Politics, business, borders, free speech, high streets and Britain’s future. Not here for managed decline. We must Restore Britain.

This is the most important study of Reform’s supporters to date — by Sir John Curtice.
It blows apart lazy narratives in Westminster.
They aren’t just political protestors or the economically “left behind”.
They know exactly what they want.

If Burnham is elected on Thursday and if Restore prevented Reform UK winning by splitting the vote.
They will have lost every bit of moral high ground they ever thought they had.
English
You condemn, not the people who kicked him. Not the people who punched him. Not the people who stood by.
Yoy blame Restore.
That is not compassion. That is ideological rot.
Dawn@DawnDawniew62
I don’t care whether you like Bob or not but for me, personally, I can’t look at this broken 17 yr old Autistic lad and not feel empathy. He’s been radicalised and thrown to the wolves with no protection. Shame on you Restore.

“Lightning speed” now means announcing a ban first and working out how the internet works over the next 12 months.
Government by slogan.
BBC Radio 4 PM@BBCPM
"We are moving at lightning speed". Kanishka Narayan, the Minister for AI and Online Safety, says despite the government not yet having a full implementation strategy for it's social media ban for under 16's, it aims to deliver one in 12 months time.
English
Children harmed by social media: ban it.
Children harmed by failed border control, grooming gangs or dangerous offenders the state failed to remove: lessons will be learned.
That is the moral absurdity of this government.
UK Prime Minister@10DowningStreet
We are giving children their childhoods back. Social media platforms will be blocked from offering services to under 16s. We’re setting a new normal for future generations and empowering parents who just want to do their best for their kids.

This is what happens when the smear machine meets someone who kept the receipts.
A private conversation described as open, honest and fair suddenly becomes public spin about Restore.
The old trick is obvious:
Don’t debate the policies.
Don’t let voters decide.
Just attach the dirtiest label possible and hope nobody checks.
Except people are checking.
Orla Minihane@orlaminihane
I am absolutely disgusted by this Brendan!!! We sat for 45 mins talking. You have let me down. You promised me you would be fair and honest about our conversation. We had a lovely, open and honest discussion and shared practically the same views. We come from similar backgrounds and you thanked me for “giving you a different perspective on Restore” and now this ? I struggle to understand how people can look themselves in the mirror knowing that they are literally lying to sway votes. You recorded everything.. feel free to share it. Im also disappointed in you Jeremy!! This is establishment bullshit. Let the people decide!!!! @TalkTV @jkyleofficial

“Where is the outrage?”
He was arrested, charged, pleaded guilty and jailed.
That is exactly what should happen.
The official police account says this was a holiday park incident, during a domestic dispute, and the victim was stabbed in the abdomen - not “on the street” and not “in the neck”.
A violent criminal is in prison.
So what is the point of racialising it, other than using a victim’s suffering as political ammunition?
Neither is there any evidence that the police handcuffed the injured party or the convict pulled the race card.
LeftSideOfHistory@leftsidehist
Another stabbing on the street by a white man. Joshua Donnelly, 22, of Duxford Road, Middlesbrough. Stabbed a man 3 times in the neck. Leaving the victim fighting for his life. Where is the outrage?

Robert Jenrick warning about migration after being Immigration Minister during the record migration era.
Bold genre choice.
The old Tory machine has not vanished.
It has simply discovered harsher wording.
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick
The combination of ever more low skilled migrants and Brits on benefits is a catastrophe for Britain. Reform will end it. Our tax system will put British workers first. Migrants second.
English
Robert Jenrick announcing “British workers first” is quite the plot twist.
He was Immigration Minister while total long-term immigration reached 1.2 million and net migration hit a record 906,000.
Forgive me if I am not breathless with excitement at another “major announcement” from one of the architects of the problem.
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick
At 11 am tomorrow I will announce a major and long overdue tax reform. Reform UK will turn the tables on two-tier Britain. We will build an economy that puts British workers first. Always.
English
The funniest part is accusing Restore of being obsessed with Farage while writing a long emotional post about Restore, Farage, followers, engagement, money and who likes you.
Restore is not “Stop Farage First”.
It is “Britain First without the Farage personality cult and the old Tory machinery”.
That distinction clearly worries people.
BASEDANDBOUGIE@basedandbougie
My engagement on X has dropped significantly since I started to share my views on how I think Restore is not a genuine 'Patriotic' party and is rather the 'stop Nigel Farage because he fired me' party. If this was a 'Grift'. I would have stopped and jumped on the Restore bandwagon months ago to impress my audience. But I have not. Why? Because I could give a Toss about followers, money and who 'likes' me or not. I have an army of people who love me outside of this social media bs and I have a job that pays me well. I do not need to this. But, I do what I do because this fight is personal. My tone has not changed since I started, which is ... Britain First! I refuse to support a party who does not have that same attitude. It is painfully obvious both online and now in Makerfield that Restore is not 'Britain First'. It is 'Stop Farage First'. Their whole campaign has been centered around Reform. This is petty, childish and Pathetic considering the bigger beast we have to fight with the Socialists, Marxist and Islamists.
English
This is vile politics.
A sick 17-year-old dog was put down at home to end its suffering.
But turning it into “a stranger cocking a shotgun in the face of his loyal Labrador” is grotesque emotional manipulation.
There is no floor left, apparently.
Rt Hon Nadine Dorries@NadineDorries
He thought a stranger cocking a shotgun in the face of his loyal 17yo Labrador, was a more ‘humane’ way to end his days than to take him to the vet. How can anyone vote for this man? mol.im/a/15901733

Young Bob@YoungBobRB
Someone has submitted footage of what happened. Look at how a gang of foreigners just randomly begin hitting and punching me. This was the first incident. After that, I tried to retrieve my things, and they tried to attack me a second time. Then the police arrived.
English
This is how political violence gets laundered.
First comes an unverified allegation.
Then the label: “far right”, “agitator”, “racist”.
Then the permission structure: “I’d let my daughter smack him back.”
No.
If Young Bob assaulted anyone, report it to the police and let the law deal with it.
But you do not get to justify a crowd attacking someone setting up a debate stand because you dislike his politics.
Bushra Shaikh@Bushra1Shaikh
Eye witnesses say Thomas Moffitt aka Young Bob was aggressive to a young girl and if that is indeed the case, he should be called out equally. He is a well-known agitator and thousands of teenagers know how far-right wing he is. In the video people from all colours are helping him too. Yet he continues to call all non White Brits foreigners. Stop defending him. He is no victim. I have children his age and older than him but they are raised not to be bigots and racists. If my daughter was hit by someone like him, I'd give her full permission to smack him back.

@AndreaR26537960 @DavidSt47596050 @MutlyPaul @reformparty_uk @RestoreBritain We'll just have to agree to disagree at this stage. I have explained my position.
Have a great rest of the evening Andrea :)
English
@TheHolmesFront @DavidSt47596050 @MutlyPaul @reformparty_uk @RestoreBritain Lowe is a Tory & landed gentry with a plum in his mouth, he praised them both & would have had them join Restore if they chose, so to me your argument is weak & naive. Anyway all true patriots need to put the country first & vote for party that can get Labour out. Reform are it.
English
Dear Reform @reformparty_uk supporters,
We get it.
You don’t like Restore.
You think we’re traitors.
You think we’re splitting the vote.
You think only Reform can save Britain.
Message received but we don't care.
You enjoy your meltdowns. We’ll keep building.
@RestoreBritain @RupertLowe10
English
Andrea, that is exactly where we differ.
You see “true Tories”.
I see Tories who were sitting in the offices of power while Britain was being changed beyond recognition.
Jenrick was Immigration Minister. Braverman was Home Secretary. Anderson was Tory deputy chair. Zahawi was Chancellor and Tory chair. Dorries was in Cabinet. Reform has taken in a long list of people from the political machine that presided over record migration, weak borders, high taxes, broken housing and national decline.
Calling them the “right sort” of Tories does not reassure me.
It confirms the problem.
And I do not think Farage is being politically savvy here. I think it is his fatal mistake.
He has turned an insurgency against the old order into a refuge for people from the old order.
You cannot rebuild Britain by rehiring the architects of the collapse.
English
@TheHolmesFront @DavidSt47596050 @MutlyPaul @reformparty_uk @RestoreBritain The true Tories not the wets and as I said there is a reason why they defected. Reform has let in a select few and not any old Tories. Reform has been quite selective or do you not agree? Farage is politically savvy unlike Lowe that has already U turned on Tommy Robinson.🤷♀️

The flag was not hijacked by racists.
It was surrendered by cowards.
Now they want it back because they finally realised ordinary people never stopped loving it.

"Don't allow your flag to be hijacked by racists...the flag belongs to all of us!" The full interview between Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Political Editor @JackElsom is now live on our website
English
Andrea, I do grasp it. I was a Reform member.
The problem is that I believe Farage broke my trust, and the trust of many others who wanted something genuinely different.
For me, the fatal mistake was recruiting former Tories into Reform. These are people from the political world that presided over so many of the problems Britain now faces: record migration, weak borders, high taxes, broken housing, failing public services and managed decline.
You cannot present yourself as the insurgency against failure while filling your party with people from the machinery of that failure.
His constant drifting on policy is also a major concern. Reform too often feels like headline first, principle second.
I admired the work Rupert Lowe did inside Reform. But, as we have seen before, Farage has to be the central figure in everything he builds. That is how he operates. Lowe was pushed out, and for many of us that clarified the choice.
I believe Lowe is a man of deep principle. Restore’s policies are detailed, serious and much closer to the Britain I want to see - not just in destination, but in the means of getting there.
From the Restore meetings I have attended, I have seen a genuine groundswell of passionate, patriotic people who want national renewal, but who are also open to debate, discussion and proper policy.
I understand if that does not persuade you.
But that is where I am.
I do not want Labour. I do not want Burnham. I will not vote Tory. And I would not vote Reform now, because Reform has lost my trust.
English
@TheHolmesFront @DavidSt47596050 @MutlyPaul @reformparty_uk @RestoreBritain You're deflecting but has to filling Reform with old political machinery is a bit of a nonsense when Lowe courted them & would have welcomed them in Restore. Every party needs experienced politicians to some degree, they left the Tories for a reason & I think you are grasping.
English
Andrea, the point is that many Restore voters would not vote Reform if Restore were not standing.
If I lived in Makerfield, I would not want Labour or Burnham anywhere near power. But I would still not vote Tory, and I would not vote Reform.
Farage has broken trust by filling Reform with too much of the old political machinery that helped create the mess we are in. Reform chases headlines. Restore is already producing serious, researched policy and forcing the debate.
So this is not simply “letting Labour in”.
It is voters refusing to be herded into a party they do not trust.
English
@TheHolmesFront @DavidSt47596050 @MutlyPaul @reformparty_uk @RestoreBritain PS nobody is saying it is Reforms property but politically it makes sense. Reform are not your enemy and I think it politically a very bad move by Restore. 🤷♀️
English
Young Bob was not attacking anyone.
He was setting up a public debate stand.
He was dragged down, punched, kicked, robbed of equipment, and left needing medical attention.
If members of Stand Up To Racism were involved, encouraged it, or stood filming while it happened, that is vile.
Will there be swift action, @Keir_Starmer?
Or is political violence only serious when it happens to the approved side?
You cannot claim to defend democracy while looking away when young activists are attacked in the street for holding the wrong opinions.
