Restore and Reform face-off

Billionaire-funded Reform UK is fracturing, with much of its original support having broken away to establish another party, Restore.

Since the split, the two parties have been at war with one another. This signals, yet again — to quote the famous words of Martin Luther — that hate begets hate.

You just called Restore Britain 'neo-nazi'.

It's that sort of rhetoric that got Charlie Kirk shot in the neck – you should be ashamed of yourself.

We will not tolerate it. Our legal team is now involved.

Wealthy at war with each other

We wrote recently about the emergence of Restore and the backing it’s received from far-right billionaire Elon Musk. In the words of our own Willem Moore:

One of the biggest criticisms of Reform is that it’s just a rebrand of the Tory Party. Now, ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe has created his own spinoff party, and it’s shaping up to be…a rebrand of a rebrand.

Adding that:

Lowe himself has said, he’s open to attracting talent from the Tories, Reform, Advance — basically any reactionary party you can think of. Furthermore, Rupert Lowe seems intent on expanding his political circle.

Lowe’s flip-flopping makes it apparent the man wasn’t getting the adulation he so desperately wanted from his Reform pals.

This just goes to further reveal the priorities of these politically ambitious and privileged men — i.e. the size of their…bank accounts.

Moore wrote:

The timeline of Lowe leaving Reform is messy. The TLDR is:

Lowe began criticising Farage (seemingly in coordination with Elon Musk).

Farage suggested Lowe wouldn’t be anywhere near office without Nigel’s cult of personality (a.k.a. Reform).

Reform suspended Lowe and reported him to the police for ‘verbal threats’ and “serious bullying” of female staffers.

Lowe described the accusations as “vexatious”.

Several months of back and forth ensued.

With someone like Lowe, it’s better to have them on the inside pissing out than on the outside pissing in. Now, Farage is going to learn why that saying exists.

The infighting is proving that Moore was bang on the money:

Far-right Reform UK (led by far-right multimillionaire Nigel Farage) calls far-right Restore Britain (led by far-right multimillionaire Rupert Lowe, who left far-right Reform) 'neo-nazi'. Far-right billionaire Elon Musk defends far-right Restore, calling far-right Reform 'Nazis'. pic.twitter.com/qDqwtfJjPY

A message to Restore Britain members…

Be ready. They are going to come for us. The establishment. Reform. The other parties. The entire rotten lot.

It's already started.

We are not in this to make friends. We are in this to fundamentally change how our country is governed.…

Lowe’s post reads in full:

A message to Restore Britain members…

Be ready. They are going to come for us. The establishment. Reform. The other parties. The entire rotten lot.

It’s already started.

We are not in this to make friends. We are in this to fundamentally change how our country is governed.

We are in this to Restore Britain.

That will mean pissing people off, and we already are.

Good.

That means we’re making progress.

There will be insults, there will be unpleasant names.

Ride it out, stay the course. Eyes on the prize.

I will promise you two things – we are going to stay true to our beliefs, and we are going to be honest.

Who knows where that will end up taking us.

They’ve skipped the ignoring and laughing part, going straight to fighting.

We all know what comes next.

First they came for the fascists… https://t.co/9UEJOAgYCx

Musk has long defended Lowe, of course, stirring the pot of British domestic politics — having abandoned his support for Nigel Farage whose party he has called UK “Nazis.”

Lowe’s latest post shows he’s already anticipating being labelled a ‘Nazi’:

They will call Restore Britain nazis, they will label us as racist, they will threaten us.

It will not stop us. I promise you that.

It is now time for the British people to show some courage, some determination, some bravery, some balls.

The potential violence these nefarious politicians are inciting amongst British men is deeply concerning, as this X post clearly shows:

#RestoreBritain

There will be a huge army behind Rupert. People want change and we’ve been let down far too often #MSM and pathetic weak parties will try everything I’m sure but for true believers, it won’t deter them I’m sure https://t.co/dPhCLkn38l

Two sides of the same rotten coin

It’s obviously preferable to watch these deplorable parties attack each other instead of minoritised communities.

After all, each side is clearly determined to be the last parasite standing but what they have in common is the threat they pose to our domestic politics.

As former CPS Chief Prosecutor Nazir Afzal scribbled on X, self-obsessed billionaires, he says, rarely act in the public interest.

Reform, Restore, or what ever party hatches next, will undoubtedly fuel deeper unrest and division across British society.

Insanity that Reform, Restore, Advance & the other bank accounts look across the Atlantic, see the burning of the constitution & rule of law, bigotry & corruption & the rise of tax avoiding billionaires at the expense of the poorest in society and say – “we’ll have some of that?”
