Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe launches new party
Rupert Lowe aims to field hundreds of non-establishment candidates nationwide, partnering with local parties like Great Yarmouth First and attracting support from aligned political groups.
- Rupert Lowe, former Reform UK MP now independent, launched Restore Britain as a national party in a Twitter/X video.
- Turning a movement into a party, Lowe says Restore Britain will find, organise and fund hundreds of candidates from outside politics, partnering with local groups like Great Yarmouth First.
- Over 5.1 million views on X indicate intense online reaction, while Advance UK announced a merger with Restore Britain, adding 40,000 members and dozens of councillors.
- Faced with criticism and a messy exit from Reform, Lowe's critics include senior Tory figures like Susan Hall and Sir Gavin Williamson, who are ending or expected to end their involvement with Restore Britain.
- Polling shows about 9% would back a Lowe-led party, and Lowe will stand again for the Great Yarmouth constituency with local partner Great Yarmouth First, targeting the next general election.
