@RupertLowe10 I just hoped you would be watching the Saints rather than twittering about politics on an Easter Saturday evening, Rupert… 🙄

Owning a home is FAR more difficult for young men and women today than it was for my generation. That’s just a fact. Average earnings have not kept pace with average house prices - to suggest otherwise is ignorant. The gap has grown at an astronomical rate. The young have every right to feel pissed off, I’m angry for them. And I detest this patronising attitude of people my age that we just happened to manage it all so much better through ‘common sense’ and fewer avocados. There are millions of young Brits who work hard, take care of their money and dedicate themselves - and yes, they are struggling to find a proper home. They have done nothing wrong. In fact, they’ve done everything right but the system still failed them. I am ensuring that there is a political party to finally represent them - Restore Britain is that party. A party that supports the aspirational and committed young British men and women. Scrapping interest on student loans. Stripping back the power of empire-building planning bureaucrats who cruelly prevent sensible house-building in fair locations. Crushing the overbearing regulations that make building anything so very cumbersome. Overhauling leasehold rules which trap owners with mutating service charges. Ending the vindictive war on landlords to make sustainably renting a proper option. Slashing tax to hand back financial control. Entirely abolishing stamp duty for Brits. Because we will not tinker with the status quo, we will not conserve it, we will not reform it. We will fundamentally change how this country operates. The model must break. I will make you one promise. Restore Britain will break it.

@RupertLowe10 This anti-vax conspiracy rubbish is the single biggest reason not to vote for Restore. A lot of their other policies make sense, but this is a deal breaker.

Six years on from lockdown. Restore Britain will quash all convictions for non-violent breaches of lockdown rules - nobody will have a criminal record for breaking insane laws that should never have been implemented. We will refund fines, and the state will apologise. A line will be drawn. Vast non-COVID medical harm directly caused by lockdown and fear messaging will be properly investigated. The truth will not be concealed any longer by an establishment complicit in the guilt. We will tell the truth. Life years lost will be how we measure lockdown's impact - demonstrating the horrific suffering that was inflicted on the young. Delayed diagnosis/missed treatment for cancer, heart attacks, everything. The impact on children's development will be fairly and independently analysed. The results will be presented, to show the damage that lockdown did to millions of children. For ZERO benefit. Targeted tax breaks will be introduced to industries still reeling from the impact. Those who lost their jobs because they refused to take the COVID vaccine will also be properly compensated for financial loss and reputational damage. A Restore Britain Government would apologise for vaccine mandates and passports. That was morally repugnant - it would be formally accepted by Parliament. Those who have lost their lives because of that will be recognised. The Vaccine Damage Payment scheme will be overhauled to actually deliver proper compensation to those affected today, and to the families of those who have lost loved ones. It should always have been an entirely free choice for adults - no persuasion, no blackmail, no mandates. None of it. I hated it. Those who implemented all of this will be investigated by a fully independent commission. If they have been found to falsely manipulate and twist the evidence to push a damaging pro-lockdown agenda, they will go to prison. If they were found to allow the injection of healthy young children with that vaccine, knowing the damage that would be caused? Prosecutions will follow. To the many decent Reform voters who hold the same concerns… If you want to campaign to put Nadhim Zahawi into Parliament, that is your choice. Stay in Reform. The man wanted to allow children to overrule their parents in order to take the COVID vaccine? Can you back him? Ask yourself that honestly. Restore Britain will fight to keep him out. Join us. Accountability is what we need. And that is what Restore Britain would deliver. A political party to finally fight for lockdown accountability. We won’t simply pretend none of it ever happened. We will ensure that it doesn’t happen again, and we will ensure that those who were responsible are held accountable.

@RestoreBritain_ @RupertLowe10 This vaccine scepticism is plain wrong, Rupert. The evidence is overwhelming that the COVID vaccine saved lives to a far greater extent than any damage it did. Please don’t tell me you’re against MMR as well. Just look at these measles outbreaks. Shame, you make sense elsewhere.

Restore Britain would scrap the current vaccine compensation scheme, and open a new system which speeds up claims, increases the amount paid and has no inbuilt bias. Proper compensation will be provided to the families of those who lost their lives due to the COVID vaccine. And, for what is worth, the state will formally apologise. Millions and millions of healthy people were disgracefully forced into taking the jab, for no health benefit whatsoever. There came with it risk. Risk that the British establishment sought to ignore and diminish wherever possible. Staff that lost their jobs due to vaccine mandates will receive an official apology and be properly compensated for lost earnings, distress and reputational damage. A Restore Britain Government would publish all relevant communications from politicians and 'experts' which led to the mass vaccine rollout and vaccine passports. Politicians like Reform's Nadhim Zahawi will be forced to appear at a truly independent commission to be questioned on their actions during lockdown. We will tell the British public the truth. We will not allow the establishment to forget about what happened in 2020 and 2021. There will be accountability, finally. If you agree, then there is finally a political party fighting for you. Restore Britain. Join us. restorebritain.org.uk/join_us

@Lagarde Dear Ms Lagarde, I wonder why you never returned the “Order of Friendship” you received from the Russians. Post the invasion of Ukraine, Russia is Europe’s enemy and it doesn’t seem appropriate for someone in your position to have that. Prince Michael of Kent gave the lead here.

Truly honoured to receive the Leadership Award at the 2025 Global Summit of Women. At a moment when equality movements are facing pushback, female leaders should remain resolute in keeping gender equality firmly on the agenda.

@Squeezeofficial @glastonbury Some Fantastic Place. The great Squeeze song which has not appeared on a set list for years.

Last time Squeeze played the Pyramid Stage at @glastonbury in 2016, they played a mix of then-new 'Cradle to the Grave' tracks next to some classic hits. What are you hoping to see this time around? #squeeze #glastonbury #setlist
