Two neo-fascist leaders have pledged their support for Rupert Lowe\u2019s political party<\/a>, Restore Britain.<\/p>\n

Steve Laws is the head of the Remigration Now organisation, which has called for the removal of non-white people from the UK<\/a>. He claimed to be in \u201cdaily\u201d contact with the team advising Mr Lowe, the Times reported.<\/p>\n

Laws, who has said he is a \u201cproud\u201d racist and has called Adolf Hitler <\/a>a \u201cmisunderstood politician\u201d, urged Remigration members to become members and branch organisers at Restore to \u201ccreate a stronghold in that party and really hold some weight over the direction\u201d, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis team around him are literally our guys. I\u2019ve met them all,\u201d Laws said. \u201cI speak to some daily. I\u2019m in because of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laws has also said in a post on X that it was \u201cincredible the lengths that r*****s are going to try and claim I have influence over Restore Britain\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cSure, my voice has influence amongst the membership but I have no official role or position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon Birkett is the leader of The Woodlander Initiative (TWI), which is buying land to build white-only communities in Britain.<\/p>\n

Birkett, who has been a member of a number of fascist parties, including the National Front, has said the next general election is \u201cour last shot\u201d and urged his supporters to back them.<\/p>\n

Birkett has said there is a \u201cworld of difference\u201d between Reform UK and Restore Britain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has never been a political party to go from inception to power in three years in this country, ” said Birkett, who has previously said he had given up on change through democratic means in a video last year. \u201cIt would be a very difficult thing to achieve, however this is our last shot at a political route.\u201d<\/p>\n

Birkett\u2019s Woodlander Initiative has ties with Patriotic Alternative, a far-right<\/a> group led by Hitler-admirer Mark Collett.<\/p>\n

Among Restore\u2019s policies are proposals to abolish the asylum system, \u201cend political Islam\u201d and mass deport all illegal immigrants in the UK.<\/p>\n

When contacted by The Standard, Mr Lowe and Restore Britain did not directly respond to questions over the support of far-right extremists.<\/p>\n

A statement from Mr Lowe\u2019s parliamentary office said: \u201cIt is wonderful to hear from the Standard for the first time, following absolutely no mention of our historic growth, the quickest in British political history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a pathetic smear campaign. It won’t work. Ordinary Londoners are looking for a political party that represents them\u2026 One that will deport all illegal migrants, reverse mass legal migration, and ensure that the British people are put at the top of the agenda, each and every time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThis is what Londoners across the capital want, and that’s what Restore Britain is unapologetically offering.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will defend Restore Britain’s position, and only Restore Britain’s position\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Lowe has been the MP for Great Yarmouth since he was elected as a representative of Nigel Farage\u2019s Reform UK party in 2024. He was suspended from Reform in March 2025 and reported to the police over alleged \u201cserious bullying\u201d and \u201cderogatory\u201d remarks about women, which Mr Lowe has strenuously denied.<\/p>\n

Mr Lowe launched Restore Britain as a political party in February this year, receiving backing from the world\u2019s richest person, Elon Musk. It had previously been set up as a pressure group and political movement by Mr Lowe in 2025.<\/p>\n

YouGov polling from April 6 to 7 found 4% of Brits said they would vote for Restore Britain in a general election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two neo-fascist leaders have pledged their support for Rupert Lowe\u2019s political party, Restore Britain.
