Elon Musk Endorses Rupert Lowe’s New Political Party Restore Britain
Elon Musk has ditched Nigel Farage to back Rupert Lowe’s new party Restore Britain, pledging to “reverse” migration and toughen welfare and law and order. The Mail has the story.
Rupert Lowe, now an independent MP representing Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, has announced the launch of Restore Britain.
He originally set it up as a “political movement” after being suspended from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party last March, amid allegations he physically threatened then party chairman Zia Yusuf. …
Restore Britain has established itself as an umbrella party that will partner with locally-based candidates who are in alignment with the party’s wide-ranging Right-wing policies on migration, welfare, taxes and national identity.
The Tesla billionaire was among the first to endorse the party with a glittering post on his X social media platform that has been liked 145,000 times. …
Lowe, a businessman, farmer and previous chairman of Southampton FC, is expected to stand again for the Great Yarmouth constituency under the banner of Great Yarmouth First. …
Lowe announced the creation of the party with a seven-minute long campaign video published onto his social media.
Dressed in a wax jacket, Lowe spoke from his farm in Withington, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire – “because places like this represent what proper Britain is about”, he explained. …
On the issue of illegal small boats arriving in the UK, Lowe said Restore Britain “will not just stop mass immigration, we will reverse it”, before pledging that every illegal migrant would be detained and deported. …
His party would also “make our communities safe again for women and children” and would promise “a radical overhaul of welfare” and “suffocating taxes”.
Lowe also did not mince his words over how the party would “resist the relentless creep of radical Islam”.
He said: “That will mean banning the burqa, outlawing Sharia law, blocking cousin marriages and re-imposing Christian-based rule of law.”
Restore Britain would also support a ban on halal and kosher slaughter of animals within the UK.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Elon for buying Twitter and turning the tide on censorship, but I agree, as soon as he finds out he is not in charge he falls out and moves on.
I’m pretty sure the mainstream media and most of the people on other social media platforms are already quite happy to criticise Musk and expose any crimes he may have committed.
That is a lot of progress. I recall when I first laid out my beliefs about Musk, several years ago, it was a LOT worse than that. Time is a great straightener outerer.
I wonder if Elon Musk realises how much the Tory Party and Labour, in fact all the iold elites, will be cheering his decision. This will result in yet another small unsuccessful party run by a probable egotist.
It will not stop Reform but it might blunt their success.
It will open the Overton WIndow a bit, maybe allow Reform to be a little bolder, if they wish. Lets not forget that Reform have a reasonable chance of actually having to deliver their programme. Lowe has a lot of good things to say, but he wont be more than a sideshow, imo.
Is RL a team player? The old boy gossip (Radley, City, shooting, Southampton FC) is that he isn’t. I think he’s going a great job, has great ideas, and is probably our best parliamentarian at present, but can he grow a party now that Reform has already caught the zeitgeist? And is it a good idea to even try? I urge him to hold his nose and make it work with Farage…
Rubbish! English Patriot Rupert Lowe is the man to lead Britain back into sanity, not Nigel & his Muslim Vote Gang, nor Yet Another Pakistani Egotist Coattail-Rider Habib.
I met Rupert Lowe at a Brexit meeting in the West Midlands in 2015 and found him to be sullen and lacking in charisma. Luckily Farage led the charge and the Brexit Party achieved it’s goals. Any new party led by Habib & Lowe will have a Raving Looney feel to it.
Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧
There are plenty of people with “charisma”, but very few with COURAGE & INTEGRITY.
There’s not going to be “any new party led by Habib & Lowe”.
Unelected Coattail Rider Pakistani Habib can do whatever he likes, including joining as a member of Restore Britain, but Englishman Patriot Rupert Lowe MP would be completely mad to let him anywhere near the leadership, no matter how much money Habib offers.
Farage is undoubtedly a superb political campaigner. But when you lift 5he bonnet of Reform there is very little to see re a political philosophy from which to develop policies around. Habib and Lowe recognised this raised the issue privately with Farage then publicly and was subsequently thrown under a bus.
We do not have a Presidential system, we have a First Past The Post Party system, so irrespective of how much support Robert Lowe or Ben Habib get they can only win one seat each.
In order for Advance UK, Restore UK to be play any significant Part in a General Election they will need to build a significant infrastructure and be able to field hundreds of credible candidates and, Oh yes, a lorra, lorra, ££££££££.
That this is fragmenting the Right isn’t true and that it will harm Reform UK is unlikely.
What it will mean is that voices on the Right, other than Reform UK, will be able to say things more explicitly than Farage & Co can who have to avoid being called Raaaaciiiists! and literally Hitler and Nazis – which will be what most of the population think and agree.
It will, I think, unify the Right and since Reform UK is the only viable national Party on the Right, it will help rather than hinder come voting time.
I tend to agree. It will also allow more “right of centre” voices. I wonder if the BBC will invite Lowe onto QT (not that I watch it). They have leaped at the chance to get the Green Party/Polanski on.
BBC Question Time? Isn’t that the one that invited English Patriot Nick Griffin in 2009, and packed the studio audience with Rabid Communists & Third World Ethnics, who all launched into a verbal mob attack, shouting down the invited guest and not letting him speak or get any points across?
Rupert Lowe MP should tell them to get stuffed.

I think Rupert Lowe said he did not have the jab and that there should be a proper investigation into the jab and excess death. Nigel Farage- what has he said?
What went before is an indication of character, judgment and the ability to make the right choices when it really matters. “Covid” was a test that most failed and about which few have honestly, publicly repented regarding their choices. I cannot ignore that.
Farage who wanted to put Blair in charge of jabbing the nation out pushing the Covid bashing pans for the NHS propaganda.

Let’s emulate the Left and try split the vote some more, why not…… sigh.
Lowe says what we all think however he says too much that the average Joe isn’t ready to accept yet, and won’t get the vote of more 10% of the populace, which is why Reform’s rhetoric is much more nuanced.
It’s sort of amusing to me to read on here comments defending the importance of having a vibrant democracy that represents the people, etc.. and then when someone starts doing exactly that and sets up a party that apparently more closely aligns with his interests and those that think like him, see him denounced as a nuisance.
It seems to me that when people call for more democracy, they’re not advocating for democracy so much as for things to go the way they want.
I’m happy to openly say I’m against democracy except within some very narrow boundaries, which are big majorities for anything to be enacted and a very limited scope of action. In everything else, we should be left alone to get on with our lives.
I’m sure you will still be very amused when we end up with an even worse far left coalition because the right wing vote was split. The left always unites then falls apart in office, the right don’t join forces and lose.
Reality is to actually be able to DO something, you have to win an election first… this is usually won by winning the middle ground in our system. I hope Farage has been playing the game he has on this understanding, and is not just another globalist in disguise… time will tell.
My vote is for the Judean People’s Front. Or was it the People’s Front of Judea… I get them mixed up…

This is wonderful news— Elon Musk backing the right man at last: Rupert Lowe, Farmer, Businessman, Football Fan, MP, whose launch video is absolutely superb!
I loved that peaceful little stream winding through the pasture on his property. There’s something particularly English about streams like that, because it seems to me that the streams of Wales are more wild and tumultuous, and those of Scotland, too, with dangerous bogs. I don’t know about Northern Ireland streams, and the only time I visited Dublin decades ago, the only thing I noticed was all the shabby women sitting on the bridge over the main river, using children to beg for money from passersby. It is my abiding memory of Dublin.
The thing is that Trump has shown that not mincing words and not backing down can win.
So I wonder whether there is a part of the population that are afraid that Farage and Reform play it a little too safe and either try to have it both ways with some issues or don’t stand with enough conviction.
An example that cones to mind is NetZero. They say they are against it and want to end it, but they don’t go in hard and tackle the root issue which is that the man made climate change story is BS.
Trump doesn’t mince his words. He says outright it’s a hoax.
I think that perhaps sone of the British public want to see this kind of conviction.
You have really nailed it, right there! That’s why J.D. Vance sent such seismic waves through the UK & EU, when he blasted all those governments for suppressing Freedom of Speech. And now Marc Rubio is speaking out about the Third World Invasion, as in the DS article today. We just aren’t used to such Plain Speaking on this side of The Pond, and that’s why Nigel Farage was so wildly popular until he started backing down and selling out to Islam.
And that’s why Rupert Lowe is becoming so popular now, because he says what we are all thinking, he’s got a real plan and a great team, he promised not to allow any politicians to be selected as Restore candidates, and people trust him to stand steadfast and never back down. His video has now reached 20 million viewers this evening.
As I recall MAk has always been a massive bear on TSLA, and possibly by association on EM too?

I’m not sure Musk’s endorsement will be very beneficial. Most “ordinary” people won’t consider it a positive.
What it may do, since Lowe’s policies are more extreme than Reform’s, is (a) make Reform sound more “reasonable” and (b) give him cover to tack a little more to the Right.

Musk cannot be trusted. Ask President Trump. Why do you think he’s never stood in politics?. Bends with wind. His home country of South Africa has got FAR more issues than the UK and where is he?
Musk is the one who drew Trump’s attention to the plight of White South African Farmers, after which Trump announced a new programme of accepting them as refugees from the White Genocide being practiced against them.

To be fair, how ever highly one may think of musk we need to be careful along foreign billionaires to chime in on our politics. We think Soros should stay out, we must think the same.

Whose going to start a party up next?, as much as Rupert Lowe is a decent politician, he’s letting his ego get ahead of him, we should be joining together to get rid of Liebour/Torys, not assisting them and the “lunatics,sorry greens”.

Fourteen months from now, Musk ditches support for
ReformRestore and throws his taxpayer obtained grifted TSLA paper behind the Reinstate PartyThe guy is a liability.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Elon for buying Twitter and turning the tide on censorship, but I agree, as soon as he finds out he is not in charge he falls out and moves on.
Once you know WHY he bought Twitter, you learn that Elon Himself CARES NOT ONE JOT ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Why did he buy Twitter?
To control the debate about Tesla.
I.e. to censor people who were presenting the evidence of his crimes, day after day.
I’m pretty sure the mainstream media and most of the people on other social media platforms are already quite happy to criticise Musk and expose any crimes he may have committed.
There’s the problem, tho. They seem to love trying to expose him for crimes he has not commited, and are pretending to be blind about the ones he has.
I also had faith in our “free press”, once upon a time…
You’re being a bit enigmatic here. You can’t assume that we all know which crimes you know about.
They are all in his tiny mind….
No need to be all ad hominem. Make an effort to get to know each other, shall we?
There may be several reasons I don’t elaborate, and many will be reasons you’ll never dream of.
Sneer all you like and just how much can you deliver…..’eff all more than likely.
No need to be all ad hominem. Make an effort to get to know each other, shall we?

I am a fan of Rupert Lowe, but I suspect your analysis is right on the mark.
It will open the Overton WIndow a bit, maybe allow Reform to be a little bolder, if they wish. Lets not forget that Reform have a reasonable chance of actually having to deliver their programme. Lowe has a lot of good things to say, but he wont be more than a sideshow, imo.

Don’t you think, though, that a new true right wing party snapping at Farage’s heels will keep Farage to the Right?

You may not like this, but this is about what happens next, not raking the coals of what went before. Principles without Power is worth nothing.
What went before is an indication of character, judgment and the ability to make the right choices when it really matters. “Covid” was a test that most failed and about which few have honestly, publicly repented regarding their choices. I cannot ignore that.
👍👍👍
Farage said… “let’s make Tony Bliar our vaccine Tsar.”

But that’s what Rupert Lowe once said,
“We need a government that will
Put us first,
Defend our interests,
and Get the hell out of our way!”
I’m sure you will still be very amused when we end up with an even worse far left coalition because the right wing vote was split. The left always unites then falls apart in office, the right don’t join forces and lose.

Elon Musk endorsed Nigel; Elon Musk endorsed Donald. I would bet much on this endorsement lasting long.
Musk has proven to be volatile and fickle. An asset to no group, however well intentioned.
Another flash in the pan.
Wow, Rupert Lowe’s video has reached 19.4 MILLION VIEWS in only one day…
The thing is that Trump has shown that not mincing words and not backing down can win.

Totally agree 👍
Trump correctly calls Net Zero a scam.
Thank you Elon Musk …now we can have a lot more hope.
