Crowds of Restore Britain supporters gathered together in Great Yarmouth this weekend ahead of the May 7th local elections. Great Yarmouth MP and Restore Britain leader, Rupert Lowe met with hundreds of Restore members which will have certainly raised concerns among those Labour, Conservative and Reform politicians who had previously slated Restore as an online phenomenon only. This appears to have been a huge misjudgement as Restore Britain took to thr streets of Great Yarmouth in record numbers.
Restore Britain and Rupert Lowe is the fastest growing political party in Britain, with over 131,000 members after just a few weeks of its inception and Lowe is topping the table of party leaders with the highest approval rating, despite being largely ignored by the mainstream media and famously barred from GBNews for a time, an organisation that has Reform UK’s leader, Nigel Farage, as a major shareholder.
Restore Britain is not standing candidates in local elections apart from those ten seats in Great Yarmouth, Lowe’s own constituency, as they had the infrastructure already in place, with Lowe stating on April 1st, “I am not going to present to the British people thousands of candidates who have not been properly vetted, interviewed or considered. That would be irresponsible and rash. We’ve seen what happens when new parties do that, and the voters get let down.”
This seems to have been the right approach with Reform UK being criticised for standing unvetted and unpopular candidates resulting in multiple withdrawals, most recently with defecting Harltepool Labour councillor, Aaron Roy, who was publicly ibtroduced to Reform and welcomed on stage by Reform leader Nigel Farage before an embarrassing u-turn and his subsequent withdrawal after controversial comments on English flags were revealed online.
Restore Britain is supporting nine candidates under their Great Yarmouth First banner. A full list of those candidates and where they are standing can be found via the link below.
