A New Far-Right British Party?

TL;DR

Restore Britain is a new far-right party positioning itself to the right of Reform UK, but polling suggests it poses little real threat to Farage.

Key Points

• 1.Founded by Robert Lowe, former Reform MP for Great Yarmouth, after he was expelled from Reform in March 2025 following allegations of verbal threats against a senior party member.
• 2.Policies include mass deportation of all illegal migrants within 3 years, abolishing the asylum system, a death penalty referendum, banning the burka, banning halal/kosher slaughter, and defining British identity by indigenous ancestry and Christian faith.
• 3.Notable endorsements from Elon Musk, Duncan Bannatyne, and John Cleese — but also Tommy Robinson and ethnonationalist influencer Steve Laws, figures Farage deliberately kept away from Reform.
• 4.Decentralized structure positions Restore Britain as an umbrella party for local right-wing groups, contrasting Reform's centralized control — though this mirrors "Your Party," whose same strategy caused damaging internal conflicts.
• 5.Minimal threat to Reform: A YouGov poll found only 1% of Reform voters feel the party isn't right-wing enough, while 7% think it's already too right-wing, suggesting Lowe's radicalism appeals to a tiny fringe.
