Rupert Lowe tweets “Let’s take a look at just some Restore Britain policies, and you tell me if these make us nazi monsters” - then proceeds to list the usual lazy right wing populist tropes.
Sorry, but I disagree. Farage is a very experienced politician and he is realist. He only promises what he can achieve. Rupert, on the other hand, is a fantasist. He just throws slogans around and promises everything.
I would like to hope Reformers probably know this and may be thinking more seriously, even learning from experience in local government and their new recruits with lessons of failure in national government. Also Farage is a canny political and will tack between what sounds good and what is achievable, at least politically. It is not as if we have much choice anyway, compared to the red green and yellow terror that otherwise awaits.
With Reform having lost the plot (if it ever had it), we need Restore Britain to succeed. You don't hear of sports coaches being censured for criticising their charges - it's that which makes them winners. To turn Lowe into a winner, he should be "encouraged" by every possible means to up his game. We cannot afford him to fail.
How can we expect a golf club bore sounding out Thatcherite slogans to provide a better plot? By all means keep the pressure on Reform to ups its game, but Lowe is hardly setting out a platform for winning an election and running a country that will be fractured and broke?
I think you’re confusing vision for policy. Vision is what attracts people to a political party; policy is what a party produces in the months leading up to an election. We’re three years away from that, so Restore is putting out vision, as it should be.
I think 'the game' is way too far gone, sadly. Rupert may mean well, only he knows if he does - but anyone promising 'a government that will solve all your problems and tackle your pet hates' is either naive or clearly not to be trusted. Either way...avoid.
Much as she was ridiculed Liz Truss's point about 'the blob' was a sound one - but it went way beyond anything Truss was saying. The blob is the civil service, judiciary, senior police, some of parliament, basically the whole of academia, climate change lobby, the intelligence services and the plethora of 'fake activist groups' that have been either set up or infiltrated to cause trouble at public expense (Hope Not Hate anyone?).
Hell even parts of the alleged 'private' sector have been infiltrated and captured.
Quite how we remove them and start again I don't know. But until I hear somebody identifying this parasite class of people and at least threatening to try and deal with it we'll be playing wheel of slop for a good few years yet. Thanks for the content as ever.
All I can hope is that this is just a starter for ten and given it currently would appear extremely unlikely that Restore Britain will get anywhere at the next election there is more to come in the future.
Forlorn hope maybe but these are still very early days as I don't think his party is yet even registered.
Thank you. As I said before, Rupert is not a clever man and he speaks in slogans for attention.
Same is true of Reform though. Same detail-free slop on their own website.

Great point well articulated!
Lots of ‘slop’ accusations flying around social media these days.
The halal policy is fine. This is just more carping slop on your part.
You want specifics? Rupert Lowe is specifically more trustworthy than Farage and the other lying Tories that now make his party.

Is the pay good?
