@Essex_Patriot Masonic or not it shows a total lack of impartiality on the Speakers part - does he greet new MPs from other parties like this? Terrible optics
@PolitlcsUK@Telegraph So tech giants will move their businesses elsewhere - folk lose their jobs - shops cafes and hairdressers see customer numbers bomb - make it make sense
@danwootton Whilst this may wind folk up isn’t this just the ying to the yang vs gb news? Sky focusing on left wing viewer audience capture and GB news on right wing? If you don’t like either don’t watch it I guess.
@LeeAndersonMP_ I wonder if we’ll now finally see the end of this getting down on one knee at some football matches in England? Well past its sell by date and will be met by a lot of booing now I suspect.
@TVKev@NicolaSturgeon Maybe she should get hypnotised then to unlock her unconscious memory - she may be pleasantly surprised about all the nice gifts her husband bought for them
@PolitlcsUK So Hansard records all things said in HoC because they are public records of what our elected representatives discuss. Same should apply to electronic communications where they are related to government activities. They serve us and we have a right to know.
🚨The mask has finally slipped
Restore was never the “alternative” It is a Conservative funded spoiler operation designed to take down Reform.
Evidence has now emerged showing Tory peer Lord Agnew donated £20,000 to Restore.
The more you look at Restore Britain, the more it looks less like a political party and more like a one man grudge project fuelled by ego, social media outrage and personality cult politics.
Their two apparent policies?
1. Stop illegal migration.
2. Destroy Nigel Farage.
Well forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but stopping illegal migration is hardly a revolutionary political breakthrough. Reform UK has been leading that argument for years and now almost every major party has been dragged towards tougher positions because the public demanded it.
So what exactly is new here apart from bitterness and division?
Rupert Lowe once stood shoulder to shoulder with Reform members, activists and voters. Now he appears absolutely hell-bent on dragging the entire movement down because things didn’t go his way.
And when you look at his past behaviour, a familiar pattern emerges.
Southampton supporters will remember what happened when he was chairman there. The moment the board failed to back him, the funding disappeared and the toys went out of the pram. Sound familiar?
It’s the classic bully-boy tactic:
“If I don’t get my own way, I’ll take my bat and ball and go and play with different kids.”
Now we are seeing exactly the same behaviour in politics.
And then comes the mixed messaging.
Restore supporters spend all day online lecturing Britain about identity, culture and “Islamisation”, yet suddenly become very quiet when Rupert Lowe proudly posts photographs from his son’s wedding into a Muslim family where halal food was reportedly served.
Now let me make this absolutely clear before the keyboard warriors explode:
I personally have NO issue whatsoever with mixed-faith marriages, multicultural families or halal food options at weddings. Britain is full of decent, successful families from all backgrounds.
But if YOUR political movement is built around extreme rhetoric about banning halal practices and claiming Britain is losing its identity, people are obviously going to notice when your own family life doesn’t exactly match the message you are selling.
You cannot spend years throwing petrol onto culture wars and then act shocked when people point out the contradictions.
And this is the real issue:
Restore Britain is increasingly starting to look like an online cult.
A movement built on slogans, reposts and rage bait.
Huge promises.
No credible pathway.
No realistic structure.
No serious ground campaign.
Just endless attacks on Reform UK and Nigel Farage.
They promise disillusioned Reform members the earth knowing full well most of it simply cannot be delivered.
At some point reality kicks in.
Or to quote Monty Python perfectly:
“He’s not the Messiah… he’s a very naughty boy.”
And while all this political theatre goes on, the only real winners are Labour and the left.
Because every split vote, every ego battle and every vanity project only makes it easier for people like Andy Burnham to walk straight into Number 10 with an even more left-wing agenda than Starmer.
Britain needs serious politics.
Not online tantrums from people who mistake followers on X for a functioning political movement.
