Someone needs to stand down in Makerfield, and fast. I would love nothing more than to see Restore take the seat, I really would. They are growing, they are gaining ground, and what they stand for is everything this country needs. But the simple truth is they are not there yet. Not at this moment. And by standing both parties against each other, all we are doing is splitting the vote and handing the seat straight to Labour on a plate. That is the last thing this area or this nation can afford. I’m no great fan of Nigel Farage either. I’ll be honest — I have my doubts. I’m not convinced that even if he found himself in the highest office, he would actually have the backbone to do what is truly necessary to fix this country. But right now, right here, Reform is the only realistic option we have. They are the only vehicle with the organisation, the support and the reach to actually make an impact where it counts. Restore have built something good, something real, and they should be proud of what they have achieved. But for this by‑election, the smart move, the patriotic move, would be for them to step aside. I would love to see a carefully worded statement from Rupert Lowe, asking his supporters and the faithful to lend their vote to Reform this time around — not to abandon what they believe in, but to protect it. To hold the line, to stop the opposition from taking more ground, and to make sure that when Restore are ready to fight and win in their own right, the path is still open. It is one minute to midnight for the United Kingdom. We are in a mess deeper than most people dare admit, and petty battles of ego and pride will only sink us faster. We need Reform now, so that one day we can truly Restore everything we have lost.
