Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe fears “Britain isn’t Britain anymore” after years of mass migration.

He joined Steve Edginton on GB News to discuss the concerns of Britons as insurgent party Reform UK enjoy success by winning seats and picking up votes across the country.


The former Southampton FC owner joined Steve before the unrest that saw furious Britons taking to the streets to violently make their feelings clear about mass immigration.

Asked if he agrees with the notion that “Britain isn’t Britain”, the Great Yarmouth MP said: “I think that’s certainly true.

“There was a reason why Reform have had three MPs elected on the east coast. Obviously myself in Great Yarmouth, Richard Tice in Boston and Skegness and Nigel Farage in Clacton.

“I don’t think Great Yarmouth is plagued by it, it’s still fortunate to have its own identity, I think people know each other.

“If they don’t know each other, they know somebody who does know each other. It’s still a tight knit community.

“I don’t think this is the case for those cities with some near London, if you take the Berkshires, the Hampshires, the Gloucestershires, those counties are not full of people who come from London at the weekend as they are of their own market towns and local communities.

“You have to go to the rural areas, areas which basically have been left behind by the post-war elite, where they still have their identity.

“I don’t think a lot of the urban areas do, I think there is a schism growing between those two parts of Britain.”

He added: “I want to live in a country where people do have a community, they do have an identity. And actually, if people want to come here, they should come here on our terms.

“They should adopt our language, they should adopt our culture, and they should fully sign up to what we stand up for and the libertarian values that make us what we are.”

Lowe was one of five Reform MPs elected to Parliament in what was an unprecedented success for the populist party.

Nigel Farage took over as leader weeks ahead of the vote and continued the party’s laser focus on immigration.

The divisive nature of the political issue was on full display in recent weeks as many took to the streets to voice their anti-immigration sentiments in the wake of three killings in Southport.

A crazed knife rampage at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class led to riots on the streets of Britain with many targeting mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers.
