Robinson endorsed Lowe, the independent MP for Great Yarmouth who launched Restore Britain around February 13, 2026, after leaving Reform UK last year. The new party, now with over 90,000 members, pushes mass deportations and remigration, drawing support from figures like Elon Musk and far-right activists. Reform fired back with Zia Yusuf's hardline speech on February 23, pledging a UK Deportation Command for illegal migrants amid ongoing small boat arrivals, though polls show Reform leading at 25% to Restore's 7%. The rift highlights tensions over immigration strategy and risks splitting the right-wing vote.

Key Takeaway

Tommy Robinson didn't hold back on a US podcast, calling Rupert Lowe the only leader who can save Britain while slamming Nigel Farage for selling out on immigration.
