It’s no longer about Covid. It’s about freedom, democracy and the future we bequeath to our children.

Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJRupert Lowe is “addressing that directly” because everybody is starting to realise what is going on. And he can’t ignore it anymore. The “we will never work with the Tories” young boys in Restore are being led by a leader who is *literally* working with the Tories. They are either too dumb to see it or they are playing the game. The Tories are encouraging Restore while targeting Lib Dem-facing Tory seats because it is *a deliberate strategy*. Tories know Restore will not win a single seat outside Great Yarmouth. So they are using Restore to try and cannibalise Reform thereby allowing the Tories to remain dominant in exchange for … ?? The very young boys who think they are revolutionaries are actually preserving the status-quo. True story. Everybody in Westminster knows this is happening.

Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10'Conservative Friends of Pakistan' 'Labour Friends of India' 'Reform Friends of Israel' Restore Britain will not allow foreign lobby groups to operate within our party - promoting their own interests, shaping policy or dictating priorities. We will not allow it. We will put one group of people first, each and every time. The British people. Our name is Restore Britain. We exist to represent Britain and the British people. Nothing else.
Dominic Cummings @Dominic2306Totally memory holed including by the most pathological force in British politics for a century, the Tory Party. Moronic NPC Kemi-kasi described the Single Market as 'a free trade area' showing how her laziness and extreme uselessness means the entire Brexit debate for a decade passed her by in entirety. She was programmed by pre-2016 EU software and never got the NPC update patch. She was a clown minister who Sir Humphry easily tricked on everything they cared about - a perfect representative of the Tories for 30 years. She says the Boriswave happened because she and other Tory ministers "didn't notice" the numbers - DIRECT QUOTE!! No wonder 'morale has never been higher' in rancid Tory world and the Idiocracy tells you she's a serious character you shd trust. And if tempted to think Farage can turn things round... Remember, most voters have NO IDEA HOW MANY MILLIONS THE BORISWAVE WAS. SW1 has persuaded itself the public OVERestimate immigration but they massively UNDER estimate it. SW1 lives in a parallel world as always (and this is getting worse as the information ecosystem fragments, if you depend on Bluesky you wouldnt know 3rd generation migrants are torching France, youd think 'the real story' is white racism and it's 'smart politics for Burnham to rejoin without a referendum' etc). I described this in February and said - one simple goal for 'the right' is to communicate the numbers on the Boriswave, if you do this politics will change a lot. But 'the right' is such a farce the entire ecosystem has failed to do this ONE crucial thing. And you think they could deal with Sir Humphrey???! For 30 years, 'the right' has been total losers on campaigning and FOCUS. The Right is exactly like MPs generally: 100% inability to FOCUS on anything, 100% toddler attention span on whatever is leading 'the news'. Farage had one job. He failed. Escaping our nightmare requires new political leadership + new team + new campaign machine + new story facing the reality of our world and the reality of the electoral dynamics, info ecosystem etc. It is laughable to think Kemi-kasi or Farage could do this, they will both just bounce from studio to studio as pure NPCs...

Sly U @SlyForTheRight🚨 REFORM UK IS IN FREEFALL! THE NUMBERS ARE BRUTAL! The November 2026 English regional polling tracker is OUT, and Reform UK has managed to come TOP in just 1 of 9 regions! Compare that with MAY 2026, when they led in 8 OUT OF 9! WHAT A COLLAPSE! The popularity is SLUMPING. The policies are nowhere to be seen. Party representatives are COSPLAYING as Cabinet Ministers, and councillors are facing serious scrutiny. All that noise, all that hype, all those promises. WHAT HAPPENED? The numbers tell a story. Reform’s momentum is fading FAST. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING! 🔥
Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10How many MP signatures on my parliamentary motion rejecting slavery reparations/apologies? One. Me. It’s time for a new set of MPs.
Chris Stephenson @4sec7After three hustings, we in the SDP move towards the last couple of weeks of campaigning for the leadership of the Party. One candidate stands head and shoulders above the others. One candidate has the experience, the strategy and the ideas to build on what @WilliamClouston gave us, and to take us to growth. And with @ItsChrisBowden and William himself on her leadership team, @eleanorrofe also has the team to take the SDP to electoral successes.
David Betz @DavidBe31099196The Stupid Wars have to be stopped. The West’s elite is addicted to them. Wars with no purpose achievable by force. Wars which create more of the things they were supposed to defeat. Wars that teach the enemy to win. Wars with no objective even to which one can submit. I’ve read a thousand papers on strategy and have written several, all saying more or less the same thing: have one. Alas… Dear ‘national’ government, try this one simple trick. First, conceive of a nation. Second, ponder its interests. Third, act in them. That’s it. All of it.
Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10Iran has cost the Republicans far more than anyone expected. It was a catastrophic mistake. And if Reform or the Tories were in charge, we would have gone to war right behind them. On day one, Restore Britain said no. It was not right for the British people, and we were absolutely right to draw that line in the sand. The consequences of ANOTHER pointless Middle Eastern war have reached far into the homes of ordinary British families. The price of petrol. The cost of heating. The weekly food shop. The mortgage. The small business struggling to pay its electricity bill. YOUR life has been made so much more expensive by THEIR war. Every pointless escalation has made life more expensive for people who are already being squeezed from every direction. For what? To what end? What has this war achieved? Absolutely nothing of worth. Restore Britain said no. Not because we support the Iranian regime. Obviously that is not the case. But because the first duty of a British government is to protect Britain and its people. And that very much includes protecting British families from the economic consequences of wars that are evidently and clearly not in our national interest. When oil prices rise, families pay more to fill their cars. Those moving goods face higher diesel costs. Farmers pay more to operate their machinery. Businesses face rising transport and production bills. Those costs do not stay at the petrol pump. That gets passed on. EVERYTHING gets more expensive. It is always the same people who end up paying. It’s not the politicians making grand speeches about international leadership. It’s not the commentators demanding military action from the comfort of television studios. It is British mums and dads trying to stretch the wage for a few extra days. It’s the pensioner frightened to put the heating on. The young couple wondering whether they can afford a home. The small business owner calculating whether another increase in costs will finally force them to close. They have been handed another bill for someone else’s war - a war backed by everyone on the right apart from Restore Britain. Farage said this is the ‘right one’, and 'the gloves need to come off’. That is VERY easy to say from a GB News studio. A Restore Britain government will put the interests of its own citizens before the approval of foreign leaders. Britain does not need another foreign war. We tried that. It failed, over and over. The abuse I received from Reform politicians for saying so was extreme. They were wrong. The Tories were wrong. Restore Britain was right. We need cheaper energy, affordable food, secure borders. We need to control inflation. We need to make our economy deliver for working men and women. THAT is our aim. Not getting dragged into another pointless foreign war. Our loyalty is to the British people. Our responsibility is to British families. Our aim is to make life affordable again for our people. And our answer to yet another unnecessary war was no, and remains no. No more pointless foreign wars.
Restore Britain @RestoreBritainWho are you backing on the Iran war?
Molly Kingsley @lensiseethroughWoah. Pay for a single NHS exec in East Cheshire jumps from £172k to £377k in a single year despite the fact that for the second year in a row the trust in question ranks bottom in the league tables for A&E wait times. Clearly, this shouldn’t be possible yet it is just one small example of the type of mismanagement of public funds which typifies our broken public sector and its wanton disregard for taxpayer money, and for which the British people deserve accountability. Incidentally, when Kemi Badenoch told Camilla Tominey on GB News this weekend that she invited Rupert Lowe onto the Public Accounts Committee because “he turned up for work”, this is, presumably, exactly what she meant. It’s hard to see many other leaders of political parties poring over line items of NHS expenditure in such granularity yet it is exactly this level of scrutiny-boring, unglamorous, devoid of media grabbing soundbites- that we need more of.
Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10Holding the most senior NHS civil servants to account on failing executives receiving such outrageous salaries despite poor hospital performance. My view is to link the leadership pay to league tables and watch the overall scores fly up...

Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10On behalf of every British taxpayer in the country, I just gave the Chancellor and his pygmy ministers the honest assessment of our public finances. They did not like it.
David Goodhart @David_GoodhartWhat a depressing Labour u-turn on the extension of ILR for Boriswave care workers. It’s not just the huge cost heading our way, it’s the way that care workers are singled out for the sentimental treatment we usually reserve for NHS nurses. For our own benefit as a country we need the average carer to be better paid, better trained, and higher status (I recently wrote a book partly about this The Care Dilemma). But we don’t have to pretend they are all angels: there are some who are v good, most who are average and too many who are useless, as in any walk of life. The immigrant carers are coming here for a better life from poorer often failing societies not because they love looking after British people. In my own last hospital stay most the care assistants were Boriswave women, mostly from Africa - some decent some indifferent - but ALL spoke quite poor and v heavily accented English that was sometimes hard to understand and unless I spoke slowly and deliberately they struggled to understand me. This is obviously a sensitive issue that many people experience but don’t feel able to talk about (though it must be reflected in those low satisfaction surveys), partly because a carer has helped you when you are vulnerable and there is a kind of reflex gratitude even if the care has actually been a bit sloppy or incompetent (and you also feel you’re getting it free so shouldn’t moan, even if you’re paying more and more in tax). Yet it’s crazy that we are spending billions subsidising this when we could be using the money to incentivise British ppl, who speak the language fluently and understand the culture, to do these jobs.
