The far right feels comfortable openly saying the most racist, extreme things imaginable and harassing left events in ways unseen in living memory — we desperately need an anti-fascist Labour Party to replace the current appeasement regime, writes ANDREW MURRAY

SIR JIM RATCLIFFE, a BBC News profile said in May, “champions the unloved.”
But fortunately for the Ineos boss — who is now moving to the tax haven of Monaco — few are more unloved than himself. Ratcliffe, Britain’s richest man, has amassed a fortune of £21 billion, according to this year’s Sunday Times Rich List.
Meanwhile, he is best known in Scotland for his savage union-busting campaign at the Grangemouth refinery in Falkirk. In 2013 Ineos hounded out Unite convener Stevie Deans, on the pretext that he had used his company email address to campaign for Karie Murphy’s selection as Labour candidate in Falkirk.
