UPDATE: Rupert Lowe's Reform olive branch torn apart with 11 words as Farage ally hits out
Express ^ | Aug 3 | Express

Posted on 08/03/2026 10:06:52 AM PDT by RandFan

Rupert Lowe has been slammed with appeared to offer rival Nigel Farage an olive branch yesterday to end their bitter feud. The former Reform UK MP, who set up Restore Britain after a dramatic bust up, said millions of people "see a patriotic right hopelessly divided".

Mr Lowe, the former Chairman of Southampton FC, said he was willing to put their differences aside and work with Reform UK again - if five demands were met. He called for Britain's immigration crisis to be "reversed", for "demographic security", a referendum on the death penalty, "restoring a self-sufficient Britain" and boosting faith in politics.

But an ally of Mr Farage has accused Mr Lowe of seeking "relevance" because Restore Britain is not proving popular enough.

Gawain Towler, who sits on Reform UK's board, added: "We should be clear about what happened this morning. A man of sixty-eight, a man elected twice on the coattails of Nigel Farage, who has spent eighteen months declaring that his purpose was the destruction of Nigel Farage, has looked at 8.7% in a nationally ignored by-election and concluded that his moment is now or never."

Mr Towler said Restore has some policy positions that Mr Farage would never accept - such as banning Kosher food.

This is pretty much the end for (formerly) Great Britain.

He's trying to divide the opposition to leftist policies over that?? Sounds like a nut.

As long as he also bans red meat on Fridays!

Seriously: The proposed ban probably refers to school lunches, prison food, etc.

Regards,

No Lowe views both Kosher & Halal slaughter as barbaric unnecessarily cruel and should banned.

They are, whats the point. Im not claiming that ramming a spike in their head and hanging them up while they are still kicking is particularly humane, just a margin better. Its just quite simply that animal sacrifice regardless of who is doing it is ridiculous and primitive. The ones around here most upset about the kosher ban are also the ones that will be the most hysterical when the satanists come up with a ritual requiring smashed rats at the grocer.

The more I see stuff like this, the more I think that Farage is a puppet of the UK Deep State. His job seems to be to make sure the political Right gains just enough popularity to keep the Deep State parties in power, but no more. Reform + Restore could actually become a governing coalition, so Farage must make sure that never happens.

Once you see that both Farage and Tommy Robinson are gatekeeping and containment, you are almost there.

Lowe himself is still half Boomer, still worried about “racism” etc. just won’t let the left define it.

Fact is, nothing is going to happen via the political process with fake-ass politicians and their “Parliaments” and elections and all.

That Regime and all the Regimes of the West are going to collapse, and when that happens a small Vanguard group which is well organized and knows what it wants may well take over (eg. Lenin)

Are you sure it isn't that it's rather a case of him not wanted Halal and Kosher only dietary requirements enforced and shoved down the throats of the formerly free British people?

Because I'll bet that's what it is.

Hitler had a large well organized well financed group. And he didn’t collapse the Regime, he took it over.

Lenin arrived on the train with ~40 people after the Tsar had already been overthrown.

But even that was exaggerated, as Lenin wanted non-Communists on the train for optics.

He had ~10 actual communists with him.
