Rupert Lowe, leader of the Restore Britain party, has proposed a pact with Nigel Farage's Reform party, aiming to unite the "patriotic Right" for the upcoming election. The offer, however, comes with a set of conditions Lowe outlined in a social media video.
Lowe stated that for a common way forward to be found, Farage must agree to several key policies. These include mass deportations of migrants, both illegal and those perceived as not integrating, and reversing what Lowe described as the "Islamification of Britain." This would involve banning the burqa, halal and kosher slaughter, and cousin marriage, alongside efforts to prevent white people from becoming a minority by 2063.
Further demands from Lowe include a referendum on the reintroduction of the death penalty, significant cuts to welfare to achieve UK self-sufficiency, and the exclusion of former Conservative ministers like Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman from any potential Reform-Restore cabinet. Lowe asserted that if Farage is prepared to engage with "serious policies, serious reform, and serious government," then Restore Britain is as well, emphasizing that "millions of British people deserve a patriotic government."
Lowe, whose party previously impacted Reform's vote share in the Makerfield by-election, called for the leaders to set aside "personalities" and "past disagreements." He added, "Now is the time to put our differences aside and co-operate for the good of the country we all love."
However, the offer appears to have been rejected. A source close to Nigel Farage indicated that no deal is being offered to Lowe. Farage, in a statement, acknowledged that voters are considering their allegiances with a potential early general election, but maintained that only one party possesses the genuine possibility of delivering change. He affirmed his commitment to defeating the Left and providing strong leadership, stating, "I will never turn my back on my team."
