The Daily Mail is going all out on attacking Restore Britain, drawing particular attention to the fact that Rupert Lowe is turning a blind eye to a certain cohort within his party who could fairly be described as far right.
''Meanwhile, with Reform hardening some of its rhetoric, and Farage pledging to evict foreigners from social housing, Restore is left looking too similar''
I wonder where Farage is getting his 'new' ideas from? ;o)
To quote Rupert:''Don't care'' ... Restore are standing ... as is their constitutional right and Reform can squawk all they like about it. I don't see them demanding the independents or the Lib Dums standing down.
The subcontracting of government funtion, both national and local, really doesn't have enough attention paid to it. Yusef has stumbled over it for all the wrong reasons, but if they were serious they should follow the money; who is benefitting, what is the real cost, is it the best value and is it a national security concern.
So all the attack lines on restore including your own are to be exactly the same ones used against reform eh. Did they work against reform. Maybe you should just let sleeping underdogs (and democracy) lie eh.
The line of attack is that Restore is a slop factory with no policies or a plan. It's the same line of attack as Reform because it is a clone of Reform.
It’s not a very good attack then is it, from reforms obvious successes. You might wanna pick up a better one this time round, learn from previous mistakes sort of thing.
The point is that generic populist slop can generate polling success, but it isn't the basis for a viable government, and their lack of interest in detail is causing them to make promises they can't keep. There's a price for that... and I'll be vindicated thrice over, sadly.
Far from “Reform is basically the Tory party in populist drag” don’t you think the pretty clear arrangement between Lowe and Badenoch to destroy Farage and Reform works beautifully for them? Lowe gets his revenge on Farage and Kemi buys time for the Tories. Why else would she gift Lowe a coveted Tory seat on the PAC and noticeably they never attack each other? Seems pretty obvious why!
As I constantly predict that things need to get worse before they get better a Burnham victory should help destroy Labour whether he becomes PM or not which is a desirable outcome if like me you believe we need a strong principled Right of Centre government to start the long hard process of undoing the last 30 years of our governments based on social democratic ideology
With regards Glover's comments I don't think Farage showed Lowe any decency or good sense when he reported him to the police for threatening to kill Yusuf a charge that could have got him sent to prison but it turned out there was no case to answer.
Lowe has not finished with Farage yet and he will only have himself to blame if his past finally catches up with him and damages Reform UK in the process.
So many variables seats lost idealogies misplaced or just not fit for consumption meanwhile the 5th Calliphate is already locked and loaded to reign literal hell upon the masses and everyone is worried about who will be in power next? How about not gonna happen period ! The British Isles are finished unless a revolution aided from without is carried out post haste Jihad waits for no one.
It strikes me that, whilst most of our current and past politicians have never run a business, Rupert has never run a government department. And it shows. He knows about profits and losses, and investment and working capital. He understands the bond market. But he doesn't seem to understand that government is more than a series of games of 'noughts & crosses'.
As you've pointed out the main issue is that Nigel Farage seems to blow in the wind and often turns left whenever the nation turns right, making him look weak and untrustworthy.
“Restore is not producing policy and the policy it has is not informing its strategy.”
Restore have published four policy papers in addition to the Mass Deportations paper, the most recent being on Energy Policy published 3 weeks ago.
These lazy, resentful attacks are becoming boring.

That fact doesn't help Restore win.

No need to keep digging you already struck oil with ‘far right.’ I'm voting Restore, that's what I would say to the Daily Mail.

So inside fighting is the norm now is it?

You might be right but we must give what's left of democracy, a chance.

You lost me with your use of the term "neo-Nazi". Now I'll lose you.
Northern Variant: In Search of a Headline?
Peter North is an aviation enthusiast which I like.
But he strays into never never land.
Never Restore - never anyone other than a new Conservative Party.
Peter, the TSR2 was a wonderful aircraft of its time.
But it will never return, nor will the Torys.
They’re finished and deservedly.
