Rupert Lowe MP, ousted last year from Reform UK following a spectacular falling out with Nigel Farage, has re-launched Restore Britain, turning his erstwhile ‘political movement’ into a fully fledged political party, positing itself as the purer, ‘patriotic’ alternative to the supposed sell-outs and subversives around Farage.
Restore Britain is what happens when you confuse online buzz with actual electoral support. Just as a decade or so ago, the left convinced itself that Twitter was Britain, only for 14 years of Tory rule and Brexit to ensue, now Very Online rightists with more mobile data than sense are making the same mistake on X. They have memed themselves into believing that not only will Restore Britain make inroads at the next election, but also that Rupert Lowe could be our next prime minister.
...
The critique, such as it is, goes something like this. Reform is soft on illegal immigration, despite pledging to deport up to 600,000 illegal migrants in the first parliament alone. It is also soft on radical Islam, purely, it seems, because British Muslims – like Yusuf and London mayoral candidate Laila Cunningham – hold prominent roles. That both Yusuf and Cunningham support banning the burqa, and are vocal critics of Islamic sectarianism, isn’t enough for those who want Muslims, regardless of their views, banned from office.

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.
This is my interpretation too.
Farage just said there are 11 parties claiming to be on the right in the UK but only ONE that can form the next govt’
He said he had to get rid of Lowe because he was advocating the deportation of settled communities/immigrants. He says beyond X he’s not a factor.
Interesting
So Farage won’t deport Muslims who are settled...
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.
Meanwhile...

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.

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
