The government is considering banning some pro-Palestine marches following concerns about a rise in violence against the Jewish community. Do you agree with this approach?

@BenGrahamUK @GBPolitcs @JLPartnersPolls Well he’s been in a major political position for far longer and had done some big pr stunts so it makes sense. A lot of people haven’t even heard of Restore.

A Restore Britain Government will detain and deport all illegal migrants - ruthlessly, indiscriminately and most importantly, efficiently.

Absolute masterclass by Zia and Reform … just saying this about migrant detention camps, has exposed all the Greens & Labour lot that don’t want one in their area. So all you hypocrites that call me racist or a bigot for campaigning against The Bell…get in the bin HYPOCRITES

After Zia’s announcement yesterday I never realised how many right wing voters mainly Restore and the Conservatives are against closed borders. And how many left wing have all of a sudden become in their words “bigots” We see you 😉

This is a far more serious approach from @RupertLowe10 @RestoreBritain_
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10

Where should illegal migrant detention centres should be located? Reform want to vindictively target Brits in potential Green constituencies to make a point and house illegals next to them - that is their choice. But I don't believe that we have time for this petty nonsense. A Restore Britain Government will not abandon residents of those constituencies who have a Green MP elected on 25% of the vote. That is not fair, and more importantly - it is not efficient. Restore Britain will focus on solving the problem, in the most ruthlessly efficient manner possible. Objective number one is quite clear - remove the illegal migrant population. That is not going to be completed through vengeful gimmicks. We won’t punish hardworking British men and women because their neighbours voted Green. We need a serious, systematic approach utilising the current state apparatus at first in order to rapidly scale our removal capabilities - our deportation paper goes into great detail about how to achieve this. This an incredibly complicated task. Removing two million plus illegal migrants will not be done overnight. It will not be done through deliberately choosing less efficient options to take revenge on constituencies who did not vote for us. We don’t have time for this petty nonsense. It is a mammoth challenge - it would be one of the biggest state policy implementations ever. We would construct detention facilities where they are most efficient, most secure, and most practical to operate - not based on shitty political point-scoring, but on what actually works and on what actually will remove these illegals on a timescale the British people expect. Because the aim is clear. To detain, process and remove those who have entered this country illegally, and to do so at scale. Millions will go. That requires infrastructure that is fit for purpose. Proper capacity. Proper security. Proper coordination with removals. Repurposed airports, ports, existing detention facilities - all of that can be deployed rapidly, wherever it is currently located. This takes proper thought, and proper planning. I am entirely uninterested in which constituency illegals are detained and removed. I don’t care about using taxpayer money to make political points that will inevitably slow down the removal process. I simply want them all deported in the most efficient timetable the British state can possibly achieve. Millions will go. That is what Restore Britain will do.

Israel territory grab is expanding, will this be temporary measure, or a more increased permanent "buffer" zone against Iran's proxies?
The Telegraph@Telegraph

🔴 Israel has expanded the territory it controls by approximately 530 square miles since the Hamas attacks on Oct 7 2023, fuelling fresh debate about its rightful footprint and drawing biblical comparisons. @HenryBodkin looks at the battle over Greater Israel ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

I agree with this approach laid out by Rupert, and I am not a Restore member. I dared to challenge this Reform gimmick and was shut down as a liberal/socialist in wanting illegal migrants. What I object to is the waste of time, money, and efficiency. This feels more like political point scoring than a serious solution. And it’s worth remembering that a constituency isn’t made up of just one group of voters.

Simon Clarke@SirSimonClarke·
We need to stop illegal immigration, but this is abhorrent from Reform. Zia is proposing the siting of detention centres expressly as a form of political punishment for people and places that don’t vote Reform - not just Green, but presumably Conservative, Liberal and Labour too. (And what about Reform voters in those constituencies?) It would almost certainly be deemed an abuse of ministerial power for political purposes, and as such would likely be stuck down in court before ever being implemented, wasting millions for the taxpayer without detaining anyone. If it were to go ahead, it would still represent an appalling waste of public money as these sites might well not be in any way suitable for the proposed centres, or near the other infrastructure required. What’s worse is that he is doing all this to provoke outrage and draw attention to Reform a few days out from the local elections. Reform know what they are doing. But this goes beyond a pre-election stunt. It’s declared as a major policy commitment, and should be treated as such. We need a proper plan to leave the ECHR and restore safe border controls, not gimmicks that wouldn’t survive first contact with reality.
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK

Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you. If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will. This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed. Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy. votegreengetillegals.com
