Restore Britain's Rupert Lowe speaks out on Starmer, Mandelson and the future of British politics
TRANSCRIÇÃO COMPLETA
Robert Lowe, the MP for great Yarmouth,
has spoken to GB News about everything
from the Mandlesson scandal to why he
launched his new party restore and his
side of what happened with reform before
his dramatic departure. But are Mr. Lan
restore a serious political force? Or
could another right-wing party simply
split the vote and risk letting a hard
left government slip into power?
Well, I'm delighted to welcome Rupert
Low to a special interview for GB News
to talk about the state of the world
really or the state of the nation.
Rbert, thank you for joining me. Tell
me, what is Restore's view of the
current political situation? The prime
minister fighting for his political
life, the Mandlesson scandal, and a
civil service that could possibly be
doing the right thing or one that's
utterly out of control. Where where's
Restore on that? Well, first of all,
Jacob, can I just say uh what a pleasure
it is to be back on GB News. It's been a
long time. I've almost forgotten how to
spell it. So, um I'm delighted that
you've invited me on. It's is good of
you. Um so, the answer to that question
is I think we've got a basically a prime
minister who in my view is economical
with the truth. I think let's talk about
Mandlesen on the Mandlesson issue. I
spoke against the appointment of
Mandlesson at the time. Donald Trump
described him as a He was rude
about Donald Trump. So on the face of
it, at the time it was the most
extraordinary appointment and one which
didn't make any any logical common
sense.
Now it appears that the appointment
listening to Ollie Robbins yesterday, I
wasn't in the chamber on Monday. We
voted to bring him back on Tuesday
because we weren't happy with the
answers he gave. Uh so I think he's been
dealing as I say in half truths uh in
half lies whichever you want to define
them as in in half falsehoods probably
falsehoods and Ollie Robbins I think
made it quite clear yesterday that
actually that the prime minister's
office had made the decision to appoint
Peter Mandelon and and and what the
civil servants required to do is to find
a way to deliver that appointment even
though he'd failed his uh his vetting.
You see,
>> so so I I think on the Mandlesson issue,
it's more of the same. I mean I blame
Blair Brown, Campbell Mammlson and Derry
Irvin for the beginning of the of the
undermining of of the British
Constitution with all the various
reforms they did from the human rights
act to the you know creation of the
Supreme Court to the Equalities Act all
the things that they did that I think
had longl lasting damaging consequences
for the way in which we're governed and
is probably part of the reason why we've
ended up with a human rights lawyer like
Kia Stalmer who I
uh will meet himself coming around a
corner one day. So, I don't I don't like
him. I don't respect him. I think he's a
very poor prime minister. Uh if I was
forced to vote on whether he should
resign, I would vote for him to resign.
But half of me says actually leaving him
there as a lame duck is probably better
for the other parties in terms of the
British public becoming tired of of the
Labour party and tired of the offering
which he's which he's giving him giving
the Chaos Islands away. All of the
things that are completely illogical. So
I think to your point there I I wasn't
in the chamber. If I'm forced to vote on
it I would vote I would support a vote
of no confidence. Your passwords are

And that leaves you with your own party.
And the question is where is your own
party going? because JL Partners did
some polling on your name recognition
and your name recognition is lower than
mine which you would have thought was
almost impossible as you're the leader
of a party. Um but 92% of people don't
know who you are.
>> Well, Jacob, you're a national treasure.
So,
>> that's very flashy.
>> Uh we've all we've all heard of you
because of your sort of eccentricity
and your lounging in par looking looking
like you were sort of in the public
school prefect lounge. But you better do
some lounging because with with only 8%
of people knowing who you are,
>> I think a lot of basis a lot more than
8% of people. We were stopped by how
many people on the way here?
>> Yeah, but
>> three or four people this was a poll of
2,200 people. Um, your name recognition
actually gone down in the last year.
There's obviously a margin of error.
>> That's fine. Well, let's let's let's
let's see, Jacob, I think that's that's
not right. Okay. But Nigel has taken 30
years on the public stage to get to the
point where his party is sometimes at
30% in the polls.
How
>> it was at 30% in the polls. It no longer
is
>> 25 to 30. But how credible is it
>> to go from nothing? No name recognition,
no real public profile,
one MP on his own to winning an
election. Don't you need to be working
with the Conservative Party as you are
on the public health?
>> Maybe I'm deluding myself, Jacob, but
I'm going to continue to delude myself
and I'm going to continue to build my
party because I I don't think those that
survey is correct. But
>> I don't know who they who they who they
interviewed and who they talked to, but
our polling indicates that we are
polling somewhere between 8 and 10%.
None of the existing polls are naming us
yet. So I don't think that is consistent
with what you're asking me with regard
to that one which I think is a rogue
pole.
>> But deluding yourself really matters
because if you make it more likely in
2029 that we get a coalition of possibly
Angela Raina, Zack Palanski and whoever
the S&P leader is, that is disastrous
for the country. This isn't a game. This
is really serious. I do know that and I
and I can tell you reassuringly that a
lot of the people who are joining us and
we now have
131,000
uh uh signed up supporters now ours are
real supporters. I call the reform
membership the hotel California
membership because it's easier to sign
up. It's less easy to check check in.
It's less easy to check out. But but the
important point here is that from the
people we're seeing joining up, the
exciting thing is that a lot of them
have not been involved in British
politics for 25 or 30 years. So we are
offering them an opportunity to join a
party which actually I think is
reflective of what they want and what
they think. Now they haven't been
offered that. Neither have they been
offered it verbally, nor have the hands
actually shown that they're going to
deliver that. Now, we have, as you say,
not only said what we're going to do,
and we've got a lot more research
coming. We've got research coming on
border control. We've got research
coming. I'm doing a big economic paper.
I'm doing a big energy paper. We're
