THE HOPE NOT HATE FILES: How a Communist Front Group Captured the British State
PART ONE: THE ORIGIN MYTH
Meet Nick Lowles. The official story is perfect. A child of the 1960s, born to a mother from Mauritius who arrived in 1961. The family moved to Hounslow, then Shrewsbury. Young Nick experienced what he calls "street racism." A victim. A vulnerable child who found his purpose fighting hate.
This is the foundation myth of Hope Not Hate. A charity. An anti fascist organization. Non partisan. Non sectarian. Just good people fighting racism.
Keep that image in your mind. We are about to destroy it.
PART TWO: THE COMMUNIST ROOTS
Before Hope Not Hate, there was Searchlight. Founded in 1964, revived in 1975. Its editor until March 2025? Gerry Gable. A man who cut his teeth in the Young Communist League and the Communist Party of Great Britain. A full time industrial organizer for the CPGB who left the party over its anti Israel stance, but never abandoned the methods.
Searchlight operated on one principle: "by any means necessary." Surveillance, infiltration, smears. Nick Lowles joined as a student at Sheffield University in 1989. He did not join a charity. He joined a communist militant operation that had been waging street warfare against fascists since the 1960s.
The lineage is direct. Hope Not Hate, founded in 2004, is Searchlight with a charity number.
PART THREE: THE CORPORATE DECEPTION
Here is where it gets clever. Where it gets criminal.
Hope Not Hate is not one organization. It is two. First, the Hope Not Hate Charitable Trust, registered with the Charity Commission. Second, Hope Not Hate Limited, a private company. Same name. Same branding. Same people. Different legal status.
Why? Because charities cannot engage in partisan political activity. But private companies can. So the charity takes taxpayer money and donations. Then it "recharges" expenses to the private company. Or grants it half a million pounds in a single year. The private company does the political campaigning. The charity takes the tax breaks.
The Charity Commission saw through it. They opened a compliance case in 2024. Then another in 2025. The regulator found it was "not clear" if the charity endorsed the political company's activities. The charity had to change its name, recruit new trustees, scrub its website. The Commission criticized how long it took them to comply.
Tory MP Stuart Rankin put it plainly: the charitable status is being used to funnel taxpayer funds into a "purely political operation with a reported history of fabricating security threats, spreading disinformation and pushing smear campaigns."
This is not a charity. This is a money laundering operation for left wing political warfare.
PART FOUR: THE TACTICS
Let us talk about how they gather intelligence. Because it is not pretty.
Harry Shukman. A Hope Not Hate "journalist." Needed to infiltrate right wing groups for a documentary. So he changed his name by deed poll to "Christopher Morton." Got an official UK passport in the false name. Used it to infiltrate. Then changed his name back a year later.
The Spectator exposed this. Hope Not Hate threatened to sue for defamation. The Spectator had to apologize, but only because the passport was technically genuine. The deception was real. The deed poll trick was real. This is how they operate.
But that is just the start.
In 2019, Tommy Robinson released "Panodrama." Undercover footage of BBC journalist John Sweeney allegedly planning a "fake news hit job" in collusion with Hope Not Hate. The BBC, taxpayer funded, working with this group to "take down" their political enemy.
The footage allegedly shows Hope Not Hate operatives on the BBC set, calling the shots, intimidating Robinson's former employees during interviews. Pressuring them to "create incriminating fake texts." Blackmailing them to invent stories.
Then in 2022, Robinson released "Hope Not Hate Exposed." Featuring testimony from Caolan Robertson, his former employee. The allegations are staggering: blackmail, sexual assault, providing illegal drugs to sources in exchange for information. Targeting people's families.
Robertson claims HNH operatives used "dirty extortion methods" and sexual assaults to coerce testimony. That they supplied drugs to manufacture sources. That they target families to apply pressure.
These are not researchers. These are criminals using charity status as cover.
PART FIVE: THE CONVICTION
Meet Liron Velleman. Hope Not Hate "political organizer." Labour councillor for Barnet. Member of the Jewish Labour Movement. Gave evidence to Parliament on the Online Safety Bill in 2022.
In December 2024, he was caught in a Metropolitan Police sting. He had been sending sexual messages to someone he believed was a 13 year old girl. Requesting photos of her in "pyjamas and bra." Sending videos of his penis. Stripping to his underwear and pressuring the "child" to send underwear photos.
In January 2026, he pleaded guilty to attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, and attempting to cause a child to view sexual activity. Judge James Lofthouse described his interest as "reckless, vile and frankly devious."
He received a suspended sentence. No jail time. A former Hope Not Hate political organizer, convicted of child sex offenses, spared prison.
This is who they employ. This is who they send to Parliament to advise on online safety.
PART SIX: THE ACID ATTACK LIE
August 2024. Riots across Britain. Misinformation spreading.
Nick Lowles, CEO of Hope Not Hate, tweeted that white racists in Middlesbrough had thrown acid in a Muslim woman's face. The police investigated. The police refuted it. It never happened.
Lowles kept the tweet up. Even after police said it was false. Senior Conservative MP Neil O'Brien called it "incredibly irresponsible thing to do, spreading misinformation and pouring petrol on the flames."
This is their method. Lie first. Spread fear. Correct later, if at all. The damage is done.
PART SEVEN: THE STATE CAPTURE
Now we reach the present. The endgame.
July 2026. Andy Burnham becomes Prime Minister. His first appointments?
Alison Phillips. Board member of Hope Not Hate Limited. Former CEO of Labour Together. Made Director of Transition in Burnham's Number 10. Her job: avoid the "early mistakes that befell Starmer."
Matthew McGregor. Former Director of Campaigns and Communications at Hope Not Hate. Made Director of Political Strategy in Burnham's Number 10.
Think about what this means. A man who ran HNH's smear campaigns now controls government political strategy. A woman who sat on HNH's board while they faced Charity Commission investigations now controls the Prime Minister's transition.
Anna Turley, former HNH director, is already Labour Party Chair.
They have moved from attacking the state to running it.
Phillips has said she is "very proud" to support HNH's mission. She wants to "widen the diversity of ethnicity" in newsrooms. She believes the "British media has a lot of work to do" on representation.
This is not a charity. This is a revolutionary organization that has captured the British state.
THE CONCLUSION
Hope Not Hate is not what it claims to be.
It is the continuation of a communist militant tradition, using charitable status to launder taxpayer money into political warfare. It employs convicted child sex offenders. It uses blackmail, deception, and alleged drug supply to manufacture sources. It collaborates with the BBC to target political enemies. It spreads misinformation during civil unrest. And now its operatives control the Prime Minister's office.
Nick Lowles built this. From a student volunteer at Sheffield to the most powerful political operative in Britain.
The Charity Commission cannot stop them. The police will not investigate them. The BBC collaborates with them. And now they run the government.
This is the story of how a communist front group captured a democracy. While everyone was watching the far right, the far left walked into Number 10.

This is only a fraction of what these vile parasites have done. Their crimes run deeper than one thread can contain. I welcome anyone with receipts to add them below. More crimes. More treason. More evidence of their destruction. Let us create a permanent file on X for the world to see. This is the establishment apparatus being used to destroy England, and we will name every single person complicit in it. The archive stays open. Add what you have.
