Sabby Dhalu added: "Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s recent humiliation at the polls in the North West after a vibrant campaign by anti-fascists shows the overwhelming majority of society opposes his racist, divisive agenda. But there is no time for complacency – his attempts to mobilise on the basis of hatred and division will find purchase as long as the Islamophobia of Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and others continues to be peddled. We have to unite both against the far-right and the racism that feeds them."
