The leader of Restore proposes a pact with Reform, saying the two parties could unite parts of “the patriotic Right.” In an interview reported by the Daily Mail, Restore leader Mr Lowe suggests a “common way forward” with Reform but ties cooperation to policy and political conditions. According to the report, Mr Lowe calls for a ban on the burka, and he also argues for a referendum on reinstating the death penalty. The proposal also includes a demand to “sideline” Tory defectors, referring to former Conservative figures who may be attracting support to Reform. The article notes that Mr Lowe’s hard-right party has been a notable influence in politics, including at the Makerfield by-election where it is described as creating difficulties for Reform. The report presents Mr Lowe’s offer as a conditional attempt to coordinate strategies and align on specific issues, but it does not provide a response from Reform or details on how the proposed pact would be implemented.
