Rupert Lowe (MP for Great Yarmouth and leader of Restore Britain) delivers a ~12-minute direct-to-camera address offering cooperation with Nigel Farage and Reform UK.
Summary of the video below, which is a must-watch for Americans, as so much is relevant this side of the Pond.
He opens by recalling their shared election as MPs in July 2024 (as part of a small group that began challenging the two-party system). He highlights Restore Britain’s recent result in the Greater Manchester mayoral election—46,289 votes (about 8.7%), outperforming the Conservatives—as evidence of what the party can achieve.
Lowe argues that maximizing the chance of real change for Britain requires putting personal differences and past disagreements aside. He poses the question “How can we restore Britain?” and says that if the two sides can agree on five fundamental principles/policies, they should find a way to work together in some form.
The conditions he sets out (drawn from the video and contemporaneous reports of it) center on:
Borders and immigration: Ending mass immigration is insufficient; it must be reversed. This includes a comprehensive deportation policy (every illegal migrant deported) and addressing legal migration, which he says causes more damage than illegal migration. Demographic and cultural security: Preventing white Britons from becoming a minority; reversing “Islamification”; protecting Britain’s Christian heritage/character; and related measures (e.g., implementing recommendations from an inquiry into “rape gangs,” plus restrictions on practices such as certain forms of slaughter, cousin marriage, the burka, mass public Islamic prayer, and sharia courts).
A referendum on the death penalty.
Economic self-sufficiency: living within means, major cuts to welfare spending, and restoring a self-sufficient Britain.
Excluding former/failed Conservative ministers from any future government.
He stresses the offer is not politically convenient or personally easy for him (after the events of the previous 18 months) but is necessary for the millions of British people who deserve a patriotic government that prioritizes the national interest. He frames cooperation as a way to destroy a looming left-wing alliance and as a last chance to save Britain’s culture, values, and way of life. He closes by saying Restore Britain will be ready either way.
The video is filmed in a domestic living-room setting, with Lowe seated at a table speaking calmly and directly to the camera.
The Greater Manchester result showed what Restore Britain can deliver.

The next step is how we maximise the chances of delivering the change Britain needs – it means putting personal differences aside.
