‘Rupert Lowe And I, Joining Forces Would Be FORMIDABLE!’ Says Advance UK Party Leader Ben Habib

Advance UK Party leader Ben Habib discusses the potential for collaboration after Rupert Lowe launched a new political entity named Restore Britain. Lowe, who currently serves as the Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth as an independent, transitioned his previously established political movement into a national party intended to align with local partner groups.

Lowe's suspension from Reform UK preceded this development following allegations against the former Reform UK chairman, Zia Yusuf, though the Crown Prosecution Service ultimately found insufficient evidence for charges. Lowe is anticipated to seek re-election in Great Yarmouth with the support of the local partner, Great Yarmouth First. Senior Conservative figures, Susan Hall and Sir Gavin Williamson, reportedly advised Restore Britain during its movement phase but are understood to be withdrawing support as it formalizes as a political party.

Political commentator Kevin O'Sullivan interviews the Advance UK Party leader regarding these developments in the UK political landscape.
