The leader of Restore Britain<\/a>, Rupert Lowe, has extended an olive branch to Nigel Farage, saying the two should put \u201cpersonalities and our past disagreements aside for the good of the country\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lowe told the Reform UK<\/a> leader that if he was \u201cprepared to work together around serious policies, serious reform and serious government, then so are we\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a video posted on X, Lowe said: \u201cI 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The offer comes after Restore Britain placed fourth in the Greater Manchester mayoral byelection, where its candidate, Marlon West, took 8.7% of the vote. Reform\u2019s Sian Astley came second on 21%, behind Labour\u2019s Andy Burnham\u2019s successor, Bev Craig.<\/p>\n

Lowe was among five Reform MPs who entered parliament for the first time in the 2024 general election, representing the constituency of Great Yarmouth.<\/p>\n

The leader of Restore Britain was suspended in March 2025, when accusations emerged<\/a> that he had bullied staff and threatened chair Zia Yusuf, claims Lowe denied.<\/p>\n

Lowe founded Restore Britain<\/a> in February with backing from Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

Lowe asked Farage to put \u201cpersonalities and our past disagreements aside\u201d and he set five conditions for cooperation:<\/p>\n

Mass deportation of illegal migrants \u201cincluding women and children\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tougher rules on legal migration, a ban on halal and kosher slaughter, the burqa, cousin marriage and sharia courts.<\/p>\n

A referendum on the death penalty.<\/p>\n

Welfare cuts to fund \u201cself-sufficiency\u201d.<\/p>\n

The exclusion of former Tory ministers from any future cabinet.<\/p>\n

\u201cMass deportations must become a political inevitability,\u201d he said. \u201cThey must all go.\u201d<\/p>\n

He cited Reform and Restore\u2019s cooperation on Norfolk county council as proof cross-party working can succeed nationally.<\/p>\n

Farage framed the next election as \u201can existential fight to save the country\u201d and said Reform would need support beyond its own ranks to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand Reform UK will need the support of people from other parties, as well as millions who have never voted before,\u201d he wrote in a post on X. \u201cThat is the broad coalition I am building.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that Reform has \u201calways been open to anyone\u201d who shares its aims on borders, the economy and democracy, but added: \u201cI will never turn my back on my team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farage is fighting a byelection after resigning his seat of Clacton. All other mainstream parties have declined to stand a candidate against him, though there are 34 independents on the ballot paper, including novelty candidates such as Count Binface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The leader of Restore Britain, Rupert Lowe, has extended an olive branch to Nigel Farage, saying the two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":725305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-725304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=725304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/725305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=725304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=725304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=725304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
