comments Elon Musk has thrown his support behind a former Reform UK MP and his new political party, which is promising to 'reverse' migration and 'do things the [British] way'. Rupert Lowe, now an independent MP representing Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, has announced the launch of Restore Britain. He originally set it up as a 'political movement' after being suspended from Nigel Farage's Reform UK party last March, amid allegations he physically threatened then party chairman Zia Yusuf. The Crown Prosecution Service subsequently dropped the case, stating there was insufficient evidence to proceed. Restore Britain has established itself as an umbrella party that will partner with locally-based candidates who are in alignment with the party's wide-ranging right-wing policies on migration, welfare, taxes and national identity. The Tesla billionaire was among the first to endorse the party with a glittering post on his X social media platform that has been liked 145,000 times. 'Join Rupert Lowe in Restore Britain, because he is the only one who will actually do it!' wrote Musk, who at one time apparently supported Lowe's former political boss. But last January the world's richest man sensationally turned on Farage, saying he should be removed as leader of Reform UK leader because he does not 'have what it takes'.

The party will become the first to partner with the newly-launched Restore Britain, the BBC reported. Lowe announced the creation of the party with a seven-minute long campaign video published onto his social media. Dressed in a wax jacket, Lowe spoke from his farm in Withington, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire - 'because places like this represent what proper Britain is about', he explained. 'Hard work, responsibility, effort, duty, stewardship. This is the England I know and this is the England I love,' he said. He went on to lament 'the condition of our country', adding 'there are no easy fixes.' On the issue of illegal small boats arriving in the UK, Lowe said Restore Britain 'will not just stop mass immigration, we will reverse it,' before pledging that every illegal migrant would be detained and deported. 'The message will be unrelenting,' said Lowe. 'If a foreign national is unable to speak English, lives in social housing, claims benefits, refuses to work, fails to integrate, commits crime or even actively hates our way of life and wishes to do us harm then they must leave - or be made to leave.'
