Politics Reform UK Restore Britain
Nigel Farage hinted at a future Reform-Restore pact, but it’s fallen apart before it could even start
With Reform UK’s star perhaps on the wane, it looks as though Nigel Farage may be open to a deal with the even further right-wing Restore Britain Party, led by his former colleague, Rupert Lowe.
🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage confirms he is open to a deal with Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain

Lowe had reached out to Farage on Sunday, after Restore picked up more votes than expected in the Manchester mayoral election.
The Greater Manchester result showed what Restore Britain can deliver.
The next step is how we maximise the chances of delivering the change Britain needs – it means putting personal differences aside.

Even Farage loyalist Lucy Connolly took Lowe’s side.

"I'm not sure how well these two guys would run a party together if they can't organise a phone call!"

If Restore Britain and Reform UK go ahead with Rupert Lowe's proposal to work together it'll be an amazing opportunity for voters. Like being able to get rabies and leprosy at the same time.

Nigel Farage confirms he is open to a "deal" with the extreme right-wing Restore Britain led by Rupert Lowe and backed by Elon Musk. A desperate act by Farage born of political weakness which must reduce his chances of ever winning a UK general election. https://t.co/YfzOSeobk0

So Farage is willing to work with a party endorsed by Tommy Robinson. The mask is completely off. https://t.co/QP89O0piae

Dan Hodges summed up.
Have to say, whatever you think of him, Rupert Lowe has done up Nigel Farage like a kipper. Farage wants to tell Lowe where to shove it. But is scared he’s currently too weak to tell him to shove it. So is trying to push him away without looking like he’s pushing him away.
