I'm pretty right leaning but Restore are so far over to the right than Reform its disgusting.. There is a danger of splitting the right wing and protest vote which would see Labour likely under Rayner or worse that imbecile greens leader, the tit hypnotiser taking the next election. Restore are ultra ethno/Christian nationalist and while those views may not be espoused by Rupert Lowe (in public), his followers on X have been absolutely vile with the anti Islam/Jewish and POC slurs. Also some of the numbers for restores membership maybe hooey as some member sign ups turned out to be Yanks and other nationalities. While some of Restores members and supporters may just be fed up of Farage bringing more Torries into reform, a lot are just absolute bellend bigots akin to the BNP and EDL. Restore are looking like a fascists wet dream.
What was funny though is when asked to identify a picture of Lowe, the general public named him as Prince Andrew, Peter Mandelson and Ed Davey.
"Among the names offered by the British public when asked to identify a picture of Rupert Lowe were 'Peter Mandelson', 'Prince Andrew' and 'Ed Davey'. But the most common answer was 'don't know'."
How much of this hype is just social media echo chamber nonsense?
