I have to admit I'm confused as well because Lowe is all over twitter it seems but that's because he's being boosted by the biggest account on twitter - the owner! - It doesn't mean he has popular support that Farage and Reform has who still lead the polls.

It'll be interesting how things develop.

Reform had 10% of the electorate on the day it was declared. I think Tom’s wrong about this one. I don’t know if Reform can win but they’re tied with the Lib Dems already. ie they have very real and significant political support in Britain.

Lowe provides the solutions that Farage won’t. But Realpolitik being what it is, he has no chance of winning or governing. Only handing victory to Labour.

The UK’s Deep State just did a u turn on cancelling those local elections within a day of Lowe’s Restore announcement on X, which last I checked have over 36 million views and a Elon Musk’s attention.

Better Farage and Reform, the UK’s version of our GOP.

The Ministry of Justice has ordered Courtsdesk to delete its entire archive.

When Courtsdesk asked for the matter to be referred to the Information Commissioner, no referral was made.

They wrote sixteen times asking to discuss it.

Labour’s response? Delete everything.

Hmm, I wonder why some people think of Nigel Farage as a quisling.

Rupert Lowe wanted to deport rape gangs and the communities who protected them

Nigel Farage has just admitted on stage in front of thousands that he got rid of Rupert Lowe from Reform and made false claims to the Police about him because he wanted those gangs to stay in the UK
