Tommy
Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) announced in August 2025 that he had
joined Advance UK, a new far-right political party.
Key
details regarding Robinson's involvement with the party include:
Leadership:
The party is led by Ben Habib, a former Deputy Leader of Reform UK who left
that party after clashing with Nigel Farage over its direction and structure.
Ideology:
Advance UK positions itself to the right of Reform UK, advocating for
"harder lines" on immigration and "mass deportations".
Robinson described the party as a "political home" for his cultural
movement.
High-Profile
Support: The party has received public backing from Elon Musk, who declared his
support in August 2025 and criticized Nigel Farage as "weak sauce".
Growth:
Following Robinson's endorsement, the party reported its membership grew to
over 37,000 by November 2025. It was officially registered with the Electoral
Commission on December 4, 2025, allowing it to field candidates in elections.
Events:
Advance UK was a sponsor of Robinson's "Unite the Kingdom" rally in
London on September 13, 2025, where Habib was a featured speaker. An official
party launch in Newcastle later that month was cancelled by the venue on
"health and safety grounds" following protests.
Robinson's
move to Advance UK followed a public fallout with Nigel Farage, who has
consistently distanced himself and Reform UK from Robinson's activism
