent scholar of the far right, Cas Mudde about his new book The Far Right Today. Mudde argues that we have entered a new 'wave' of far right development that can be seen across the world in the increased presence of far right ideas and parties in the mainstream of democratic countries.
Joe and Cas discuss the developments in the far right today, what drives them, and what can be done to address them. Mudde makes the explicit call to the mainstream right that they need to consider the limits of what and who they are willing to work with.

On Armistice Day, 2000 far right activists and football hooligans descended on London under the guise of "defending" the Cenotaph from pro-Palestine demonstrators.
10 days ago, Britain's hooligan chat groups were filled with the usual discussion of football and beer. But they quickly mobilised as the (now former) Home Secretary Braverman branded pro-Palestine demonstrations as "hate marches", and as the The Daily Mail and Douglas Murray suggested the Cenotaph was under threat. All this coupled with Tommy Robinson's return to X, and his calls for a new anti-Islam far right street movement.
The result: chaos on the streets of London, as far right activists and football hooligans battled police and attempted to confront Pro-Palestine demonstrators.
HOPE not hate had teams on the ground and embedded within the far right all day, feeding live information about what exactly was going on and where.
HOPE not hate's CEO, Nick Lowles, makes an appearance on Radio 43 to give us the full run-through of the precursors to the carnage, how the itself day panned out, and what the backlash has been for those on the march and for Tommy Robinson himself.
With over 100 arrests already and presumably many more to come as police trawl through footage, it's looking as though Saturday will go down as another costly moment for Britain's far right.

It has been a decade since HOPE not hate released its first groundbreaking Fear & HOPE report, the biggest investigation into identity undertaken in Britain.
This year, following ten years of political upheaval, HNH has released a new Fear & HOPE report to better understand how social attitudes have changed during that time. In the recovery from a global pandemic but heading into economic recession, amidst a political context of culture wars, Brexit fallouts and fracturing across the political spectrum, our research finds a new alignment of identity politics, and the emergence of a new reactionary right threat.
To tie in with the report's release Rosie Carter, its author and HOPE not hate's Director of Policy, sits down with Anthony Painter, Director of Policy and External Affairs at the Chartered Management Institute who co-authored the original Fear & HOPE.
Taking a broad view, the two examine the key takeaways from the report and try to establish what has changed in the intervening years.
