Restore Edinburgh

In case there was any doubt as to my authenticity. I joined the movement literally days before it became a party. The emails pictured below show this. I am a local, I am ex forces, I am a tradesperson and, most importantly, I am a patriot just like you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@TheBritLad This is amazing! The UK home office and Ministry of Defence should look to fund groups like this seeing as they are too busy to do it themselves 👏

🚨NEW: Local Residents have launched “Crowborough Aware” – a citizen defence group. They patrol streets on a rota, escorting women safely home, with coordinated teams and dozens more members on standby. Community hubs are also being set up across the town.

@CeriTho25683386 Thank you for the engagement and for spreading our message of hope unity and restoration of social order and public good! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@RestoreEdi Restore, for when reform isn't racist enough

Make sure everyone you know in Makerfield sees this clip from September 2025. Burnham saying he will put the UK back in the EU. Share this like crazy people 👇

@CultureShockTh I’m assuming you mean rather than Burnham and not another party entirely? 😅

@RestoreEdi I prefer Keir, or rather, hate him less

@DMC2353 @stephenpollard @Telegraph Burnham the 🐍

@stephenpollard @Telegraph What a snake x.com/i/status/20561…

Here's my @Telegraph column on why it's vital Burnham loses in Makerfield telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/1… It’s rare for any political event to live up to the hype. But next month’s Makerfield by-election will be as huge in its consequences as the hype has it. If Andy Burnham wins, he will – let’s not pretend this is anything other than certain – be the next prime minister. And if he loses? God alone knows, because Labour will be plunged into chaos. Not just Labour but the entire country, because we will still have a prime minister who has already been politically assassinated but who will remain in office for months while his party seeks to come to terms with the pandemonium it has just engineered – and what to do next. All of which makes it seem as if objective observers should be hoping that Burnham becomes the MP for Makerfield in June. Stability and all that. But for anyone concerned with the wider consequences of the by-election, beyond the straightforward fact of Burnham becoming prime minister, there is only one sensible hope: that he is defeated. In the unique circumstances into which we have been plunged by Labour MPs’ determination to play political games and their contempt for the electorate, the very last thing the country needs is a new PM determined to dump the manifesto on which Labour’s mandate was built, to swing leftwards and thus saddling the country with higher taxes, more debt and worse growth. The Makerfield by-election is being treated by Labour as a form of controlled experiment. Can the man they have convinced themselves is their white knight – with no actual evidence beyond some local election wins as a mayor – defeat their mortal enemy, Reform? Burnham is certainly risking his political career to find out. He has already decided that the voters of Greater Manchester are expendable, an irrelevance to be dumped when he spies a better job that he fancies, with all his promises to serve his full term just the usual political lies. Burnham’s monumental self-regard in sticking two fingers up to his mayoral constituents is hardly the most propitious basis for his campaign to win Makerfield. So if he does manage that, it will indeed show that he has some sort of political X factor. And that’s where the problems lie. Because whatever success in Makerfield will mean, it will not mean that Burnham has any sort of mandate to implement the sort of policies that he has been floating, such as rent controls, wealth tax, a significant rise in Capital Gains Tax, more borrowing, more spending, more welfare, scrapping the Chancellor’s fiscal rules and stopping the Government being “in hock” to the bond markets – although God alone knows what this actually means. But that is what he will claim he has. That’s what Labour MPs want him to do, which is why there is even talk of him moving into Downing Street unopposed. They will all pretend – lie is the more accurate word – that Burnham’s by-election win has given him a mandate to swing the Government to the Left, when in reality there will be no such mandate. Only a by-election win, which shows what we already know: that Andy Burnham is popular in and near Manchester. On the other hand, if he loses, there is no telling who will succeed Keir Starmer or whether he will stumble on, powerless, loathed and a national laughing stock. Even if it is Ed Miliband or Angela Rayner – or someone previously unheralded who emerges from the chaos – they will know they cannot even pretend to have a mandate to move to the Left. They might well attempt it – taxers gonna tax, spenders gonna spend – but if they do, they will make a bad situation for Labour far, far worse. That is the question to be settled in Makerfield. Do we get a new prime minister who is ready and able to push through a series of disastrous policies that will plunge the country further towards the abyss? Or do we end up with a new leader who is enfeebled and shackled? For the sake of our country, let’s hope it’s the latter.

@RupertLowe10 That’s amazing! Well done Rebecca can’t wait to help campaign for you this week 👏

I am proud to announce local businesswoman Rebecca Shepherd as our Restore Britain candidate for the Makerfield constituency. Rebecca has spent most of her adult life living and working in the Wigan borough, where she has built and run her own small business. Through that experience, she understands first-hand the pressures facing local businesses and working people across the community. Like so many residents, Rebecca has seen the growing impact of rising costs, increasing legislation, red tape, and bureaucracy, which continue to make everyday life more challenging for ordinary people trying to work hard, support their families, and stay afloat. Put simply - she understands what local men and women are going through. This is the type of person we need in politics. Not career politicians, but genuine people with real life experience. Rebecca is particularly passionate about improving SEND access and support across the local area. Her interest in SEND-friendly activities comes through the work she does within her Community Interest Company, where she has seen first-hand the importance of opportunities, practical support, and activities for people with additional needs. Rebecca is standing for Makerfield because she believes local people deserve honest representation, accountability, and someone prepared to fight for the interests of the community rather than their own political careers. I look forward to campaigning with Rebecca, and putting forward Restore Britain’s positive vision for the Makerfield constituency. Rupert Lowe, Restore Britain Leader Our local priorities: Safer streets for women and girls - tackling the gangs of foreign men who harass and intimidate local women and girls in Ashton, and elsewhere across the constituency and the Wigan Borough. Fight reckless overdevelopment in areas including South Hindley, and Winstanley - roads, dentists and GPs must come before responsible house building provided for local families. Improved SEND support for those in genuine need - we must avoid overdiagnosis, but also provide proper investment to those who need it. Including a constituency-wide investment programme for the improvement and maintenance of children’s playgrounds. Tackle anti-social behaviour in Ashton and elsewhere - no-nonsense, visible policing to crack down on criminal activity in our towns. Parents too must be held responsible for what their children are inflicting on the community. We say enough is enough. Restore our high streets - push for free car parking to drive footfall, abolish business rates to reinvigorate our town centres and deliver a full investigation into the explosion of vape shops and Turkish barbers for trading standards/immigration non-compliance. We are in this to win it.

@madman8368 @Loopy_Loo01 Yes 😔

@RestoreEdi @Loopy_Loo01 Poor laddie ,

His name was Kriss Donald 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@PetitionTheKing @jemmm85517813 Great clip, not so keen on Gove tho

@RestoreEdi @jemmm85517813 x.com/james7holland/…

@MyDugAlbie No we absolutely cannot!

@RestoreEdi We cannot allow this Labout government to take us back into the EU.

@jessgill03 Congratulations Jess!

I’ve taken some time away from politics to focus on the best and most important thing to ever happen to me. It’s now even more important to make the country better for my son.

@VoWalesWren @Unravel72 What a hoofing bootneck 🫡

You drag your husband along to the Unite the Kingdom March just to escort you into the media enclosure… and somehow HE ends up 50ft tall on the big screens looking like he’s about to lead the charge for freedom while I’m tucked away behind the cameras 😂 Green beret. Serious face. Zero idea he’s now the face of the revolution. I only wanted a nice day out and some decent footage, not my husband becoming the accidental poster boy! The man went for moral support and stole the spotlight. Classic. #UTK #MyHusbandTheMascot #EscortDutyGoneWrong #SendHimHome

@David90shaw Labour will do a deal with the Greens in Makerfield. Just watch.

🚨 BREAKING: Total panic has officially set in. Labour politicians are now openly admitting they are terrified of being completely "wiped out" by Reform UK. After losing major strongholds like Birmingham and Wolverhampton last week, the Labour grassroots are in full meltdown. 🧵👇

David is everything that is wrong in Britain today. Britain and British people should come first always

He’s so desperate he’s trying to bribe the electorate with his own money 😂😂

Wow, they actually made him stand down. Starmer called everyone there far right. When mothers of victims of illegal migrants stood on stage to give speeches. When pictures showed mothers and children celebrating Downing Street realised Starmer looked foolish and arrogant.

Amazing and brave! Well done 👏

There’s been another terror attack…shutting the borders has never been so serious and necessary

@Liham1820 @SM8724231137203 @cfdownes_ @RestoreBritain_ Yes many of my friends still in are completely behind Rupert. Armed Forces is complete political now, with generally the officers mess supporting the uni party (standard)

@SM8724231137203 @RestoreEdi @cfdownes_ @RestoreBritain_ A huge majority of paid up members I have spoken to up here are also ex forces. I believe once we have the foundations in place and are able to start getting leaflets etc out, no amount of protests of virtue signalling will stop us 🫡😁

Hope to see this in my area soon! I cannot wait to get involved. 🙏🏻

@angloid0 @BROKENBRITAIN0 Myself and my friends would 100% attend if they do this 🙏

I think Restore should stand in the Makerfield by-election. Why not? If we can focus on 1 constituency like Restore did in Yarmouth then 100s of activists would come, possibly even more then Yarmouth seen as its more central. Even if Restore doesn’t win they can have a huge effect on the election results and will damage Reform a lot. Thoughts?
