Restore Britain is just the “Your Party” of the Right, that’s obvious, but Farage could have worked harder to bring Lowe back into the fold. They clearly both have absolutely titanic personal egos.
Would like to apologise for previously being sympathetic to the Lotus Eaters - thought even if a bit intellectually lazy they were effective in keeping elements of the online right engaged with “content” - in retrospect just a liability; willfully attempting to damage Reform for what seems to be a fantasy Swindon is the revolutionary vanguard?
Come the general election many Restore and Advance supporters may not find there is a candidate from their parties standing in thoer constutuency. And those where there are candidates may not be persons one would want in Parliament. "Fantasy Football" politics is fun in between election but come the time to put a cross on a ballot then far fewer voters than polling suggests may sactually vote Restore or Advance. The majority of the "just about managing" may be risk averse about the economy. Meanwhile, fringe parties keep Refrom on it toes which may not be a bad thing. The biggest problem for the right is fatalism, apathy and a voting strike.
You are a long-standing fan of Farage. Nothing new there. But Farage is a snare and a delusion. A charlatan opportunist. Can't be trusted. Rupert Lowe is the real McCoy. Restore wlll scupper 'Deform',God willing! 😇
Nope. Farage is clear he will neither deal with Islam, or deport the thousands of girl hungry savages we keep taking in. Unless that happens, we are done for. Get real. Islam is colonising Europe. Ms. Ayaan Ali Hirsi is quite clear on that, and she should know.
Quran/Sharia bound Islam, stuck in the 11th century is completely incompatible with secular Europe.
“We don’t want to alienate Islam”. Idiot, the Quran is clear that it is already alienated from Christianity and Judaism.
Brexit swapped 2 million Eastern Europeans for 7 million Asians and Africans chiefly from the commonwealth. There is and cannot be a right wing party in the UK while that entity exists.
The problem with Reform, and Restore is that unsurprisingly everything is about immigration and very little touches on fiscal policy. Likewise, the calibre of most of Reform's group is questionable at best, while the Conservatives have typically had more people with much more robust CVs before getting into the job.
For instance, Tice suggesting consolidating pension funds to be used as a sovereign wealth fund is just incorrect, and his meetings with the Andrew Bailey to stop the BoE paying the bank rate is just silly. I have yet to see a fiscal policy that's credible, with the possible exception of restoring the two-child benefit cap.

I had this exact argument with a friend last week. Delighted to see someone articulate my thoughts better than I could.

Open letter to Pimlico: Utter shite.

In that case do you have an answer why he stood down in 2019?
Because the UK should trust the people who gave them Brexit.
All the problems that Reform is complaining about have gotten worse since Brexit.
Pity. Looks like we’re about to get a UK run by Starmer’s hard-left replacement, with Polanski as Deputy PM.

This FT article about Reform's experience managing 12 councils is concerning as well. I don't believe parliamentary candidates will be much better: https://www.ft.com/content/dc409a4a-bbef-44f2-a968-ae11d8509c87
More proof of adult governance for its general candidates and proposed fiscal policy is sorely needed.
You can say that it's a new party and it will find its footing in time for 2029. I'm not sold.
