Two neo-fascist leaders have pledged their support for Rupert Lowe’s political party, Restore Britain.
Steve Laws is the head of the Remigration Now organisation, which has called for the removal of non-white people from the UK. He claimed to be in “daily” contact with the team advising Mr Lowe, the Times reported.
Laws, who has said he is a “proud” racist and has called Adolf Hitler a “misunderstood politician”, urged Remigration members to become members and branch organisers at Restore to “create a stronghold in that party and really hold some weight over the direction”, the newspaper reported.
“His team around him are literally our guys. I’ve met them all,” Laws said. “I speak to some daily. I’m in because of them.”
Laws has also said in a post on X that it was “incredible the lengths that r*****s are going to try and claim I have influence over Restore Britain”.
He added: “Sure, my voice has influence amongst the membership but I have no official role or position.”
Simon Birkett is the leader of The Woodlander Initiative (TWI), which is buying land to build white-only communities in Britain.
Birkett, who has been a member of a number of fascist parties, including the National Front, has said the next general election is “our last shot” and urged his supporters to back them.
Birkett has said there is a “world of difference” between Reform UK and Restore Britain.
“There has never been a political party to go from inception to power in three years in this country, " said Birkett, who has previously said he had given up on change through democratic means in a video last year. “It would be a very difficult thing to achieve, however this is our last shot at a political route.”
Birkett’s Woodlander Initiative has ties with Patriotic Alternative, a far-right group led by Hitler-admirer Mark Collett.
Among Restore’s policies are proposals to abolish the asylum system, “end political Islam” and mass deport all illegal immigrants in the UK.
When contacted by The Standard, Mr Lowe and Restore Britain did not directly respond to questions over the support of far-right extremists.
A statement from Mr Lowe’s parliamentary office said: “It is wonderful to hear from the Standard for the first time, following absolutely no mention of our historic growth, the quickest in British political history.”
“This is a pathetic smear campaign. It won't work. Ordinary Londoners are looking for a political party that represents them… One that will deport all illegal migrants, reverse mass legal migration, and ensure that the British people are put at the top of the agenda, each and every time.”
He continued: “This is what Londoners across the capital want, and that's what Restore Britain is unapologetically offering.”
“I will defend Restore Britain's position, and only Restore Britain's position”, he added.
Mr Lowe has been the MP for Great Yarmouth since he was elected as a representative of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party in 2024. He was suspended from Reform in March 2025 and reported to the police over alleged “serious bullying” and “derogatory” remarks about women, which Mr Lowe has strenuously denied.
Mr Lowe launched Restore Britain as a political party in February this year, receiving backing from the world’s richest person, Elon Musk. It had previously been set up as a pressure group and political movement by Mr Lowe in 2025.
YouGov polling from April 6 to 7 found 4% of Brits said they would vote for Restore Britain in a general election.
