On Whether Restore Britain Will Split the Right

Since Restore Britain launched as a national political party, Rupert Lowe has been accused of both being irrelevant and of splitting the vote, robbing Reform UK of a majority at the 2029 general election.
Matt Goodwin says mass deportations is "too extreme", and that Restore supporters have ruined promising political careers.
Professor David Starkey said he is "frightened" by Lowe's "revolutionary" language and promise to present a "clean slate" of new MPs.
The Telegraph called Lowe a monster and compared his staff to the Nazis.
Others have accused the party of being a Tory Trojan Horse — despite Conservative defectors now outnumbering Reform's elected MPs.
These attacks wouldn't be necessary if Restore were really an obscure, purely online phenomenon.
Early polling shows Restore Britain is reactivating non-voters who became disillusioned with Reform. Their membership has surpassed the Conservatives' in less than a month. Local branches are being established.
The right isn't splitting: it's reorganising. It's better to do this now, three years out from an election, while we still have time.

The English Ethnicity Debate Has Become Absurd

The English identity debate has become the new trans issue.
Shabana Mahmood demands you respect her preferred pronouns and recognise her, a Pakistani woman, as English.
Denying that the British people exist as distinct, indigenous peoples is ethnocidal rhetoric. As Thomas Corbett-Dillon said on GB News, if this were happening to any other group, the UN would be calling it a genocide.
It is particularly insidious when Mahmood is pretending to reduce immigration, while creating "new safe and legal routes" for Muslim "asylum seekers", and paying fake refugees the equivalent of a year's wages to return to their home countries.
But some who were right that the answer to "What is a woman?" was "Adult human female" now say that ethnicity is a matter of self-ID, and being British is about "how you feel".
Nigel Farage, Ben Habib, Paul Embery, and even Kellie-Jay Keen argue that people can "pass" as English or British, despite having no British ancestry.
No, you cannot be trans-English. Our identity is not a vibe or set of values. British identity is derived from ancestry. And I will not be compelled to lie to be polite.

Debating Katharine Birbalsingh on Immigration, Integration, and Remigration

In September 2025, I recorded a debate on immigration, integration, and British identity with "Britain's strictest headmistress" Katharine Birbalsingh, and editor of the Spectator, former Conservative minister Michael Gove.
The footage exists, but Freddie Sayers banned the Spectator from releasing it.
Due to public demand, Dan Wootton decided to moderate a rematch between Katharine and me. Enjoy the full, uncensored debate on immigration, integration, education, and remigration.

Integration is a Lost Cause

Keir Starmer and the UK Labour government have published a policy paper titled "Protecting What Matters: Towards a more confident, cohesive, and resilient United Kingdom", which promises to use the Online Safety Act to censor social media algorithms and right-wing content creators to stop "extremism" and hate speech.
This includes equating "being English with being White, or being Christian", opposing "gender equality" or "LGBTQ+ rights," or "undermining the UK’s system of liberal parliamentary democracy." Meaning, any position other than progressivism is treated as terrorism by the British state.
They're also appointing an anti-Muslim hatred tsar to censor "verbal, written or electronically communicated" criticism of Muslims or Islam, and ensure public bodies advantage Muslims "in public and economic life."
In the name of "integration", British people are becoming second-class citizens in their own country.
The alternative proposed by Kemi Badenoch? Tasking Robert Tombs with turning the country into a nationwide Michaela School.
Integration has not happened. It will not happen. It is a lost cause. Millions must leave.

Iran Should Not Be Britain's Problem

Britain's politicians cannot afford to be nonchalant about a war with Iran.
America and Israel have no clear win condition. We will pay for it through inflation, rising food and fuel prices, and another "refugee" crisis as millions of Iranians, Afghans, and Lebanese flood Europe.
Richard Tice says a Reform government would "help the Americans and the Israelis in whatever way they see appropriate" — including airstrikes, and a potential ground invasion by Britain's armed forces.
The Green Party supports opening our borders to the "asylum seekers" created by the conflict.
Only Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain propose non-intervention and refusing entry to any migrants from the Middle East.
Proscribe Iran's proxies. Deport its sympathisers. Deter new entrants. Repatriate energy production. Insulate us from the consequences of America and Israel's foreign policy.
Otherwise, the conflict will be re-enacted by Muslim communities and pro-Israel / Persian protestors on the streets of London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
Until Britain has a government willing to remove them, Rupert is right: we shouldn't be involved. It isn't prudent. It isn't our problem.

Hope Not Hate's Annual Racism Awards

Lying communist organisation Hope Not Hate has released the State of Hate Report for 2026, and everyone is treating it like the right-wing Oscars. 
Well done to everyone who made it. If you were denounced, wear it as a badge of honour.
Hope Not Hate's reputation is in tatters after two years of scandals, including employee Liron Velleman being convicted of child sex offences, and CEO Nick Lowles lying about acid attacks on Muslim women after the Southport massacre.
They have cried wolf too many times, calling everyone from Carl Benjamin to Tommy Robinson, Rupert Lowe to Nigel Farage, and even me "far right", racist, and a Nazi.
The magic words don't work anymore. They have no credibility left.
Nevertheless, their members are still getting senior roles in Keir Starmer's government.
We cannot get complacent. Until a government they fear takes power, they will remain an attack dog of the state.

Sectarian Voting is Britain's Future

In future, all elections in Britain will be decided by sectarian voting. All politics is identity politics. Either pick a side or lose by default.
Zack Polanski's Green Party decisively won last week's Gorton & Denton by-election in Manchester, beating Matt Goodwin and Reform UK by 4,402 votes, and putting Labour in third place.
Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch, and Nigel Farage are all blaming sectarian and family voting because the Greens effectively mobilised the Muslim enclave in Gorton as an ethnic block vote.
But Reform fail to recognise that this is their fault. They engaged in sectarianism too: unsuccessfully courting Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh voters, at the expense of the unrepresented white working class in Denton. No party spoke specifically to their concerns, and so the majority stayed at home and didn't vote.
You can't complain about sectarianism when you pander to minorities, only less successfully. You cannot represent the British people if you cannot define a British person. You cannot say "This is the last election," if you also insist that demographics aren't destiny. And you can't dismiss critics as "Very Online" if you make your living on Substack.
Either you engage with the enemy on the same terms, or you forfeit the battle.
Either Reform becomes a nativist party for the forgotten indigenous majority, or another party will supplant them — just as the Greens replaced Labour with the "Camp of the Saints" coalition of insane progressives and immigrant colonists.

Who Can We Trust To Do Mass Deportations?

Who can be trusted to conduct mass deportations: Reform UK or Restore Britain?
Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe are competing to be the most credible politicians promising mass deportations, ahead of the next general election. That's despite Farage banishing Lowe from Reform UK for promising mass deportations in the first place...
But does Reform's "Operation Restoring Justice" or Restore's "Mass Deportations: Legitimacy, Legality, and Logistics" provide a more viable policy offering to voters?
In this video, I review both Zia Yusuf and Harrison Pitt's papers, propose additional policies to incentivise voluntary returns, and anticipate legal and institutional obstacles to removing every illegal immigrant currently living in Britain.
Repeal Blairite laws. Leave international treaties. Abolish the Supreme Court. Shrink sack, and replace the civil service. 
Tax remittances. Scrap exploited visa routes. Introduce an immigration red list. Ban foreign-born persons from receiving benefits. Ban foreigners from voting or standing in elections.
Proscribe repugnant imported cultural practices. End Indefinite Leave to Remain. Get comfortable stripping citizenship from immigrants who were brought in against the electorate's wishes. And much more.
The task at hand is immense. But it is possible. All we need is the political will to do what is necessary.
This video took days to compile, film, and produce, on top of years of covering immigration issues in Britain. I hope it makes the case for mass deportations, and how difficult it will be for whichever party is promising them, clear.
Thank you all for supporting my work. I couldn't do it without you.

Are Reform UK Copying Restore Britain?

After Rupert Lowe launched Restore Britain as a national political party, Reform UK and their surrogates in the media spent two weeks calling Restore and their supporters neo-Nazis, far right, incels, and ethnonationalists.
Now, Zia Yusuf, the man who called the police on Rupert Lowe to kick him out of Reform, is cosplaying as Home Secretary and copying Restore's talking points on immigration and Christian heritage.
Reform are promising mass deportations — the same policy that Nigel Farage called "very grave, dark and dangerous", and expelled Rupert from the party for proposing.
Laila Cunningham insists Britain is a secular state, while Zia Yusuf says Christianity is "core to the history and the DNA of the country”, and without it "the country is not a country, it’s just an economic zone." 
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage still says being English is about "how you feel," and that any other position is "a really worrying, dangerous form of ethno-nationalism".
I'm glad Reform are shifting rightwards. But why do Reform attack Restore as "far right" one week, then copy all their policies the next? Why would we elect Muslims to protect our Christian culture? How can we trust Farage to deliver when he's been dragged kicking and screaming to this position, and is still denouncing his own voters?
