Back to EpisodesRestore v Reform: Will Rupert Lowe Slam Brakes On Nigel Farage's Revolution?
Description
BRITAIN'S political establishment is in MELTDOWN. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is a dead man walking in Downing Street as a brutal civil war erupts on both sides of UK politics. With a crucial by-election underway, Labour heavyweight Andy Burnham is positioning himself for a sensational summer coup to seize power, while Nigel Farage faces a nightmare vote-split from Rupert Lowe's Elon Musk-backed Restore party. Harry Cole sits down with The Times Chief Political Commentator Patrick Maguire live from the campaign trail. Maguire exposes the absolute panic gripping Number 10, revealing how UK PM Keir Starmer has lost all authority and is desperately trying to ram through a smartphone ban for under-16s just to secure a legacy before he is forced out. They also break down how Rupert Lowe's 'Restore' party is weaponizing the Facebook algorithm to out-reform Farage on the right — and what it means for Britain's next election.
