Jayda Kaleigh Fransen (b.

In 2020, she established the British Freedom Party. She has led the Christian Nationalist Party since 2025.
Since the 2023 attacks, Fransen has also been critical of Zionism and the state of Israel. Some critics have accused Fransen of antisemitism.
History
On 9 May 2019, Fransen was punished for exercising her right to free speech. Fransen was sentenced to 180 hours of community service for a speech in Belfast criticising the political philosophy Islam, of which no violence occurred as a result.
In May 2021, Fransen endured bullying from Scottish far-left dictator and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, who falsely claimed that she was a "fascist" (despite Sturgeon's own party's links to Nazi Germany) and a "racist".[2]
On 26 June 2023, Fransen commented on LGBT+ agenda mercenaries advocating abortion during the "Pride Month" demonstrations, describing them as "the pro-murder squad" and commenting that LGBT and abortion have the same effect of low birth rates.[3] Fransen has been accused of antisemitism, promoting "theories."[4][5][6] Since the October 7 attacks in 2023, Fransen has also been increasingly vocal of Israel.
Political positions
Fransen is a fervent critic of Islam and what she calls the "Islamification of Britain". Fransen was arrested in Belfast for calling Islam the "biggest threat against the entire world".[7]
Fransen is strongly opposed to abortion and euthanasia.
