Steve Laws is a notorious fascist influencer from Folkestone, Kent. He has cycled through numerous far-right organisations in his six years on the scene, including For Britain, UKIP, the English Democrats, Reform UK and the fascist Homeland Party, and has close links to the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative. He now presides over his own pressure group, Remigration Now, and has also signed up to Restore Britain, a fact that has gained the new party much negative attention.

Laws helped to popularise “migrant hunting”, a form of activism that involves filming and/or harassing refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. He began filming arrivals on the Dover coast in 2019, quickly gaining over 10,000 subscribers on YouTube. In 2020, he was found guilty of taking a dinghy without the owner’s consent, although the court discontinued the case after appeal. In 2021, Dover Harbour Board also filed an injunction against Laws for unauthorised dockside filming. 

He has since shifted to opposing all forms of immigration via a broad range of tactics, including leading a series of anti-migrant protests in Dover and Westminster alongside well-known fascists in 2023. He also stood for UKIP in the 2022 Southend West parliamentary by-election (following the murder of David Amess MP), and then for the English Democrats in Dover & Deal at the 2024 general election, receiving lamentable results in both contests. 

Laws is now best known for his X presence, boasting over 125,000 followers at time of writing. His output has become increasingly extreme, relentlessly pushing for the deportation of every non-white person from the UK, which in his definition includes the Jewish community. 

In 2024, he latched onto the concept of “remigration” – a euphemism for ethnic cleansing – and became its loudest British advocate. That year, he published a multi-stage “plan” to remove immigrants that combines state force with forms of harassment and intimidation, including blocking immigrants in the street, boycotting businesses and much else. 

Laws also gleefully egged on the riots that summer, posting (and then deleting) his support of racist harassment and violence. He was, however, sacked from his job booking cruises, with HOPE not hate’s articles used as evidence.

He has nurtured close links to overtly fascist organisations, including speaking at PA conferences in 2022 and 2025. In October 2024, he joined the Homeland Party after addressing its conference, becoming its South East Regional Organiser. He was instrumental in driving recruitment to the fascist party, which gained over 1,000 members over the next six months. 

Laws stood for Homeland in Folkestone East in the May 2025 local elections but received just 50 votes — one for every 2,000 of his followers on X. He also represented Homeland overseas, speaking at the Reconquista conference in Lisbon in November 2024, and accompanied the leadership to receive training from the AfD in Berlin in March 2025 and the Institut Iliade conference in Paris the following month. 

Laws’s uncompromising position soon brought him into conflict with Homeland’s so-called “sensible nationalists”, however, and in April 2025 he and fellow hardliner Sam Wilkes (AKA Zoomer Historian) quit Homeland in homophobic outrage, following the fleeting appointment of an organiser with an LGBT+ background. The split soon degenerated into public mud slinging. 

Unshackled by any concern for “optics”, Laws launched his own pressure group, Remigration Now, in September to push for “total remigration” of everyone with non-white heritage. So far, it consists of a few dozen members clustered in Telegram groups, and has achieved little beyond stickering and online sloganeering, although it plans to make its presence felt at street protests. The aim of the group is to drag the mainstream into ever more extreme immigration policy.

Towards the end of 2025, Laws reached a new degree of visibility. After being quote-tweeted by Elon Musk earlier in the year, his profile was further boosted by a series of media appearances on more moderate right-wing podcasts. Dubbed “Britain’s biggest racist”, Laws used these opportunities to push his uncompromising line. On the show of Tommy Robinson ally Liam Tuffs, he was asked his opinion on the Nazi regime, to which he answered: “If I was in Germany in the 1930s, I would have been straight behind them.”

On Hitler: 

Some good policies. I wouldn’t agree with everything […] He’s very much a misunderstood politician. I’d say a lot of the stuff that he advocated for in the German people would do wonders for our people right now.

And on the Holocaust:

I very much doubt the figures on that. I don’t think we should have to gas people. I just say remove them. This is my position. But I very much doubt the credibility of all that information.

In 2025, Laws became a vocal supporter of Rupert Lowe MP and signed up to Restore Britain after it launched as a political party in February 2026, telling his supporters:

“It’s not enough to just join Restore. You need to get out and campaign. Leafleting, door to door canvassing, help out with local and national elections and everything in between. Take the online momentum to the streets. Restore has given us the vehicle. It’s on all of us to secure the victory.”
