The far-right group was deregistered in 2017 when it failed to renew its registration in time.

The far-right group Britain First has registered as a political party after its application was approved by the Electoral Commission.

Party leader Paul Golding said he was "ecstatic" and would start "building the electoral arm of our party".An Electoral Commission spokesperson said the party's application had "met the legal criteria". The watchdog assesses potential new parties to ensure they comply with legal obligations and that their proposed names, descriptions and emblems do not risk misleading or confusing voters.

Parties also need to show that their constitutions or membership policies do not breach equalities law. The Electoral Commission does not consider a group's political views when deciding whether or not to register a party.

I think Britain Nazi Party is more accurate.

Ficticious claims of anti semitism claims against labour only for them all to welcome a terrorist organisation, a member of which murdered jo cox?

Wahooooo 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

So they’ll be banned from Facebook and Twitter etc for their racist and bigoted views but entitled to spread their hate through an election broadcast on national tv… there’s something a bit wrong about that.

Wasn't Joe Cox killed by one of their supporters?.

In writing?

Sure Angela Rayner has a word for these people 😱

The years of hard left and recent shift of conservatives has paved this horrible thing to happen now.

A dark day for Britain...

Cable Street here we come.

And now lets play spot the racists in the comments section... but don't call them a racist because they don't like that.

i thought it was impossible to be more far right than the tory party Or have i been on twitter and the BBC too much?

would be easier if they just joined Johnson's Tory party.

It's taken them this long to find someone who can read and write to fill in the forms. And then they had to teach him not to use a crayon.

Tory Kingmakers. There to make fascism mainstream

Is Muppet Farage the leader?

Oh boy

This absolutely terrifies me.

FFS - they’ll soon be integrated into Boris’ government then..

Quite a few countries have these kind of parties even Finland. But they don't gain much backing.

Well done!I support the right wing.

wazzared

Good, we need parties to challenge the Tories & Labour to pull their socks up !!!

Look everyone, Fascists.. These were the people our Grandparents fought against and warned-us about, just using OUR flag this time.. 😀👍🇬🇧🤔😶🙄😔😔😔

Yeh those blokes are going to beh a headache now

When BBC call a political party far right, it’s just them letting us know how far left the BBC are. Might just be a Party who’ll speak for the silenced majority who have been cancelled by the BBC.

Crikey Oswald Mosely has gained a bit of weight.

They’re a Psyop controlled opposition even though they’re nowhere near being up there with the mainstream political parties

As one positive side effect (the only one) will this mean that at least some of the scummy followers will now be listed as members, and so their names and details be logged and known? Better they are outed than hidden. A dangerous group of foul dead heads.

Reminder, it's always ethical to punch a Nazi.

All down to the woke..it was only a matter of time..

A splinter that will still vote TORY Are you winding this up ? Should we be reporting this ? No one with a sane mind still watches yer Propaganda Switch aff the BBC

Jangan221 Not far right, just right.

That’s what the Trump party needs to do here in the states. That way we know who the fascists are.

AKA in Scotland the Conservative & Unionist party.

FascistBook censorship is straight out of its Nazi role model

artytrace It's always good to define an enemy, at least you know who you're fighting against

I had them registered as something I trod in.

You know, not that I support this type of people but, excessive political correctness will lead to things like this

Areas with no migrants are properly most deprived & dull..

When you think Brexit couldn't get any worse Chr15t04

😩

And you wonder why?

Oh, there they go: the Aldi version of The Peaky Blinders. Just what we fucking need.

Those ones vote for BrexitDisaster now they will 'eat' as politicians on people frustrations... I feel sorry for UK

I could now smell their breath They smelt of pubs, and wormwood scrubs And too many right wing meetings

Fascism on the rise again.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse 🙈

ukhomeoffice Hi I’d like to raise a concern for prevent

Ask them if only women have a cervix

Have they got any British workers for British jobs. But short at the moment

Farage in front row, I expect?

Just when you think the UK can't get any lower they allow a bunch of racists to become a legitimate political party

THIS GROUP BACKED THE TORIES IN 2019

I seem to remember videos of the Britain first protest and how hey need to uphold British laws. To start with there’s laws about wife beating, assaults and drug taking.

Uggghhh what do the potato heads actually want? Ahhhhggghh! What the fuck do they even want?

Good, now the British public will be able show them how little we want them in power by giving them a pathetic share of the vote

Far right news network BBCNews promotes far right extremist party BF in a vain attempt to make ToryScum look moderate.

Forgive me but is it a 'far right party' serious question. It's just I never know no more because if a party simply is against immigration it gets classed as far right by our shocking media.

Question. Why is multiculturism always seen as a positive? P.S. you can't mention the food

Let’s hope they take a few thousand Tory voters

I thought this was an illegal terrorist group - they literally murdered Jo Cox 😒

No place for them any more. Johnson's Government have filled that gap.

Oooooh flipping yippeeeee another bunch of them ,Britain first are they, somehow I think its me first and stuff any other way ,far right political partys usualy mean one thing and it won't be anything other than odd sounding racism and union jack nonsense ,why oh why .

'Party that failed to win any electoral seat or even keep a deposit re-registers' is hardly newsworthy. They're entitled to re-register and continue to lose elections if they wish. I look forward to seeing them pick up derisory votes wherever they stand.

Great news 😅😅 I can’t wait to see them running the country 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Will they do better than Count Binface🤔 It'll be close 😬

I thought they were a political party already? And then I thought they were disbanded? Fringe neo-fascists anyway. They won't win anything.

Republicanizing UK

This is what happens when the tories and Labour are just cheeks on the same arse.

As Angela rayner would say “scum”

Just what the UK needs another white supremacist political party......sad!

Just what we need. Can’t they do something useful like pick some strawberries or drive a lorry

Imagine still blaming immigrants for everything, just imagine how stupid you have to be to buy that old trope.

Flag shaggers unite!

Aren't they a prohibited group?

I'd rather piss my vote away for the greens at this rate than vote Labour. If they want to get in power they need to get rid of the hard left cranks and move more towards the centre staying just left of it , the UK has never had a far left or far right government and only elects parties that hover around the centre ground .

Olaf Scholz and centre-left Social Democrats narrowly win German election – videoThe centre-left Social Democrats party (SDP) have won the biggest share of the vote in Germany's national election, beating outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel's centre-right CDU in a closely fought race Well, in a way yes, because the SPD is now the strongest party. But, because of the way things work in Germany, it's still entirely possible that they will be out of the government, as a coalition still needs to be formed. Muhhahaha center left. This ist outside painting. scholz is a neoliberale corrupted man. cumex wirecard and wabobank. This is better than Luschet but in German. 'Es bleibt alles wie bisher' Scholz stay for no more climate change, no more social fairness and the black Zero. They might not be the governing party though, so the headline is misleading or badly researched (?) as you didn’t take the different system into account. A government will have to be formed by parties working together, it’s not the “the winner takes it all” system thankfully!
