Far-right Welsh activist leaves UKIP
Martin Shipton
One of Wales’ most notorious far-right activists has left UKIP amid internal rows within the party, we have been told.
The departure of Stan Robinson – who with convicted fraudster Dan Morgan – runs the racist, so-called Voice of Wales group in Swansea and Llanelli – leaves UKIP without any significant organisation in Wales.
In recent years Robinson has stirred up racial hatred against asylum seekers in Llanelli, made repeated outrageous statements such as advocating that the TV journalist Adam Boulton should be castrated with a rusty blade and subjected a local journalist in Llanelli to vile harassment on the street.
‘Tommy Robinson’
He and Morgan are close associates of the criminal far-right activist “Tommy Robinson”, who is currently on bail and under investigation for an alleged serious assault at St Pancras International rail station in London.
Respected anti-fascist organisations like Searchlight and Hope Not Hate monitor the Voice of Wales’ pair’s activities, recognising them as a pernicious far-right menace.
The Muslim Council of Wales has described Robinson’s Twitter account as a “collection of hateful, bigoted and deeply worrying misinformation and conspiracies”.
He retweeted a message labelling migrants “parasites” who should be “arrested” or “shot” to “stop the invasion”.
In 2023 Robinson made an Islamophobic video in Swansea with leading figures on the British far right Anne Marie Waters and the former BNP organiser Eddy Butler.
Robinson also made unfounded claims about Muslims being behind a major knife crime and promoted bogus claims that people from Pakistan were responsible for the spread of coronavirus in Britain.
Brexit
UKIP is no longer the force it was when led by Nigel Farage in the period leading up to the Brexit referendum. It is now a fringe party of the far right.
In the July 2024 general election, Robinson stood as UKIP’s candidate, coming bottom of the poll with 600 votes.
But despite securing just 1.47% of the vote, it was UKIP’s highest percentage level of support in Britain in seats where Reform UK fielded a candidate. In the other 22 seats where UKIP and Reform both stood, UKIP’s percentage of the vote was just 0.33%.
In December 2024 Robinson became a member of the party’s national executive committee, as well as being the party’s spokesperson for Wales.
UKIP’s website now shows that he has relinquished both roles.
Trust
A source that monitors UKIP’s activities told us that there were concerns within the party about a secret trust fund controlled by party chairman Ben Walker, who was sacked as a magistrate after Nation.Cymru revealed that he had an undeclared conviction as a rogue builder.
A document filed by UKIP Ltd to Companies House describes Walker as a person with significant control of the party, adding: “[Walker] has the right to exercise, or actually exercises, significant influence or control over the activities of a trust, and the trustees of that trust, in their capacity as such, have the right to exercise, or actually exercise, significant influence or control over the company.”
Because the trust is a private entity, it has no legal obligation to file its accounts publicly
Our source that monitors UKIP told us there was concern within the party about Walker’s control of its funds via the trust, and that this was the main reason for Robinson’s decision to leave. There is a lack of knowledge within UKIP as to whether donations and legacies made to the party have been channelled to the trust rather than the company.
Reform UK
There will now be concern that Robinson will seek to join Reform UK. We recently reported how his Voice of Wales sidekick Morgan had been identified by the anti–fascist group Far Right Wales Watch as using the pseudonym Dewi Draig to run a “Reform Swansea supporters” Facebook group.
When we contacted Reform, we were told that it was not responsible for social media activity that it did not control itself. It offered no criticism of Morgan or Voice of Wales.

Can’t he just leave?
No. He must first be severely punished on earth before he progresses to hell.
Definitely a case of a rat deserting a sinking ship – and good riddance to the british fascist hatemongers that ukip have become. And if Reform now admit Stan Robinson into their ranks they’ll be committing electoral suicide in Wales. One correction folks – Robinson isnt Welsh (think he’s originally from Manchester).
Leaving Ukip doesn’t stop the poison and bile he pumps out. Given his chummy photo with Reform’s Gareth Beer at the Llanelli hustings he’ll probably get a warm welcome from Reform.
Electoral suicide? One can but hope.
Reform has rejected all overtures from Stan and his ilk.
UKIP too left-wing and woke for him?
The so called ‘Voice of Wales’ have been campaigning the last few weeks for Reform UK for the Llangennech & Bryn by-elections for County & Community Councils with their usual hateful and divisive style.
On the stump with Gareth Beer?
Mr Beer thinks both Johnsons are pratts. Even Dimblade Stan from Manchester must have worked that out by now!
A very disgusting Man!!!
You’ll change your tune when he’s Reform’s Head of Waleshire.
Pariah Stan will never be allowed into Reform any more than Convicted Morgan will. Those in Reform who’ve associated with Voice of Wails have had their cards marked.
Maybe Stan should apply for a job with SKY, shining Adam Boulton’s shoes?
They’ve had their cards marked for greater things? Perhaps they’ll join the rabble of others Reform have supposedly distanced themselves from but are using to say things the official party thinks but can’t yet say. A covert militant wing of Reform, if you will. One that officially doesn’t exist so the secretary can disavow all knowledge of their dog whistling.
UKIP still active ? How many splinters are there in the pile of rotting wood that is AngloBrit supremacist politics ? Commenters on here are getting very hot under the collar about these narcissists when they should be directing attention onto the multiple failures of our majority parties – all Unionists including Plaid – failure to construct and deliver responses to our failing country, UK and Wales.
Active? Haha. UKIP doesn’t exist. It’s list of claimed officers included the dead, those who’d left long before, even some shocked\angry to find their names. Some may be fictional!
UKIP claims a N.Ireland unit but all named officials are from and in England or Scotland. For the rest of the country, it claims 11 branches, counting the Scotland branch twice. All are fake.
All parties have internal rows but these are usually disagreements over ways of governing. When internal rows erupt in hate organisations, it is because hate is first and only. When a member of such an organisation spends every waking hour hating, that clashes with the next person who spends every waking hour hating and on and on it goes. Even the top end of Reform UK is disintegrating in front of us with hate eating away at it. I said hate will eat itself. It is doing – now.
This is about UKIP, not Reform.
A uniting factor is EVERYONE I mean EVERYONE hates Walker.
If Kathryn Simple isn’t already looking for a divorce lawyer, she deserves what’s coming.
Poor kids, as they grow older, they’ll learn everything.
Leave UKip. Wish he’d leave the planet to be perfectly honest. The further away the better. He serves no purpose in Welsh society. What a waste of air.
UKIP is a hoax run by a convicted conman. One cannot leave what doesn’t even exist.
Maybe a future government of an Independent Wales can deport him as an undesirable alien.
To where? We in England and Scotland do not want him! Enough UKIP rats and scammers here already, need to call in pest control.
These ‘libertarian’ conservatives literally are a bunch of cowboys. Yeehaw! 🤠
He’ll try joining Reform, get rejected, and then Voice of Wales will start shaming them AGAIN. Their fan base is enough to deter any party. They are all wackos like that Tessa Walters.
Reform blacklisted Stan and the rest of the UKIP rabble ages ago.
Rumour has it he’s sniffing around Habib’s Advance, haha.
Everybody who matters knows UKIP has for years been no more than a grift for the shameless and disgraced Walker to enrich himself.
A few crumbs make it to the grubby paws of Walker’s diminutive minion,Nick Tenconi, another convicted criminal – Threesomes, Onlyfans girls, savage beating an innocent from behind and kicking him when down, but now claims to be Jesus with a Loud-Hailer.
I’m not surprised it took Stan Robinson so long to realise what former Deputy Leader Rebecca Jane had told the whole world last year – UKIP is a racket run by Walker, to whom all the money goes, and he’s trying to bed the girls.
“On 26 June 2020 Stan published material suggesting SKY News presenter Adam Boulton “needed castration with a rust blade”… he is very, very dim.
