Axed Reform MP Rupert Lowe launches new movement to ‘carpet-bomb wokery' and slash migration
AXED Reform MP Rupert Lowe has launched a new political movement to 'carpet-bomb the cancer of wokery' and slash migration. The independent right-winger today insisted his 'Restore Britain' project was not a new party - although it will be viewed as a rival to his friend-turned-foe Nigel Farage. 1 Mr Lowe was booted out of Reform following accusations of bullying and threats towards then chairman Zia Yusuf which he has strongly denied. But the Great Yarmouth MP has remained vocal in the Commons especially on driving up deportations and the rape gangs scandal. Mr Lowe said Restore Britain would argue for 'low tax, a small state, to slash immigration, protect British culture, restore Christian principles, carpet-bomb the cancer of wokery, fight lawfare, empower individual enterprise, and plenty more.' He added: 'Where appropriate - private prosecutions will be launched, legal challenges brought, and judicial reviews funded. We will fund independent investigative journalists to root out corruption, and an FOI taskforce to expose Government waste. 'A unit specifically for whistleblowers will be established to amplify their concerns - 2029 is the ultimate objective, but that does not mean we cannot effect real and positive change in the next four years. If we don't, there won't be a Britain to restore.' Mr Lowe fell out spectacularly with Mr Farage, with the once political allies locking horns in a public spat. Reform reported Mr Lowe to the police over alleged threats to Mr Yusuf. A subsequent investigation was dropped by the cops. Mr Lowe had accused Mr Farage of running Reform like a 'cult' and accused him of trying to launch a 'political assassination'.

In March this column wondered how the weekend opinion editors at the New York Times had gotten away with publishing a reasonable analysis of progressive failings. Now some sage advice has also made it into a weekday edition. Meanwhile on the West Coast, a progressive leftist is continuing her fascinating journey toward rationality. Think back to the radical political and media environment of the summer of 2020 and imagine reading the following news report about the left-wing Democratic governor of a deep-blue state. Here in June of 2025, Austin De Dios reports for The Oregonian:
