In online chat groups, white nationalists, neo-Nazis and far-right activists are fired up. Those normally indifferent or outright hostile to parliamentary politics are putting their hope in Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain.
Lowe’s online popularity has earned him a vocal group of supporters from across Britain, with Restore now seen as a genuine threat to Reform UK. In Makerfield, it could cost Nigel Farage’s party the by-election, some observers believe.
But among Restore’s followers are far-right activists, mobilising on social media. Even competing extremist factions are showing rare unity in giving their backing.
