Rupert Lowe & Restore want you to think they are the "only ones" dealing with tough issues like the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs.
But this is classic Restore - it's all smoke & mirrors.
It is a lot of online buzz with not a lot behind the shop window (like many of their other policies).
Let me be clear.
Like 99.9% of British people, I want *every single* public official who turned a blind eye to the rape gangs sacked and if possible imprisoned.
I was also the first person in British politics to advocate for the deportation of dual nationals involved in the rape gangs (which later become official Reform policy at the 2024 general election - see below).
The truth is this.
The rape gang victims & their families will simply never get the truth & justice they deserve unless we (a Reform government) hold a STATUTORY government.
Only a statutory rape gang inquiry can legally force witnesses to appear, can compel organisations & people to hand over evidence, can punish with legal sanctions those who refuse to comply, can gain full access to witnesses & records.
Nigel Farage and Reform know this.
Rupert Lowe, instead, went for the quicker & cheaper option which got him a lot of online clicks, attention, and money but is much less serious.
Once you go down this path outside the Inquiries Act 2005 you simply do not have the serious statutory powers you need to get the rape gang scandal sorted once & for all.
If anything, Lowe is helping the establishment.
Now, there are still things that somebody working outside the Inquiries Act could do that's useful - like collecting all the testimonies of victims and making them publicly available.
But what it will 100% NOT be able to do is draw definitive conclusions, show you which institutions failed, show you who is responsible, and compel the evil people who allowed this to happen to speak before the British public (and suffer consequences).
Why do I draw attention to all this?
Because as with many other areas -- the borders, legal migration, deportations, etc. -- I care deeply about the issue but as with all things Restore I am sick and tired of seeing them pretend to be doing big, virtuous things while lacking the substance & detail to do them right.
Even worse.
Restore activists are now celebrating the fact they are potentially helping the VERY SAME LABOUR PARTY THAT IGNORED THE RAPE GANGS by campaigning in Makerfield, and possibly damaging Reform, which is the ONLY party that will deliver the full, statutory inquiry those girls demand and deserve.
That tells you all you need to know.
They hate Nigel Farage so much they would RATHER keep the same Labour Party that ignored & enabled the rape gangs in power.
It is classic Restore. And it is disgusting.
And when activists tell me "but we will deport anybody in Britain who knew about it" that is simply not true.
Rupert Lowe is consistently further to the Left than Reform on immigration and deportations.
Just read his interview in The Spectator a few days ago.
He could not even set out a comprehensive policy for dealing with the Boriswave (which Reform has). He said he "didn't want to get into the weeds" of policy.
Again, that is not good enough.
Rupert Lowe and Restore are non-serious. And Britain, the country we love and fear we are losing, simply does not have time for something that is non-serious.
They are not patriots who genuinely care about these issues. They are nihilists & kamikaze pilots.
Only Reform will bring truth and justice on the rape gangs.
Only Reform will deport dual nationals involved in the rape gangs.
Only Reform will impose full life sentences on rape gang criminals.
And only Reform will release within 100 days of entering power every file, email, memo & record by government relating to the rape gang scandal over the last 40 years
Britain, the British people, and the victims of the rape gangs deserve so much better than this.
Vote Reform and let's get it done.
Properly.
“For Andy Burnham, Makerfield will be a stepping stone — but for me it's the only place I've ever wanted to represent.”
Robert Kenyon is our man to take on Labour. 👊

❌ Plaid Cymru can’t even say what a woman is.
❌ They’re pushing ideology over reality, and opening the door to puberty blockers for children.
❌ They’ve made their priorities clear and women and girls aren’t one of them.
➡️ Reform will protect single sex spaces.
➡️ Reform will save women & girls sports.
➡️ Reform will stand up for common sense.
Wales needs Reform. 🏴

Plaid wants to devolve immigration to Wales.
No prizes for guessing whether migration numbers would increase or decrease under a Plaid Welsh Government.
Vote Reform on May 7 to stop Plaid’s immigration surge.
Easter reminds us that even after the darkest days, light will always return. ✝️
A story of sacrifice, love, and new beginnings.
May this Easter bring you renewed hope, fresh strength, and faith for whatever lies ahead.
Better days are coming 🌷
It is a huge honour and privilege to have been chosen to be the lead candidate and represent @reformparty_uk Wales in my home of Monmouthshire and Torfaen - ‘Sir Fynwy Torfaen’. Thank you for all the kind messages of support, its much appreciated.
I, alongside a very strong team of candidates - huge congratulations to our Sir Fynwy Torfaen @RUKWales Team - Stephen Senior, Bob Blacker, David Rowlands, Mark Urrutia, Gerard Hancock 👏🏻 - and the BEST Branch in Wales Reform UK - Monmouthshire and Torfaen , look forward to leading us to victory here in Monmouthshire and Torfaen, in this pivotal election.
We HAVE to WIN. We HAVE to take back our country, and put Welsh families first.
We have a plan to make Wales thrive again, to ensure that every child has the best education, to provide jobs and opportunities here in Sir Fynwy Torfaen and here in Wales. We will reindustrialise, and get rid of these ridiculous net zero targets. We will listen to and support our farmers and rural communities, not punish them. We will get Wales moving again and attract inward investment, by getting rid of default 20mph and open up Wales for business again, whilst making our residents lives easier too, by finally building that M4 Relief Road and by fixing our roads. And we will reform our failing NHS, but keep it FREE at the point of use, as it is now and free prescriptions, and ensure that people get the timely care that they deserve.
We cannot let these anti-motorist, anti-women, pro-immigration separatists in Plaid win. I for one, do not want my children growing up in a Wales led by them. They’re dangerous. Labour and the Tories are dead. Voting for them is a wasted vote. This will be a two horse race, Reform v. Plaid.
This is an historic election.
After 27 years of Labour, propped up by Plaid, failing Wales and failing Monmouthshire and Torfaen, it is time for change and to right those wrongs. Reform are a Party for all of Wales, and we will deliver for the real change that people so desperately want and need.
Together, let’s return the brilliant and very capable @DanWalesReform Thomas as First Minister and a REFORM Welsh Government on May 7th!
🏴 For our Families, for our Communities, for our Country ..

In the last week, the parties of yesterday have launched their Senedd campaigns.
Labour, Plaid and the Tories have wrecked our public services.
It’s time for new solutions.
Tomorrow, Reform Wales will outline a credible and ambitious plan for Wales’ future.
