Restore Britain is a political party in the United Kingdom, founded and led by the politician Rupert Lowe. Initially it was created as a cross-party advocacy group, until it was reorganised into a political party in February 2026. == Background == Rupert Lowe was elected as one of Reform UK's five members of Parliament in the 2024 general election, representing the constituency of Great Yarmouth. However, Lowe was suspended from the party on 7 March 2025, after allegations of threatening behaviour towards the party chairman, Zia Yusuf, as well as alleged other incidents of threatening behaviour between December 2024 and February 2025. The allegations and Lowe's suspension both occurred on 7 March, just 2 days after Lowe raised concerns and criticised Nigel Farage on 5 March in a Daily Mail interview. Lowe and the seven members of his parliamentary staff denied these claims and said that he has desired to make an alternative to Reform UK. == History == On 30 June 2025, Lowe launched Restore Britain to advocate the deportation of all illegal immigrants in the United Kingdom, protecting British culture and restoring what it describes as "Christian principles". The launch coincided with that of the right-wing party Advance UK by another former Reform UK member, Ben Habib. Susan Hall, the leader of the Conservative Party in the London Assembly, joined the advisory board. After Reform UK leader Nigel Farage announced an independent enquiry into the grooming gangs scandal and did not follow through, Lowe crowdfunded £600,000 and announced his own enquiry, run through Restore Britain. This attracted the involvement of Conservative Party MPs Nick Timothy, Esther McVey and Gavin Williamson. On 13 February 2026, Lowe announced that Restore Britain will become a political party. As a result, Susan Hall and Gavin Williamson both left the organisation. On 15 February, Restore Britain announced its first councillor, Cllr Maria Bowtell, who had previously sat as a Reform UK then independent councillor on the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Habib has said he will consider a merger of Advance UK with Restore Britain. == Platform == Restore Britain has been described as right-wing and far-right. The group has attracted support from ethnonationalists. Lowe, has previously said that Nigel Farage was "watering down" Reform's policy on the deportation of illegal migrants. Many other principles of the organisation revolve around ending diversity programmes and "the cancer of wokery", as well as stating that Parliament is broken and ignores the people. Lowe has promised that a Restore Britain government would abolish Kosher and Halal slaughter. == See also == Advance UK, a far-right party that broke away from Reform UK == Notes == == References == == External links == Official website
