RESTORE Britain leader Rupert Lowe has announced the party’s policy of “rolling back devolution” after a historic meeting of Plaid Cymru, SNP and Sinn Fein leaders.
In a post on Twitter/X, the far-right leader and former Reform UK MP said it would seek to “disempower those who wish to tear our United Kingdom apart” and that a “fully policy paper” is currently under development.
“The SNP , Plaid Cymru and Sinn Fein leaderships are gathering today to sign a deal ultimately aimed at breaking up our United Kingdom,” Lowe wrote yesterday.
“Restore Britain takes the opposite view. Today I am announcing our policy of rolling back devolution. We will restore democratic accountability and strengthen the Union.
“Whilst ensuring a fair say for the Scottish, the Welsh, the Northern Irish – and yes, the English.”

He added: “A full policy paper setting out how we would do this is being developed. It will be bold and radical, exactly what is required to respect and represent the different parts of our family whilst resisting efforts to disintegrate what we have built together.
“The choice is clear. Accepting the status quo, and its endorsement of ever greater fragmentation of our United Kingdom. That is the commitment of every other major party.
“Or a determined effort to bring our family back together through rolling back failed devolution. That is what Restore Britain will deliver.”
At the historic meeting in Cardiff on Monday, the devolved leaders – SNP leader John Swinney , Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth and Sinn Féin vice president Michelle O’Neill – said that the breakup of the UK is imminent.
Along with Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald, who is the leader of the opposition in the Irish Dáil, the group called on the UK Government to “prepare for, plan and facilitate constitutional change”.
During what Swinney described as a “landmark day”, he also predicted Andy Burnham would be “the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom” and said a Scottish independence referendum should happen within the next five years.
The leaders – who met on Monday morning in their capacity as party leaders, rather than as officials in their respective governments – signed a memorandum of understanding which reiterated their commitment to independence.
The joint agreement signed by the three parties said: “The political landscape across these islands is changing.
“For the first time ever, people across these islands have first ministers in Scotland, in Wales and in the north of Ireland who are all committed to independence from the United Kingdom.
“For people watching across these islands – for people watching around the world – there could be no clearer sign that Westminster ’s time is coming to an end.”
The leaders added: “Our nations have the right to self-determination. No Westminster government has the right to block democracy or undermine the principle that our people will decide their own future.
“We recognise that our parties have different constitutional positions and that each nation will determine its own future in its own way and in its own time.
“We call for the British Government to prepare for, plan and facilitate constitutional change in each jurisdiction.”
