Nigel Farage criticized Rupert Lowe and his new political party, Restore Britain, labeling Lowe's 10% polling figures as "utter rot" and accusing him of crossing lines of decency and morality.

Key Details of the Conflict

• Reasons for Removal: Farage stated that Lowe was removed from Reform UK because he advocated for the mass deportation of entire communities, including UK-born individuals, which Farage called "beyond reason, decency, and morality".
• Dispute Over Alliances: Lowe offered to work with Reform UK under specific conditions—such as holding a referendum on the death penalty, banning halal and kosher meat, and excluding former Conservative MPs from future roles—which Farage dismissed as an unworkable "shopping list".
• Accusations and Messaging: Lowe accused Farage of running a "cult of Nigel" with a brutal leadership style, while Farage dismissed Lowe's party as an online-driven protest movement heavily boosted on X by Elon Musk.
• Electoral Impact: Right-wing vote-splitting between Reform UK and Restore Britain—such as in recent local and mayoral by-elections—has drawn concern that it could dilute the conservative vote and benefit the Labour Party
