@BotFinderUK But you’re happy to try to subvert the 2016 vote? Some mixed messages there. We voted. Leave had a clear majority. Get over it.

@MartinRemains To have a guarantee you would need to win an election in the 27 countries that will make the decision. (We are not one of them.).

At the next general election I will likely vote for the party that guarantees that we will join the EU. That would not require any additional vote since, if elected, they would have a mandate to do so. Labour? Lib Dems?

Rupert Lowe announces that his new political party, Restore Britain will only be standing candidates in the local elections in Great Yarmouth. Four months ago he said his old new political party, Great Yarmouth First, would “fight every seat in the council elections next year in our area”. So which is it? Rupert Lowe is an active director of both Great Yarmouth First Ltd and Restore Britain Ltd. Is he pitting candidates for both parties against one another in Great Yarmouth? Or is Great Yarmouth First dead and buried?

Restore Britain statement on the May elections. The Restore Britain team have consulted with hundreds of members all over the country about how we should approach the May elections, considering we have only been officially registered as a political party for twelve days. The elections take place in 36 days. I am going to be entirely honest with you all, unusual for a politician I understand - none of the usual spin or twisting. We are simply not ready to field thousands of qualified candidates - all over England, with Wales and Scotland included. We could. We have had the offers and we certainly have the ability to campaign. But that would be wrong. I am not going to present to the British people thousands of candidates who have not been properly vetted, interviewed or considered. That would be irresponsible and rash. We’ve seen what happens when new parties do that, and the voters get let down. Our priority has been on establishing local branches, we have spoken to hundreds and hundreds of amazing volunteers. Local infrastructure is forming all over Britain. Restore Britain’s small team have done in weeks what it has taken other parties years to achieve. It has been remarkable, and I want to personally thank them. Dozens of local branch meetings have taken place already, with more happening every day. If you haven’t already heard about a local event, you will soon. Please be patient and understand the scale of the logistical task our team are dealing with - almost 20,000 people have volunteered to actively help in every corner of Britain. A national billboard campaign has been running, with hundreds of thousands of leaflets already delivered. 124,000 members. More than the Tories and double the Lib Dems, polling at 8% nationally. It is all history in the making. But to properly process thousands of candidates on top of that is not logistically possible in such a short period of time, and I do not want to be in a position where we have individuals elected who do not understand the important responsibilities of local government. Paper candidates. Those with questionable histories. Opportunist careerists. Individuals who have no interest in working hard. Some even simply after the money. I do not want to present them to the British people. Look at Reform’s track record following its desperation to stand candidates - promising tax cuts, then hiking people’s council tax bills. A staggering 9% in one Reform council. 9%. Families cannot afford it. It is morally wrong, and I want no repeat of it. Let’s learn from their mistakes, not our own. We are going to do this right. Where we stand, we will aim to win. Where we win, we will properly represent those residents. We will put forward the right people, with the right ideas, and the right principles. In Great Yarmouth, my constituency, we have the infrastructure to do that. We have been working on it for many months. We are prepared. There are ten elections in Great Yarmouth - nine county council seats, and one borough council by-election. Those are the only elections we will be contesting in May. The plan is straightforward. Our aim is to sweep away the rotten political establishment. Decimate the Tories, Reform and Labour in Great Yarmouth. Show the rest of the country that it can be done. Set an example. Send a message. Then take that into the rest of 2026, and the elections in 2027 where we will aim to stand qualified candidates in every seat across Britain. Work has already started on this - potential candidates are already being contacted. In the meantime, I need your help. We need your help. Come to Great Yarmouth and help the campaign. The most important day is May 7th. There are also two major action days on April 18th, and May 2nd. I want to see hundreds and hundreds of Restore Britain members descending on Great Yarmouth to help us make history. Teams will be out every single day between April 7th and the election, with a bigger presence out on Saturdays. If you can make one trip to Great Yarmouth between now and the election, that would be sincerely appreciated. Particularly on May 7th. We are running the most professional local election campaign Britain has ever seen, but we need your help. If you are planning to make the trip, please register through the link below so we can track numbers. restorebritain.typeform.com/greatyarmouth We have just over five weeks to make history. To those asking how to vote in their own local election - my advice is this. Examine the options. Look at who has taken the care to explore real local issues that impact your community. Support who you think is best to deliver for your family, your road, your village, your town. Next year, that option will be Restore Britain. But in this one set of elections, we are taking a targeted and concentrated approach. Because restoring Britain starts in Great Yarmouth, then we take it national. That’s the plan. I hope you will help us deliver that. Rupert Lowe

It is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite His Majesty King Charles III, The King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to address a Joint Meeting of Congress. Our two nations share one of the most consequential partnerships in history, and together we will mark the historic milestone of America’s 250th year of independence.

A new book argues the U.S. is not facing separate risks—but a single system failure. Financial instability. Political paralysis. Rising global conflict. They’re converging—and accelerating.

A new book edited by former White House economist Mike ter Maat delivers a stark and urgent warning: the United States is on a trajectory toward financial collapse, uncontrolled civil unrest, and repeated global conflict that could introduce existential threats. einpresswire.com/article/901107… @DavidMWalker7 @Doug_Bandow @EastWestFdn @DrJeffDegner @peter_c_earle @ryanyonk @siriterjesen @thomas_savidge @Tim4VA @suchwilliam @MuniFinanceGuy @aier @SVOpportunity @FIU

The sheer misogynism of our general society shows hugely from the fact Caroline Kennedy has never been considered as a future president of the United States. While her brother John Kennedy Jr was always considered, because he was male, handsome and athletic. Yet if we compare them Caroline Kennedy was the better Kennedy in almost everything. School, Arts, family relationships, she finished at the top ten of her law school and passed the NY state bar on her first attempt. From every report there is, she is generally admired and highly accomplished. I'm kinda sideyeying how her son Jack is trying to get in politics now, when you have this accomplished person already, who is coming from a historic family, has faced so much diversity in her life and still walks tall. I don't know just a few thoughts.

50 years ago, Labour MPs were tasked with electing a replacement for Harold Wilson. It was the first time in British history that a vote of MPs would decide the Prime Minister. The candidates were Jim Callaghan Michael Foot Tony Benn Roy Jenkins Denis Healey Tony Crosland

There does seem twitchiness about Ed. I used to appear weekly on the show. Pre-election I told Ed on air he had a conflict of interests and called him 'Mr Cooper'. He flew into a frightful bate. Never been asked back. Too fat? Too rightwing? Or hit nerve? dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/arti…

Rupert Lowe MP
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10·
I spent a long time in football as chairman of Southampton. Proper fans, proper sport. I loved it. It brings people together in a special way. Not always positively towards the chairman, it must be said. But our sport is being increasingly used as a political tool to force this guff on people who just don’t want to hear it. The fans. Taking the knee, all this diversity bollocks being pushed at each and every turn. I hated it when I was chairman, and I certainly hate it now. Take this Reform politician welcomed on stage by Farage this week who founded his club in the North East ‘as a BAME football club’, with the ‘specific aim of integrating the fragmented Indian community’. His words... A club specifically founded for black, asian and ethnic minorities. A club for Indians. Anti-white racism. Pure and simple. Why do we tolerate it? A Restore Britain Government would stop it. Because it’s not just this Reform bloke, this filth is everywhere. Jobs across the football pyramid banning white men from applying. It’s outright racism. But apparently when it’s white blokes on the receiving end nobody cares? I wonder how many young white men have been overlooked for job opportunities in the industry because of the colour of their skin. In the clubs, and certainly in the media. Thousands and thousands and thousands. It’s going to get worse and worse with this new Government regulator being forced on football. Trust me. It will not stop. Nobody cares about all this nonsense. Fans want to go to the football, have a few pints, enjoy the game. Good. Let them. Clubs need to start listening to them, because they’re the ones funding the whole operation. And the fans don’t want any of it. None of the politics. Not at the stadium. Not on the TV. There is now a party that represents those football fans who want to enjoy their sport without the incessant lectures, irritating political campaigning and outright anti-white racism. Restore Britain.

Absolutely pathetic from Reform UK MPs as they stage a mass (well, eight) walkout of #PMQs. Obviously pre-rehearsed but very much reflective of their thin-skinned demeanour in Westminster. Rare to see them in the chamber at all to be fair.
