Restore Britain is a far-right[2] political organisation in the United Kingdom, founded and led by the former Reform UK politician Rupert Lowe. It was officially announced on 30 June 2025 and advocates for the deportation of all illegal immigrants, protecting British culture and restoring what it describes as "Christian principles".[3]

Background

[edit]

Rupert Lowe was elected as one of Reform UK's five members of Parliament in the 2024 general election, representing the constituency of Great Yarmouth.[4] However, Lowe was suspended from the party in March 2025, after allegations of threatening behaviour towards the party chairman, Zia Yusuf, as well as alleged other incidents of threatening behaviour between December 2024 and February 2025.[5] Lowe has vehemently denied these claims and claimed that he has desired to make an alternative to Reform UK.[6][7]

History

[edit]

Restore Britain is a movement associated with a limited company, Restore Britain Ltd.[8]

Lowe has stated that the organisation's policies would eventually be decided on the principle of direct democracy, based on votes by members.[9]

Susan Hall, the leader of the Conservative Party in the London Assembly, joined the advisory board.[10]

Platform

[edit]

The platform of Restore Britain largely rests on immigration policy. Lowe, having previously said that Nigel Farage was "watering down" Reform's policy on the deportation of illegal migrants,[11] has stated in the Restore Britain manifesto that they must "defend" Britain from "illegal migration, Islamist extremism, and foreign crime gangs threaten our safety", including the deportation of all illegal migrants currently residing in the UK.[12]

He has also stated that "Migrants didn't build this country — Britons did. Stop apologising for it," saying that Britain should be proud of its history and Christian values. The principles of Restore Britain also state that "Mass immigration has left communities unrecognisable. Multiculturalism has failed, and division has grown."[12] The organization's website promotes "net negative migration" and states that, "The Boriswave must be reversed, and the asylum system must be abolished."[13]

Many other principles of the organisation revolve around ending DEI programmes and "the cancer of wokery", as well as claiming that Parliament is broken and ignores the people. Lowe also calls for holding local institutions accountable, reducing unemployment by slashing benefits and cutting taxes.[12]

Reactions

[edit]

Elon Musk, who previously endorsed Lowe to take leadership of Reform after a short feud with Farage regarding Tommy Robinson, openly endorsed Restore Britain.[14] Musk replied to Lowe's announcement on X with two Union Jack emojis, to which the Restore Britain account quote tweeted the reply with the caption, "Elon agrees".
