Rupert Lowe Urges Nigel Farage to Work with Restore Britain, Sets Conditions

Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain, has extended an offer of cooperation to Nigel Farage, urging him to set aside personal differences and past disagreements for the perceived good of the country. Lowe stated that if Farage is willing to collaborate on "serious policies, serious reform and serious government," Restore Britain is too.

“

I truly believe there could be sufficient common ground for our two movements to cooperate collectively, destroy the looming leftwing alliance that will finish off what hope remains for this country.

In a video message, Lowe expressed his belief in sufficient common ground for their movements to unite, aiming to counter a "looming leftwing alliance." He argued that failing to attempt cooperation due to personal issues is unacceptable and that now is the time to unite for the nation they both claim to love. This offer follows Restore Britain's fourth-place finish in the Greater Manchester mayoral byelection, where their candidate secured 8.7% of the vote, compared to Reform UK's candidate who came second with 21%.

“

In my view, failing to even try because of our own personal difficulties is simply not an option. Now is the time to put our differences aside and cooperate for the good of the country that we all love.

Lowe outlined five specific conditions for collaboration. These include the mass deportation of illegal migrants, regardless of gender or age, and the implementation of tougher legal migration policies. He also called for bans on halal and kosher slaughter, the burqa, cousin marriage, and Sharia courts. Additionally, Lowe proposed a referendum on the death penalty, welfare cuts to promote self-sufficiency, and the exclusion of former Conservative ministers from any future cabinet. Lowe described mass deportations as a "political inevitability," stating, "They must all go."

“

Mass deportations must become a political inevitability. They must all go.

Nigel Farage, who is currently contesting a byelection after resigning his seat, framed the upcoming election as an "existential fight to save the country." He indicated that Reform UK would require support beyond its existing base to achieve victory, suggesting a need for a broad coalition. Farage stated that Reform UK has "always been open to anyone" who shares their goals on borders, the economy, and democracy, but reiterated his commitment to his existing team. Notably, all other mainstream parties have declined to field a candidate against Farage in the Clacton byelection, leaving him to compete against 34 independent candidates.

“

I understand Reform UK will need the support of people from other parties, as well as millions who have never voted before. That is the broad coalition I am building.
