The Guardian, Independent and other outlets report that Rupert Lowe, founder of Restore Britain, has proposed coordinating with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK to push a tougher right-wing agenda.

Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe has refused to say whether King Charles is a “white Briton” in a tense BBC Today interview while defending his claim that white Britons will be a minority by 2063.

Across multiple polls, Labour’s share remains around the low to mid-20s, with Reform similarly challenged.
The Guardian and Independent report that Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain, has earned substantial hourly rates from X’s creator revenue programme, potentially approaching his MP salary if current rates persist. The payments have drawn scrutiny over platform incentives and political influence.
