Rupert Lowe <\/a>has offered his former colleague Nigel Farage<\/a> an alliance to unite the right.<\/p>\n The leader of Restore Britain,<\/a> a far-right splinter group which formed after Lowe was kicked out of Reform UK, suggested it was time for the two rivals to “put our differences aside” in a public address.<\/a><\/p>\n It comes after the right-wing vote was split in the Greater Manchester mayoral contest, leading to Labour candidate Bev Craig’s victory.<\/a><\/p>\n Reform’s Sian Astley finished second with 111,928 votes while Restore’s Marlon West finished fourth with 46,289 votes in the first round.<\/p>\n In a video statement on X, Lowe said this result “showed what Restore Britain can deliver”, and suggested they work together to defeat the left-wing.<\/p>\n He said: “Nigel, my message is simple. If you are prepared to work together around serious policies, serious reform, and serious government, then so are we.<\/p>\n “Millions of British people deserve a patriotic government to put our national interest before any personal differences that you and I may have\u2026<\/p>\n “Now is the time to put our differences aside and cooperate for the good of the country that we all love.”<\/p>\n However, he said any deal relied on several key conditions Reform must agree to.<\/p>\n That included a call for mass deportations to\u00a0“reverse” mass immigration, restoring the\u00a0“demographic security” for so-called native Brits and tackling the rise of Islamism by banning the burka.<\/p>\n He also called for a referendum on the death penalty and urged Reform to restore a\u00a0“self-sufficient Britain” by cutting welfare.<\/p>\n
