Restore activists at ‘white supremacy summit’ with neo-Nazis: Evidence emerges on eve of vital by-election that vote for Rupert Lowe’s divisive party is a grave mistake

Activists campaigning for Rupert Lowe’s Restore party have joined neo-Nazis at the white supremacist summit, The Mail on Sunday has revealed.

Supporters campaigning for votes in this week’s knife-edge Makerfield by-election were among those attending a far-right event calling for a whites-only Europe.

The news comes as Mr Lowe told this newspaper he did not care that his party had split the Right Wing vote in the constituency and allowed Labor leadership hopeful Andy Burnham into the House of Commons.

Polls show Labor just five points ahead of Reform UK in Makerfield; Restore Britain gets eight percent of the vote; This is more than enough to deny Mr Burnham victory if they cast their vote for Nigel Farage’s party.

But Mr Lowe was defiant about the prospect of helping Mr Burnham move towards No 10 and moving the Government further to the left, telling this newspaper Restore’s actions had ‘made not a jot of difference’.

Among those campaigning for Restore in the constituency on Saturday was Callum Barker, a ‘hardcore neo-Nazi’ who was at the extremist Return Summit in Portugal two weeks ago.

Repatriation is a far-right concept that refers to ethnic cleansing through the mass deportation of non-white minority populations.

This was designed as a response to the ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory, which suggests that global elites (mostly Jews) are systematically trying to replace white people with immigrants.

Barker shared another photo of him at the far-right summit last month.

Restore party member James Munro (left) defended the photo on the grounds that it was “a different time” when he posed for it nearly a decade ago.

Barker posted images referencing ‘1488’, an acronym for a 14-word white nationalist slogan, and ’88’, which stands for ‘Heil Hitler’, the eighth letter of the alphabet.

Another Restore activist, Lucy White, spoke at the conference and interviewed prominent American white supremacist Jared Taylor, whom she described as ‘a true pioneer, a true legend’.

There was also a Restore activist speaking on a panel, who used the name ‘Angloid’ online but was identified as 19-year-old Lorcan Barker. All three were photographed with Mr. Lowe.

Barker recently released a video claiming Reform UK was ‘woke’ after Mr Farage stated that mass deportations of hundreds of thousands of immigrants were not a realistic possibility.

Steve Laws, another vocal supporter of Restore and described as a neo-fascist and ethnic cleansing extremist, was also at the event.

Posting online on Saturday about the success of Restore’s Makerfield campaign, Laws said last week: ‘We all know the Jews should be deported. I don’t care where they go. But they can’t stay here.’

Last night a Restore Britain spokesman described the comments about the summit as “completely irrelevant” and a “hit piece”.

Poll experts believe Restore could be the deciding factor in Thursday’s contest going in Burnham’s favor.

More In Common pollster Luke Tryl said this weekend: ‘Andy Burnham is on track to win Makerfield thanks to Restore Britain.’

But when asked whether Farage would mind losing the seat, Mr Lowe said: ‘I don’t think it will make a difference whether Andy Burnham wins or not.

‘Those in power are the Labor Party. ‘Most of them are completely incompetent, they have done nothing and they know they will lose their seats at the next election.’

Meanwhile, Mr Farage called on voters on the Right to ‘come together’ to ensure Labor does not take the seat. He said: ‘I understand voters want radical change, so do I.

‘Now is the time to come together and stop Andy Burnham and the Labor Party; This is our only opportunity. ‘Reform is the only party that promises wholesale change from the established status quo that can win.’

Mr Lowe was elected as a Reform MP in the 2024 general election but left the party due to public disagreements with Mr Farage and founded the rival party last year.

He denied that his personal feud with Mr Farage had encouraged him to split the vote, adding: ‘Nigel doesn’t want to lead.

‘He led the opposition, that’s all. I can’t understand why he did what he did to me. This was a surprise. I was providing the support of the party. ‘I’m a team player.’

Some supporters of his party have links to extremists. Last month the Mail revealed that Restore had reinstated Dundee member James Munro, who was expelled over photographs of him holding a neo-fascist flag and giving a Nazi salute.

Munro said: ‘This picture was from about ten years ago. It was a different time. There was no legitimate path for young men in nationalism, you had to get dirty back then.’

Last month’s Migration Summit in Figueira da Foz, Portugal, was organized by Austrian activist Martin Sellner, who has been banned from entering the UK.

He previously admitted to being a neo-Nazi who put a swastika sticker on a synagogue at the age of 17; However, he tried to distance himself from his past.

Sellner praised Restore Britain, saying: ‘It is very important that Restore maintains a sharp profile and criticizes Farage and Reform from the Right.’

Taylor, the extremist praised by Lucy White, once wrote: ‘When black people are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization – any civilization – disappears.’

Also attending the summit was Belgian extremist Dries Van Langenhove, who was sentenced to a year in prison and later suspended in 2024 for his role in operating chat rooms filled with neo-Nazi memes and praises of Adolf Hitler.

He was also convicted of Holocaust denial; the judge said he “enjoyed Nazi ideas that caused so much suffering.”

If Mr Burnham wins at Makerfield, Sir Keir Starmer is expected to face moves to oust him within hours.

Although the Prime Minister insists he will stay to meet the challenges, Labor MPs are plotting to force him to set a timetable for his departure.

If Mr Burnham gets into Downing Street he will be making clear that he wants to pursue a more Left-wing agenda than Sir Keir’s.

Ed Miliband is tipped to become Chancellor and those close to Mr Burnham have already stated that major tax increases will be on his agenda.
