What we've achieved so far

Latest reaction and reaction to the Big One

Media insider: “don’t underestimate how much has changed and is changing in newsrooms because of XR. Journalists are waking up and it’s not comfortable, but change is happening.”

MPs re The Big One: “LOTO (Leader’s Office) were really caught out. They didn’t see you as capable of switching up your tactics and they definitely didn’t think any mainstream groups would ever be caught dead with you”

“You’re supposed to be extremists. Much harder to argue that with some of these groups backing you.”

“Tearfund??!!”

Civil service: “Helpful to have a feeling of, this is not ok and we all know it, so what are we going to do? We felt that we were brought into that conversation”

“Really useful that XR shows a willingness to re-evaluate and shift direction. It’s acting as a proposition, that we do all need to be involved in this, it’s not about the usual agendas”

“Something quite unnerving about XR being unpredictable. We had looked at you and thought, we get it, interesting, useful. But we get it and we can figure out a response. Now it’s more, we don’t know what you’ll do next. We can’t plan for that.”
