Rupert Lowe MP
I want to put on the record my sincere thanks to @KemiBadenoch for following and supporting our Rape Gang Inquiry. A number of Conservative MPs have attended, and I want to thank each and every one of them - particularly @EstherMcVey1 who has done so much work behind the scenes helping us put it all together. Luke Myer, a Labour MP, also took the time to attend our inquiry. He did not have to do it, he knew he was probably going to get criticised. But he came, and he listened. I have immense respect for that. The Northern Irish patriots were of course supportive, and @carlalockhart sat on the panel for one day. Again, it's appreciated. @AndrewRosindell from Reform backed our motion on trafficking, as did one Lib Dem MP. @JMcMurdockMP has also provided a huge amount of support. The next steps are now this. We still have a huge amount of evidence and testimonies that is to be released, and that will be done over the coming weeks. Survivors came to tell their story, and we will help them do that in a safe and secure way. The drafting of our report is already underway - that will take several weeks. I will update you all when I know more. A target list for private prosecutions and civil litigation is being drawn up. This I am particularly determined about. We will also be looking to push changes in the short term. I will have an update about this next week. Our plan is to reopen our evidence submission portal so that more survivors can come forward - we will help them tell their story. If you have messaged us, keep in touch and it will be available soon. Lots done, but there is so much more to do. Our inquiry team are taking a rest this weekend. It is very well deserved. -
How would a Restore Britain Government support small businesses? First step, and possibly the most important. We understand the problems and trust me, I know how difficult it is. I’ve been there, I’ve done it. The effort that goes into keeping a small firm profitable and operational is vast, and NOBODY in Government understands that. THE most important way to help small businesses is tax. GET IT DOWN. Corporation tax - we should be aiming for the lowest in Europe. Undercut our neighbours, take their business. Be ruthless. Make Britain the most attractive place to operate on the continent. Watch how the money then flows in. Rates will slashed on income and dividend, thresholds pushed up. We must urgently reward success. NI not raised, but cut. If we want businesses to hire, MAKE IT CHEAPER. Because what happens when employment gets more expensive? Costs get passed on. Contracts stall. Hiring cancelled. Investment is paused. It grinds the economy to a halt. Businesses stop spending money. They wait and see. Everyone suffers. IR35 will go in the bin on day one. Things change, contracts change, circumstances change. IR35 accounts for none of that, adding layers of unnecessary paperwork and regulation. Flexibility matters. VAT threshold would be doubled. There are so many businesses hovering just under £90k, desperately avoiding VAT. Fair enough, I don’t blame them. So let’s hike the threshold and unleash that demand. We would like to see a tax holiday for small businesses in the first few years - give them the breathing space they need to grow and find their feet. HMRC will pick up the phone, and you will be able to speak to an advisor who can actually speak fluent English. What a mad shock that would be... We will end the HR-ification of Britain that is used to blackmail employers. Regulatory frameworks that are used to suffocate small businesses will be burnt away. Farage attacks private sector employees working from home. I couldn’t give a shit where people choose to work. If the employer and employee are happy, then it’s none of our business. Failing public sector officials? Different story. Business rates for small businesses, abolished. We will brutally crack down on illicit trading - does Britain need so many Turkish barbers and vape shops? The answer, quite obviously, is no. Let’s be honest about what’s really often going on here. Money laundering. There would be free car parking in high streets all over Britain. These little gnomes in councils have no idea. If parking is free at the retail parks, people will just go there. Let’s encourage them back into our high streets - that means tackling crime too, obviously, but one step a time here... Licensing laws, planning bureaucracy, council red tape. We will obliterate it all. Let’s back British hospitality. Cut VAT, business rates abolished and burn back the endless nonsense they have to deal with. Ease laws on closing times and fast-track permits for outdoor seating. If people want to enjoy a late night drink or two, it's none of our business to tell them otherwise. Restore Britain will put those jumped-up little council bastards back in their box. I promise you that. Inheritance tax will be abolished. If a family wants to pass their business down the generations, then Government must not stand in the way. Tax has been paid, there should not be another bill following a death. It’s wicked and cruel. Above all else - businesses need stable, long term thinking. The Budget should be a complete non-event, other than further tax cuts. This can all be funded by brutalising down the fraudulent state that has become the enemy of the people. And let me tell you this. ANYBODY who gets business will understand that these measures will pay for themselves many times over. If we reward hard work, then we’ll get more of it. More tax will be paid, and the economy will boom. These are just my initial thoughts on what a Restore Britain Government would do. We would create an environment in which it's easy to do business, and then we would leave you the hell alone. The message is this to small business owners... Restore Britain is on your side. You finally have a political party that will fight for your interests. -
I want to put on the public record my sincere appreciation to those survivors and family members who have come forward through our inquiry and other campaigns. It is not easy. I have seen how difficult it is to talk about the pain and the suffering, but their bravery will mean, and has meant, that others will not go through what they did. That is a very noble cause indeed. I really hope they all understand the good they are doing, and have already done. Each and every one of them has done more good individually than all the politicians combined. -
The minister has admitted to me, finally, that the Home Office has a contract with 'Migrant Help' for the 'provision of asylum services'. 'Provision of advice, issue reoporting and Eligibility for asylum seekers who are accommodated under AASC.' The typo is from them, but don't worry - it's only a small contract so no need for that much care... The value of the contract? £235,000,000. That's right. £235,000,000. Think about how much money that actually is. Think about what the money could do for British communities. Not just that. A £16,000,000 contract for the 'support payment services to asylum seekers'. Security services for illegal migrants? £53,230,915.85. Translation and interpretation? £19,000,000. I could go on and on and on. They don't want you to see this information. ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Mass deportations, and abolishing the entire asylum system, would save us BILLIONS. I am determined to use my position in Parliament, and on the Public Accounts Committee, to reveal the truth about these contracts to the British people. -
I have been presented with evidence that the true details of various horrific illegal migrant crimes are being concealed from the British people. Our team is currently pursuing transcripts through the courts, following whistleblower reports. Updates to soon follow. It will be expensive, but it is worth every penny. If we are blocked from doing so, I will explore other avenues to release the information to the British people. I urge anyone who has details that we can use to come forward. We have safe and secure routes for them to raise their issues, and we will pursue it. Use Restore Britain's whistleblowing service. It is safe, secure and confidential. There are many patriots in the public sector who are coming forward and want to help rescue their country. If you are one, then please help us. -
