The people running @RupertLowe10 account are letting him down. His account is not being leveraged enough to push Restore policy and to engage seriously with current events. There’s a lot of trolling and red meat for the base but there’s not much substance for onlookers to cling onto. His team need to transition away from the look, feel, and sound of a pressure group and towards a party that could credibly enter No.10 in 2029. A certain amount of slop posts are necessary, that’s politics in 2026, but given all that’s going on in the country and the world it has to also be balanced with substance and it’s missing at the moment. This was my critique of Reform and Farage for all of 2024 and 2025 so it’s only fair and honest I point it out now too. What’s frustrating is that Restore have actually done a decent amount of policy work and their spokespeople and surrogates do get into the details and the substance but it needs to be pushed out of the main Restore and Rupert accounts especially when we’re seeing so little of Rupert publicly too. It’s becoming increasingly odd how little TV and podcast appearances he’s doing. Especially as he used to do so much he’s been very quiet since the party launch only doing a handful of friendly media interviews in the last 6 weeks. I know they’re focused on branch rollouts and that’s quite right but that doesn’t mean a small amount of time can’t be carved out for serious policy focused and substantive posts. We also need to see more of Restore in the media in general. There was a lot of media momentum in the early weeks and a lot of good viral clips being produced as a result but that’s slowed right down and I’m not entirely sure why.
