Reform UK are hoping to gain ground here in Durham on May 1st. But local voters deserve to know who’s standing, what they believe, and what they’re really about.
We’ve uncovered candidates in Durham who have shared conspiracies, misinformation and far-right content online, including posts defending Tommy Robinson and pushing racist narratives. We can’t afford to let this go under the radar.
Just one conversation could change someone’s vote and affect the result in Durham. Use the tools below to get the facts out there, in your group chats, local Facebook groups, or face to face in your community.
The far right know how powerful everyday conversations can be. Whether it’s online or face to face, they use local Facebook groups, WhatsApp chats and word of mouth to quietly spread division and distrust.

Top Tip: it’s not about winning arguments
Reform UK rely on people staying quiet. But one honest conversation, online or offline, can break that silence.
You might not change minds overnight. But you can raise questions, plant seeds and help people see what’s really at stake. It’s not about arguing or throwing information at people, it’s about opening a conversation that might shift how someone sees things.
Remember the goal isn’t to win an argument, it’s to make someone think twice.
