On Sunday, Restore Britain leader, Rupert Lowe, published a public appeal to Nigel Farage, of Reform UK. The message was superficially a request for the two parties to work together. It didn’t take a genius to spot that Lowe was actually trying to put himself in the driving seat, though. While this obvious ploy was apparent to most, it seemingly wasn’t apparent to many Reform UK supporters. As such, Farage has had to reply, and he did so with a mealy-mouthed response which has been interpreted very differently by different people. The next election will be an existential fight to save…

The UK has had several big by-elections over the past 12 months, with Reform UK underperforming in all of them. In the most recent, Reform’s underperformance wasn’t the only story; there was also the emergence of Restore Britain. Now, Restore leader, Rupert Lowe, has called for something of a cooperation pact between the two parties. What’s really going on here? The Greater Manchester result showed what Restore Britain can deliver. The next step is how we maximise the chances of delivering the change Britain needs – it means putting personal differences aside. That is why today I am making a public…

Rupert Lowe has branded Manchester city centre and diverse cities across the UK, “third world shithole[s]”. While this sort of talk is common from Restore, you’d think the party would have the sense to tone it down a bit while running for the Greater Manchester mayor position. Go and look at that video of Restore Britain’s Greater Manchester mayoral candidate, Marlon West, walking around Piccadilly Gardens late at night. It’s just disgusting, honestly. What a vile place. Let’s call it what it is. A shithole. A third world shithole. And it’s not… — Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) July 14, 2026 Rupert…

Rupert Lowe is the leader of Restore Britain – a Reform UK breakaway party. The important thing to know about Lowe is that he doesn’t just want to break away; he wants to break the party entirely. Or, to be more accurate, he wants to break its leader – Nigel Farage. And now he has a plan to do that: Rupert Lowe said he is going to end Nigel Farage’s career and will throw everything he has at doing so. He said that if the House of Commons Standards Committee inquiry into Farage over the £5 million leads to a suspension…

Rupert Lowe’s reach on X eclipses that of Nigel Farage — and all thanks go to Elon Musk

Research from the Financial Times indicates that Rupert Lowe — founder of the extreme-right Restore Britain — has more reach on social media platform X than Reform’s Nigel Farage. In large part, Lowe owes his success to billionaire Elon Musk, who bought out Twitter in 2022 (and then had a highly public fallout with Farage in 2025). Since launching Restore back in February, ten of Lowe’s X posts have received over 10-million views. Meanwhile, whilst Farage has over three times Lowe’s follower count, none of his posts have reached a similar mark. Whilst Restore currently consists of — in Farage’s words —…
