This reads like an early obituary for Restore.
Influence can be brought to bear. Even the most convinced voices can fold or be weaponized later.
We knew they would eventually fight dirty, and now we’re witnessing it.
Rupert’s integration remark sits alongside hardline deportation and remigration. Misalignment exists, but it’s fixable.
The bigger problem is the purity spiral: squabbling over whether Britain should be 90%, 95%, or 100% white while the movement is still newborn. This will kill momentum.
Makerfield changed things. Nearly 7% for a party that didn’t exist a few months ago isn’t failure. Restore is no longer just online noise and is starting to function as a genuine alternative.
All the “We’re cooked” and “this is the end” takes are premature. Every serious challenge to the system goes through a baptism by fire.
Restore Britain is in it right now, You’ll see more of this as we accelerate.
Not everyone will be cut out for this.
Thoughts on Restore and Reform after this week:
If Restore Britain amounts to nothing more than a pressure campaign, then it has served its purpose.
It forced Reform to adopt a more resilient posture against attacks from the media, strengthen their deportation and demographic policies, turn away more Tory defectors, and reflect on how they lost thousands of canvassers and every Zoomer with an organic following.
Reform took notice, though few will admit it publicly.
Restore was founded as a non-partisan movement. I was there. It has achieved its goal after converting into a political party.
There was a window of opportunity where Restore could have become the equivalent of Reform in 2024: pick up single-digit seats, sustain the narrative of national renewal should Reform underperform in government, and provide experience to a generation of exuberant Gen Z politicians.
That window is closing. Structural problems, weak candidates, and blasé decision-making has stalled, possibly squandered, that opportunity.
A shame, as there's still a lot of great talent, people, and goodwill there. I'm sure they can fulfil their potential in future. As I warned Reform in late 2024, if they had refused to estrange their base, this wouldn't be a problem.
I'm not laying flowers at Restore's grave, but this is what my instincts are telling me. Those instincts tend to be good, and that's why I have an audience who listens to my takes. People won't like that I'm saying it, but I won't be anything but honest.
We should be in the business of forcing political parties to do what we want. Take your own side. That means rewarding things we like, and punishing things we don't.
To that end, third-party institutions will need to draft legislation, and train up lawyers and civil servants, so that Reform doesn't allocate insufficient resources to the task in its rush to get ready to govern.
That will also stop some of the squeamishness of some in Reform from further contaminating the agenda, because we don't have time for half measures.
Reform will also be forced to resolve it's contradictions, stop being so inauthentic, improve its policy offering, and put up better candidates.
Otherwise, they will keep underperforming in elections, despite their poll lead, and won't win — or will fulfill many Conservatives' fantasies of a post-election pact.
And they will have nobody to blame for that but themselves.
Can Reform be trusted? They have a credibility deficit to correct. Most of the Tory defectors were a mistake. Some are baked in. Others could be dropped.
Reform don't understand digital media. They say they do, but they don't. They have learned too late that inconsistent messaging is a liability when people can post your contradictory statements side-by-side on social media. It's not like how Westminster briefings or TV studios could be used to target different audiences in the 90s - 2010s.
Some of the senior figures also come across as inauthentic. It's like they're selling the right on accepting a softer version of what's possible rather than putting a positive vision forward.
Farage is strongest when he looks like an advocate for our people, not making excuses for why he can't be. Seems like he's clocked that, but he needs to acknowledge why he felt like he couldn't before. (Also he needs to stop Cameo. It's cringe.) Zia gets this.
Reform will have to subject their candidates to interviews from the right. Not controlled environments with proscribed topics. They're going to have to be honest, say "We thought we had to say this, but politics is different now..." Pass the Steven Edginton test next time around.
As their underperformance in by-elections show, negative campaigns and fears of higher taxes are not better at mobilising low-propensity voters than the vitalism of the Trump 2024 campaign was.
They need a different vibe than 70s-90s TV nostalgia. Butlins / Surprise Surprise / Only Fools and Horses is aura poison to anyone under 30.

“You’ve been stabbed? I don’t think you have, mate,” the officer responded.
The @HantsPolice body camera footage of the arrest of a dying Henry Nowak has been released.
The university student tried desperate to tell police he had been stabbed and that he couldn’t breathe. They turn him around on the ground and handcuff him until he goes limp.
Nowak was killed by an Indian man who lied and said he was the victim of a racist attack, a tactic often used and encouraged by leftists to get an upper hand against others.

I am with the young British men and women who feel crushed under inflated house prices, stagnating wages, record tax burden and just generally a really piss-poor standard of living that is falling embarrassingly far behind countries we once competed with.
My question to them is this...
Is the status quo what you want? Because if it is, there are a variety of parties to vote for. If you want something radically different, and I mean radically, then Restore Britain is giving you that option.
Ask yourself - does the current model work for you?
Commuting two plus hours a day from some pokey flat in a part of London that increasingly resembles the third world? All to get taxed out of your arse for a job you hate, with no prospect of starting your own business or owning your own home because the rotten state takes so much of your cash? It is an awful deal.
Earn a bit more money? Bang. Gone. Student loan. Paying hundreds each month just to keep on top of the interest. Initial loan never getting paid off, it just creeps up and up.
Gather enough capital to start a small business? That’s a different world of pain. Regulations, taxes, an environment designed to bury any enthusiasm to build something better. It is just not worth the risk. HMRC takes such pleasure in making it as difficult as possible. Honestly, I hate those people so much.
Young tradesmen and women all over Britain waking up at 5am, working 12 hours plus every day. Why? For what? For who? Losing almost half your earnings to fund some indolent slob who refuses to work? It’s not exactly the American dream, is it?
Want children? One? Two? More? Childcare costs thousands and thousands a year. It’s unaffordable. It’s impossible. So, depressingly, many don’t even bother. What about a home? Ludicrous leasehold rules mean you’re just paying rent up front for decades. Getting screwed on the service changes that soar with no consultation. House prices booming whilst wages fall behind. The mountain to climb gets bigger and bigger. It is endless.
Yet you’re told by people who bought their house for 40k and got university education for free that cutting down on the cappuccinos will solve all of your financial problems.
Politicians like Farage tell you working from home is the problem, and that seeking a ‘work-life balance’ is somehow selfish.
It is bullshit, to be honest. And I am fed up of it. It stinks.
There’s this prevailing attitude with many people of my age that young men and women are lazy and refuse to put the hours in.
That’s just not true. The system is crushing you. It kills ambition and suffocates aspiration.
It all needs to change. All of it.
Restore Britain doesn't want to reform the establishment, we want to smash it up.
And yes, that will include a meaningful debate about a triple lock which creates division between the young and the old - because it simply isn’t financially sustainable in its current form. Restore Britain will have the courage to do what needs to be done, I promise you that.
If you want more of the same - vote for it. Tories, Reform, Labour, Lib Dem. Go for it. Your choice. Same faces, same model, same decay.
The Greens want to accelerate our transformation into a third world dump. If that’s what you want for Britain, Polanski is your man. Certainly don’t vote for Restore Britain.
Because we are offering something entirely new.
You now have a political party that is willing to take the difficult decisions to give you the opportunities that my generation had to achieve that same financial freedom so many of my age enjoy.
Restore Britain is that party.
We want a fundamentally different economic model.
One that gives young British men and women the freedom to pursue their own goals - whether that’s building their family, business or own financial freedom.
That’s what we’re about.
We are going to be honest, and we are going to take the difficult decisions required to benefit us all, that very much includes the young Brits who for their entire lives have been ripped off by a decadent political establishment that cares about votes, and only votes.
Restore Britain will treat you all with the respect and honesty you deserve.
There is a political party that is finally your side.
Restore Britain is on your side.

Legacy media pre-determine certain views as fringe and gatekeep against them.
Then they use the fact that said views and proponents are only popular on the internet - the one place they don’t control - as evidence of them being fringe.
Complete gaslight-merchants.

If you can be made British by the stroke of a pen, or issuance of a passport, all it takes is another stroke of the pen..
One is no more moral or just than the other.

A rebellious Reform staffer unblocked my account, and I have waited for the right moment to strike. This is it.
You tried to put me in prison for backing mass deportations, Farage admitted it.
There is one party that will send the third world criminals home.
Restore Britain.

What will now happen with @RestoreBritain_
follows the same playbook that was used against the AfD and the FPÖ.
The media will apply pressure and demonize them.
Courts will discuss the possibility of banning them.
They will be told that the only way to avoid this is to distance themselves from certain groups or individuals in order to prove they are “not extreme.”
On the Continent, this targeted “radical flank” has included Generation Identity and myself. The strategy is to single out a few individuals first. It follows the classic Saul Alinsky formula: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Of course, it never ends with just one target.
If the party complies and submissively distances itself, the opponent immediately moves on to the next alleged problem – and then the next.
In the end, the party finds itself in constant retreat, gradually abandoning its core ideas.
We know exactly how this works. After years of pressure and painful lessons, even patriotic politicians have learned how to deflect this tactic.
Good news: there is a simple three-step communication model that every speaker in @RestoreBritain_ UK could adopt and train.
Trigger:
“There are connections between your party and group X, which promotes idea Y, an idea considered more extreme than your position. Will you disavow X?”
Response:
1 - Neutral separation
“I am not in a position, nor do I see any need, to disavow anyone. I am here to represent Restore UK its policies, not group X.”
2- Distant solidarity
“I am not fully aware of all their Y positions. But as far as I know, they are neither banned nor imprisoned. In a free society, they schould have the same right to express their views as anyone else.”
3 - Counterattack
“If you are so interested in group X and idea Y, why not invite them and speak to them directly? I am here to represent my organization, and I am happy to discuss our policy on Z.”
By responding this way, you avoid any weak or forced disavowal. At the same time, you establish clear separation while signaling a measured form of solidarity.
You do not deny the other group its right to exist as a more radical flank. Nor do you insult them and trigger an online backlash or internal infighting on the right.
In the end, with a smart rhetorical jiu-jitsu move, you shift the burden back onto the interviewer.

Look at the sheer terror of people in the education system when you expose how lurid sex education has become in schools.
They know it is wrong, yet they are too wedded to ideology to disavow teaching young children this stuff.

“The government clearly never wanted these two things to be put together.”
Labour has tried to play down the intersection of race and sexual predation because much of the grooming took place in Labour councils that did “nothing,” says @TrevorPTweets.

When it comes to the Pakistani Rape Gangs, the government is terrified of what will be exposed in Oldham. That’s why they want us excluded.
_________
Six years. Six years we campaigned in Oldham. They called us racist. They branded us far right. They tried to destroy us. But we didn’t stop.
To get this far, we removed three Labour Party leaders in the process and broke their grip on the council. Six times they blocked us before we had the numbers and forced them to write to the government demanding a public inquiry.
And when the government said no, we shamed Jess Phillips' response and exposed this onto the world stage. We made it so big they couldn’t ignore it. We then made every single councillor in our council chamber vote for a national inquiry.
Without what we did in Oldham, there would be no national inquiry. Full stop. And now? Now the government wants to exclude Oldham from the inquiry we helped secure.
Why? Because the evidence in Oldham leads to the top. Because some of the most powerful politicians in this country are neck-deep in the cover-up. Because the truth of what they did can no longer be hidden here. That’s why.
So what is the government doing? They’re trying to shove us into a “Truth Project.” A parallel process with no legal powers. No compulsion. No accountability. Instead, just line up and tell your story, and let us “investigate” everywhere else.
We did the work. We paid the price. We made this happen. And now they want to lock us out of the very inquiry we forced into existence.
They’re terrified of what Oldham knows. That’s what this is about. Should what happened in Oldham come out, some of the most powerful politicians in this land will face prosecution and this nation will never remain the same.
Of course, we can stop their so called Truth Project and without a doubt, we will shame Jess Phillips some more. There will be an article dropping in people's inboxes today where I lay out exactly what is really taking place. It is so much more than being reported.

Please Help Me Finish This.
If you are coming to me new, my name is Raja Miah MBE. I am responsible for leading a six year campaign that blew the lid off how Labour Party politicians were involved in protecting Pakistani Rape Gangs.
You won’t find me on any news channel in the UK nor featured in the legacy press. I take this scandal to a place from where there is no coming back.
My work is free for all. No paywalls. No restrictions. No exclusions of any kind.
We are up against a powerful machine: legacy media, politicians, police and public officials working together to bury the scale of this cover-up. To fight back, we need to grow. Unfortunately, our numbers aren’t where they need to be.
Please consider subscribing to my newsletter. I share all of my analysis and research here in a way that just is not possible on social media.

A one-off contribution also makes a massive difference. Every penny goes towards keeping my work alive and securing a National Inquiry.

Without your support, powerful politicians will continue to bury this. Without your support, there will be no justice. Please stand with me.
