My Brakes Don't Work
Semantic Summary
Rachel Davies, operating the YouTube channel My Brakes Don't Work with approximately 23,400 subscribers, is a Greater Manchester-based auditor who was among the six Mancunian content creators arrested and charged following coordinated police raids in April 2026. Her arrest alongside Chris Messenger (English Ned), Kyle Clouston (KC Audits), Kelsea-Leigh Cunliffe (MKR Audits), David Casey (Davethemancpatriot), and Ricky Jones (Slick Tube) — reported by Searchlight Magazine — places her within a tightly clustered regional network that HOPE not hate describes as a "collection of Mancunian auditors who began mass-producing content during the anti-migrant protests of 2025." Davies brands her channel with a women's rights framing — her description reads "Women's rights globally, not just locally" — a notable positioning within a scene dominated by male creators, and her contact email associates her with the MKR Audits network. She was identified alongside Cunliffe in the Antifascist Research Collective's "YouTube Grifters" report and in HOPE not hate's auditor case file. Her content addresses "two-tier" policing themes, sovereignty concepts, and street-level documentary filming, blending auditor confrontational tactics with women's-rights rhetoric. Davies' place in the Manchester collective illustrates how the auditor phenomenon developed through local, city-based clusters of creators who attended protests together, cross-promoted each other's content, and faced coordinated legal consequences when police action came.
