Restore Britain is an ethno-nationalist and far-right political party in the United Kingdom led by Rupert Lowe, the Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth. The organisation was officially launched as a pressure group on 30 June 2025 and became a political party on 13 February 2026. It presents itself as an umbrella organisation for local grassroots groups and has been labelled as further to the right than Reform UK on the political spectrum.
Lowe was elected to Parliament for Reform UK but formally left the party after public disputes with its leadership and criticism of Nigel Farage. Reform UK subsequently alleged threatening behaviour from Lowe as a reason for his suspension, which Lowe and his staff denied. Later in 2025, he established Restore Britain as a pressure group, with an initial advisory board that included Conservative politicians such as Susan Hall and Gavin Williamson. The party also raised funds via crowdfunding for an inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal.
The party advocates for the large-scale deportation of people in the United Kingdom without legal status, including having net-negative immigration. The party wants to have a referendum on reinstating the death penalty, seeks withdrawing public funding for the BBC, banning the burqa and niqab, legalising the possession of pepper spray, and expanding the legal scope of "reasonable force" in defence of the home. It has also referred to stopping "wokery" and banning kosher and halal slaughter.
In April 2026, The Times reported that "prominent neo-fascist leaders" had backed the party. According to Hope Not Hate, the party has gained support from British neo-Nazis including the leadership of Patriotic Alternative, as well as former officials of the British Democratic Party, the British National Party, and For Britain. Lowe has stated indifference to Restore Britain being described as far-right or racist and has disputed that the party is racist or bigoted.
