UK far right lines up behind Rupert Lowe in challenge to Reform

MP who fell out with Nigel Farage and has backing of Elon Musk launches anti-immigration party in Great Yarmouth

On a cold night in a dilapidated theatre tucked away at the end of Great Yarmouth's Britannia Pier, Rupert Lowe was launching a far-right revolution. Millions will have to go," the MP said, pledging a policy of mass deportations, to rapturous applause and foot stamping from hundreds gathered for what had been billed as the launch of a local Great Yarmouth First" party.

But after introducing five councillors who will stand at the next Norfolk county council elections under that banner, the former Reform UK figure went further by announcing that his Restore Britain movement would become a national party.
