Proud member of Restore Britain. We need to change the way we are governed. Uniparty politics are no longer fit for purpose.

@therminium @mcrstuart @Con_Tomlinson You're right certainly not in Makerfield. LIEbour selected it for a reason and the reason was he was unbeatable there and they knew it. Restore need to take the positives from that experience and we need to become a learning and listening party from now on if we want to progress!

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@Banksycat Well over the target with this but I can't bear to listen to his winey voice for a single second. He's a despicable human being.

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@realninawysocka Because they thought that will be the end of 2 Tier Queer! They don’t realise what they have let themselves and the rest of us in for!

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@DawntoDusk69 @RestoreBritain Followed and DM’d you 👍

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

Great post! Please share and repost!

[KC @kevcrab]

Four months old and already making history.

3rd place in Makerfield and more votes than the Conservatives, Lib Dems and Greens combined.

Thank you to everyone who backed Restore Britain.
This is just the beginning.

The momentum is real. 🇬🇧

Is this the future that we want? We need to wake up before the Britain as we once knew it totally disappears!

Andy Burnham’s new left wing path means higher taxes, more borrowing, more government spending, completely open borders, Net Zero, our country is in a desperate state already, his new left wing path will make it much worse. https://t.co/jDIWdd1YEK

@DawntoDusk69 Hi Dawn nice to speak with you. How's the branch going in Burnley? We have a branch in Ribble Valley that's picking up gradually.

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@FUDdaily They have 10 policies. Run your eye over these!

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@AliceBeddoes @FUDdaily That may be because the MSM are told to hate him with a passion!

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@MingNoMerci @RestoreLich More benefits or universal credit for the majority of them. Or anything that means they don't have to get off their sofa.

We must not let a “social media ban” become Digital ID by the back door.

Protect privacy. Protect the open internet.

@jk_rowling A vote for Andy on Thursday is another vote for this level of stupid. This level of stupidity is sub-cretinous and cannot be taught only ideologically ingrained like Blackpool Rock. In fact Blackpool Rock has more self-awareness and intelligence than this man.

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

Great level headed post! Many of us there yesterday would have had a similar experience. For me Makerfield was selected as the battle ground precisely because it’s a bubble constituency and largely unaffected by a significant immigration demographic they can easily ignore!

[Alex Clinton-Carter @AJClintonCarter]

My thoughts after a day on the doors in Makerfield.

I wanted to get involved and see things for myself rather than rely on the rumours, smears, and second-hand opinions. What I found was that Restore Britain is known on the doorstep, and people are willing to engage when you take the time to listen.

Many voters were clear about what they don’t like, but often hadn’t taken the time to research alternatives for themselves. Too many still place their trust in authority, legacy institutions, and the mainstream media rather than making up their own minds.

The conversations that stood out were with people who listened. Reform supporters often realised that much of what originally attracted them to Reform was Rupert Lowe. Labour supporters recognised that today’s Labour Party is a far cry from the party their grandparents voted for.

Of course, some people weren’t interested. That’s their choice. But cynicism has left many believing that all politicians are the same, which makes meaningful conversations harder. It’s a shame because politics should be about ideas, not blind distrust.

What struck me most was meeting the Restore members themselves. People from every walk of life, united by a shared belief that our country can do better.

Restore Britain isn’t just a political party or a movement. It’s people coming together to take responsibility for the future of our nation and to leave a country we’re proud to hand down to the next generation.

Our country. Our responsibility. 🇬🇧

@Jackie68797834 @InTheTrenchesUK Thanks I will👍

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@InTheTrenchesUK OMG Christian every single word bang over the target. The only worrying thing is how people like Lammy, Starmer and Millipede and the rest of the LIEbour front bench ever get returned by the electorate? Are we so politically dim that we can't see through these people time & again

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@JChimirie66677 Another illuminating and thoroughly depressing post Jim on the state of our nation. The only response has to be getting behind Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain if we want any semblance of the country we currently inhabit to remain. The Establishment will do everything to stop that

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

Thanks for this Jim. You have nailed it yet again. There's now now turning back. They have awoken the lion and it's filling it's lungs to roar. In another metaphor the genie is out of the bottle and it will never be put back in. The people running us are dead in the water.

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

They Broke It. Now They're Policing the Rubble.

A government document, leaked last week, contains a sentence that should stop every British citizen in their tracks. "For many living in the UK, the changes brought about by mass migration have been too much, too quickly, leaving people feeling as though they are losing their local and national identity." That's not a critic of this government speaking. That's this government, in its own words, in its own strategy document, admitting that millions of people who were branded racist for saying it were right all along.

Read that sentence again. Too much. Too quickly. Identity lost. The government knows. It has always known. And then turn the page, because the same document brands the Union Jack a potential tool of hate, creates an Islamophobia tsar, proposes a new definition of anti-Muslim hostility, and earmarks £800 million to manage the consequences of the policy it has just admitted was too much too quickly. The diagnosis and the prescription are in the same document. They point in opposite directions.

This is the two-stage operation the British public has been subjected to, and it's worth stating plainly. Stage one: pursue mass migration at a scale and speed that overwhelms housing, public services, school places and community infrastructure. Do this knowingly. Prof Alan Manning, former head of the government's own Migration Advisory Committee, has now confirmed publicly that migration was used to paper over economic failure; a conscious substitution of imported labour for genuine reform. The trade-off was understood. The warnings were issued. The decision was taken anyway.

Stage two: when the costs arrive: fractured communities, collapsed trust, sectarian bloc voting, parallel societies, antisemitism normalised in schools and hospitals, foreign conflicts fought out on British streets, reframe the native population's discomfort as the problem. Tell them their flag is a tool of hate. Tell them their concern about integration is extremism. Build a Prevent training course that classifies the belief that Western culture is under threat from mass migration as a subcategory of terrorist ideology, sitting alongside white supremacism and neo-Nazism. Not the policy that caused the fracture. The people who noticed it.

The British majority did not vote for this. They were not consulted. No manifesto proposed the transformation of their communities at this speed and scale. When they objected they were branded racist. When they persisted they were branded far-right. When they voted for parties that reflected their concern they were told they had been manipulated. And now, having absorbed all of that, they are presented with a social cohesion strategy that creates protected categories for the communities whose arrival caused the disruption, while treating the host population's identity as a sensitivity to be managed.

Religious leaders from Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh communities have already written to the Communities Secretary Steve Reed warning that the Islamophobia definition is so vague it could chill legitimate debate on grooming gangs, halal slaughter, gender segregation and face coverings. The Free Speech Union has warned that the Prevent definition of cultural nationalism is broad enough to capture the Prime Minister's own words. Starmer said without fair immigration rules we risk becoming an island of strangers. Under his government's own training materials, that sentiment is ideologically adjacent to extremism.

That is not irony. It's the logic of a political class that has run out of answers and reached for control instead. They made the choices. They deferred the costs. And now that the bill has arrived, they are telling the British people that the problem is not what was done to their country. It's their reaction to it. That is not a cohesion strategy. It's an insult dressed as one.

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@HeadWarriorTWM It's of the scale worrying phenomena at best.

[John Russell Fletcher Ribble Valley Restore member @Jonnydefleck]

@Gemrossi46 That's how it starts. A 100% commitment to total transparency. Without that we're just like the others.
