A new party has entered Britain’s political scene to the right of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, declaring that “millions must go” and pledging a ban on halal and kosher slaughter.

The far-right Restore Britain party was launched on Friday night in Great Yarmouth by former Reform MP Rupert Lowe and has been endorsed by Elon Musk.

Lowe, a millionaire businessman and farmer who used to be chairman of Southampton FC, released an “immigration policy”, which he called “deportation poetry”, over the weekend.

He pledged to close off visa routes for “Albania, Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and plenty more”.

    So labours solution to not being in power was to outflank the Tories on the right. Reform’s path to power is outflanking Labour and the Tories on the right. Restore Britain’s plan is outflank all of them on the right. Where the fuck is the viable “outflank everyone on the left” party?

      There isn’t one because half the population has been successfully misled to believe that anything even remotely left-wing is the devil itself and thus must be destroyed. Except when it directly benefits them of course.

      The only borderline viable leftist thing of recent years is Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party, which, even prior to official formation, has devolved into tankies trying to out-tankie each other while stifling any meaningful conversation and debate.

      They might be “white” but Albanians and Romanians are very much othered in western Europe.

      The prejudice against Albanians is probably made easier by the fact that many are Muslim.
