Restore Britain’s Rupert Lowe Declines to Say Whether King Is a White Briton
Nick Robinson pressed the former Reform UK MP for evidence as he repeated claims about a “gradual Islamification” of Britain.
- On Thursday, Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe appeared on the BBC Radio 4 Today show, where he alleged a "gradual Islamification" of the UK and repeatedly refused to defend his claim that King Charles is not a "white Briton."
- Presenter Nick Robinson pressed Lowe on a report by Matt Goodwin, which Lowe frequently cites, claiming white Britons will be a minority by 2063; the report defines "white Briton" as requiring two UK-born parents, effectively excluding King Charles, whose father Prince Phillip was born in Greece.
- During the tense exchange, Lowe accused the BBC of "whitewash" and peddling DEI, while Robinson defended the broadcaster's rape gang coverage, stating "We covered rape gangs in detail, we covered the national enquiry."
- Relations between Restore Britain and Reform soured this week after Lowe called Reform leader Nigel Farage a "liar" regarding communication, following Lowe's acrimonious departure from Farage's party in March 2025.
- Criticism followed the interview, with Robinson describing Lowe as "a man with money and a grudge and a social media account who airs his prejudices on X" backed by Elon Musk, as Restore Britain faces ongoing scrutiny.
