Artifickle

I am proud to be English - always have been, always will be. On St George’s Day, and every other day. Never let anyone tell you that pride in our England is shameful, or something to hide. It is most definitely not. It is noble. It is natural. It is necessary. Our compass and foundation must be our history, and that is a history to be proud of. So why is it that others can celebrate who they are with no guilt, no apologies, no fear? Yet the English are silenced - patronised and insulted, despite everything that we’ve given to this world. I am tired of it. We are all tired of it. So now is the time for English men and women to finally stand up for themselves. To stand up for our history, our culture, our people, our very special way of life. Our home. Because if we don’t, and very soon, then we are all going to lose far more than a debate. We will lose everything. I think of how our country is going to look, feel and be in 50 years, even 10 years, and it fills me with a looming dread. It is not too late to change it, but that point is already recklessly close. We must now fight for the England we wish to pass on to our children and grandchildren. Because patriotism is simply a sense of stewardship, that's how I feel it. The belief that what we inherited matters. And that we have a duty to leave it stronger, safer, wealthier and more prosperous than how we found it. That’s the England I want to pass on. But always remember - the English like to leave it late. We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again. We will Restore Britain, and we will Restore England.

130,000 Restore Britain members.

Restore Britain is now polling 9% nationally - it continues to grow and grow. We will soon overtake the Lib Dems. That is historic growth. And I want to be really clear about what our objective is. Win the next general election, and restore Britain. We will stand hundreds of candidates from outside the rotten political establishment. They will not be failed Conservative ministers. They will not be desperate careerists who are seeking to harness the rightful anger of the British people to advance their own interests. They will not be politicians. They will be men and women who understand how the real world works - in business, medicine, industry, science, education, the military. Proper Britain. I have no interest in appealing to the Westminster elite - Tory, Reform, Labour. It all just stinks. Same people, same ideas, same failures. I don’t want to join the establishment. I want to smash it up. Because Britain doesn’t reforming, it needs restoring. Back to a time when our political system worked for the only group of people who matter. The British people. We are at the start of a very long road, but we have taken the first few very important steps. People laughed when I founded Restore Britain - they said we’d never even reach 1% in the polls. Well, we’re at 9% and we are not stopping there. Reform are leading that poll on 21%. On current trajectory? We will soon overtake the Tories and Labour, and then Reform. That’s the plan. And when we do it, that’s when the real change starts. We are aiming to implement the most radical changes to the British state anyone has seen in living memory. And I mean radical. Join the team, join Restore Britain. Help us make history. Let’s get our country back.

A Restore Britain Government would back British drivers. How? Raise the speed limit on motorways to 80mph. Remove all 20mph zones, other than those outside schools or areas with vulnerable individuals. Our current 70 mph speed limit was implemented decades ago, for a completely different type of car with completely different capabilities - far lower safety standards, poorer braking, and less advanced handling. It is unnecessarily slow, plenty of other countries sensibly allow for more. 80mph is faster and fair, and Restore Britain would do the unthinkable - trust people to get on with their lives without such overbearing state interference. It boosts business, backs drivers and gets Britain moving. Support Restore Britain to make it 80.

Restore Britain would allow free public speech without imprisonment

There is no way of knowing how often Parliament votes against what the public actually wants. Until now. houseofthepeople.com tracks every bill going through Parliament. You vote. We compare it to how your MP voted. The gap speaks for itself.

Great idea!

We aren’t ‘splitting’ any vote, we are creating our own. Bringing millions of non-voters back into the political process. Giving them a reason to vote, a reason to finally support a political party. Putting forward the positive argument on how we will restore Britain.

Inflation isn’t some random phenomenon that just happens to a country. Political choices have made life so much more expensive for British families, and political choices can make life so much more affordable for British families. When the state grows too large, it spends beyond its means. That spending has to be funded. Through higher taxes, more borrowing, or printing money. Those are their options. All three drive inflation. All three make your food shop more expensive, your pint more expensive, your tank of fuel more expensive. High taxes make it more expensive to produce, hire, and invest - so businesses pass those costs on. Prices rise. Inflation soars. It’s a vicious cycle. And so many of those taxes are done through stealth. We all pay SO much tax but we have no idea because it’s hidden from us. That money is stolen from the people, and they don’t even know it. Frozen thresholds. Stealth taxes. State theft. I detest it. Of course, excessive and reckless state spending pumps more money into the system, so prices rise - the cycle continues. And when governments print money and inject it into the economy, what happens to the value of the existing money? What happens to your savings? Your wages? It all becomes worth less and less. This is not complicated - a bloated state makes a country more expensive. It makes Britain more expensive. It makes your life more expensive. So the reverse is also true. Cut the size of the state, and you reduce wasteful spending. Cut taxes, and you lower the cost of production. Restore proper discipline, and you stabilise the value of money. A Restore Britain Government would not manage inflation, we would tackle the root causes of it. We would not engage in unnecessary foreign wars that hike the price of oil, punishing British families at the pump and everywhere else. When fuel gets more expensive, everything follows. Britain needs cheap fuel, cheap energy. That means drilling, drilling and drilling some more. Domestic energy production is vital. Cheap energy makes everything more affordable. Everything. The drive for Net Zero must end - Restore Britain will halt that mad march to further bankruptcy . A country that lives within its means is a country people can actually afford to live in. And yes, that will mean many cuts, and many difficult decisions. But the hour is late, and nothing else will suffice. Any political party saying otherwise is lying to you. There are no easy fixes. That time is over. Restore Britain’s approach will be painful in the short term, but it will bring the cost of living down. It will make life more affordable for hardworking British families.

Restore is obviously now a player in the political landscape. Anyone who ignores this is unserious or partisan. The five-party system is dead, almost on arrival. Welcome to six-party politics.

@tomhfh I am very pleased this conversation has been had publicly. People can read it, and make their own minds up about whether there is a Farage ban on me appearing live on GB News.

Disgraceful.

Farage promised his own 'third-party' rape gang inquiry - he did nothing. Took the headlines, and did nothing. Rupert did it. He is still doing it. Giving survivors a voice and pursuing legal action. Farage today called that effort a 'waste of space'. Pathetic.

On day one of a Restore Britain Government, we would initiate an emergency census to understand the scale of what needs to be done.

Important news - a national poll just out has put Restore Britain on an incredible 8%. We officially registered as a party less than a week ago. 120,000+ members, polling 8%. Historic growth. I believe that Restore Britain is going to win the next general election.

Some exciting news to share - Restore Britain's membership has just gone through 120,000. That is double the Liberal Democrats. Double. Almost entirely done through social media. Less than six weeks after launch, less than one week after our official registration as a political party. Our ground game is now firing. Approaching 400 parliamentary constituencies now have local branches up and running. Introductory meetings happening every day. The billboard campaign is on, with leaflets going through doors - thousands and thousands more every day. Regardless of what you think of our politics, this is a uniquely impressive achievement. Nothing like it has ever happened in British politics. Ever. According to yougov, I have the best approval ratings of any party leader - I'm not even a sodding politician. That is why the establishment detest us. I would have it no other way. We have no interest in reforming the establishment. I want to smash the establishment - destroy it, and start again. Rebuilding a system that puts one group of people at the top of the agenda, every single time. The British people. Does that make us extreme or radical? Irrelevant. We are going to do what needs to be done, however painful that will be. We are going to Restore Britain.

If Restore Britain wins power, any details in the Epstein files relating to British politicians/public figures are going public. If they went to the island, the British people will find out about it.

The Reform Chairman, David Bull, just admitted that there has been a decision taken by somebody to keep Rupert Lowe off GB News. Bull then deleted the post. When will GB News allow Rupert back on a live show, unedited? It all stinks.

@Landeur Bull just admitted there was a decision taken, by someone, to keep me off GB News. Then deleted it. Remarkable.

I endorse this message - all businesses should accept cash.
