You’ve got nearly three-quarters of a million followers and the charisma to start a party, shame your policy platform looks like it was drafted between press statements and tweetstorms. At this point your DMs must be full of people asking if the manifesto comes in 280-character instalments.

Launched Restore Britain with a massively viral announcement and converted long-term public profile (MP, MEP, football chairman) into a large, mobilized online following, turning controversy into tangible political momentum.

To reshape public debate and national policy around sovereignty, immigration and cultural conservatism by building a dedicated movement and turning online outrage into real-world political power.

Deep commitment to national sovereignty, traditional cultural values and strict immigration controls; skepticism of supranational institutions and digital surveillance; a zero-tolerance attitude toward practices he views as incompatible with those values. Prefers direct, unapologetic messaging and prioritizes action over compromise.

Extraordinary ability to generate attention and engagement; clear, decisive voice that rallies a passionate base; experience in leadership roles across business, sport and politics; skill at turning controversy into reach.

Highly polarizing rhetoric that alienates moderates and fuels sustained backlash; prone to incendiary or imprecise claims that invite fact-checking and reputational risk; messaging often sacrifices nuance and long-term coalition-building for short-term virality.

To grow on X, lean into substantive, shareable content: publish short policy threads that explain solutions (not just slogans), use video and Spaces for live Q&As, run targeted ads to reach persuadable audiences, and spotlight local success stories from constituents. Reduce gratuitous incendiary tweets, they drive engagement but also alienate undecided voters and invite platform moderation. Combine emotional appeals with clear calls to action (petitions, sign-ups, local events) and collaborate with sympathetic influencers and local journalists to broaden reach beyond the base.

Fun fact: his Restore Britain launch tweet went viral, reaching tens of millions of views, and he’s amassed roughly 733k followers while tweeting over 21,000 times. He’s also an ex-Southampton FC chairman, former MEP, businessman and farmer, which makes his CV uniquely multitool.

Today marks the end of the survivor participation for our rape gang inquiry hearings. I simply have no words that describe the bravery and courage of these women who have come forward. No words. What they have been through is indescribable. It has been a life-changing experience for me. I never thought such evil was possible. Never. Not here, in Britain. In our towns, in our communities. It is pure evil. These men are so utterly depraved. If it were up to me, thousands of them would receive the death penalty. To do what they did, on such an industrial scale, to innocent young girls - many of whom were already in such an incredibly vulnerable place? There is no redemption possible. The world is a better place without them in it. I started this inquiry because so many others failed. Speaking honestly, I did not understand how deep this evil is rooted in our society. Police, politicians, council officials, the NHS, social workers, children’s homes - it is everywhere. IS everywhere. Not was. IS. Meeting these women, and men, listening to how severely they were failed by those tasked to protect them? My views have changed forever. I knew it was bad. I never knew how bad it was. Every single one who has come forward is a hero in my view. The courage and grace in how they have conducted themselves is unlike anything I have seen in my life. All because they don’t want others to suffer the same fate. That is an extraordinary sacrifice. They could have just moved on with their lives. Tried to forget. But no, they chose to do this. I am in awe of all of them. Our hearings will finish tomorrow, following the contribution of three more expert witnesses. Then the next stage begins. We will produce a report, and then we will seek to put people in prison. There are FAR more testimonies and evidence to release - this will keep coming and coming and coming. Even with a media blackout, we have reached tens of millions. We have made real progress. And following such immense demand, we will reopen the portal so that more women can tell their stories. This is just the beginning. Politicians from all parties have failed these girls, again and again and again. I do not intend to join that list. To everyone who donated, thank you. To our team, thank you. And especially to the survivors, thank you. I believe that together we can start to make Britain understand what is happening, and then finally do something about it.

I urge @elonmusk, @JDVance and the wider American administration to deploy whatever appropriate power they hold to prevent Keir Starmer from banning X in Britain. Free speech must be protected, and such disgusting authoritarianism must be resisted. We need help.

I am disappointed, but not surprised, to read Reform’s untrue and false allegations. Let me be abundantly clear - this investigation is based on zero credible evidence against me, as has been repeatedly stated by the neutral investigator. None has been provided. I have cooperated and spoken at length with the KC they instructed, at great cost to the party, to investigate a minor staff matter. I have just spoken to the KC. She is dismayed that this statement has been made, and reiterated that no evidence against me has been sent to her. She stated that this has been issued before the investigation has even started. She is shocked at the process, shocked at the communication from the party, and shocked that no credible evidence has been given, despite her repeated requests. I was sent an initial letter late on Friday afternoon last week, again with no evidence provided, with no prior warning and no attempt to understand the full position. Allegations of physical threats are outrageous and entirely untrue. I have never made any derogatory comments about women, or those with disabilities. This is a lie. These allegations are not even referring to me. I will be seeking legal advice immediately. There is no credible evidence against me, as the KC has stated on numerous occasions. It is no surprise that this vexatious statement has been issued the day after my reasonable and constructive questions of Nigel and the Reform structure. It was issued on X late on a Friday afternoon, with no prior warning. All I stated was that communication needs to improve, delegation needs to improve, structure needs to improve - these are all reasonable requests of a party looking to form the next Government. I stand by everything I said. I have been pushing for this behind the scenes for many months, with zero success. I have been frozen out of meetings, policy discussions, press conferences and more. My repeated requests for better communication and regular meetings have been ignored and mocked. Honestly, I have tried and tried - and will continue to try. I did not speak publicly without exhausting all other options, repeatedly. I have done everything in my power to resolve this behind closed doors. Sadly, I failed. Our voters, our members and our country all deserve so much better than this. To Reform supporters of mine, please stay with the party. We must win the next election. There is no other choice. Infighting serves nobody but our enemies. This could have all been resolved with even the most basic level of communication. I do not believe that Reform members will be pleased to know that their membership fees are being spent on instructing expensive lawyers to investigate their own MPs, over matters that are entirely baseless and have been dealt with in the correct Parliamentary procedure, with HR’s full involvement and support. The staff member in question only raised a vexatious complaint once disciplinary proceedings had been initiated against them for serious wrongdoing. The other individual mentioned, dropped her appeal. If they want to kick me out over false claims, they’ll have to finally present some credible evidence against me. There is none, as the KC has just told me. Again. A complete inability to accept even the most mild constructive criticism without such a malicious reaction is not effective leadership. This is our party as much as it is Nigel’s.

I have been betrayed more times than I care to remember, but never by people I would have called friends. It’s not a very pleasant feeling, to be entirely honest. Business, football, politics. Dirty games, all of them. I have always tried to surround myself with decent, honest and fair individuals, who I feel I can trust. Loyalty to those people has not always come cheap, costing me my job on more than one occasion. That is something I would not change. Of course I’m not a politician. I’m 67, and am fortunate enough to be able to financially support myself and my family. My wife thinks I’m mad to trudge around my little wonderful corner of Norfolk talking about bins and business rates. I love it, I genuinely do. Give me a heated argument with a cantankerous local councillor over mojitos on the beach any day. It’s the honour of my life to be the MP for Great Yarmouth. Yes, I’ve been outspoken on issues. Immigration, rape gangs, deportations, the rapid way in which our country is changing. And yes, that has not been appreciated by some within Reform. Let me be clear - I do not care. I will say what I believe is right, even if that upsets certain egos. I’ve run businesses all my life. Some successful, some not. The one thing in common from all of the successful ones? Communication. Clear, honest communication. Does requesting regular meetings of MPs make me a monster? Is asking to even just see policy before it’s made public unreasonable? Is it fair to be insulted because I want people to finally talk to each other? I have torn out what remaining hair I have left over the last few months trying to talk. That’s it. Just talk. I have tried, and tried, and tried to resolve all of this behind closed doors. I can only smash my head against a brick wall for so long. My one hurried and immediate summons to Reform HQ, which I could not make due to prior commitments, was the first and the last invite I would receive from the leadership. Put simply, Reform has handed a priceless gift to those individuals who have presided over our country’s relentless decline. I am going to now repeat publicly an invitation that I have extended to Nigel Farage in private multiple times over many months. Every offer has been refused or ignored. Please, let’s have dinner and resolve this in a manner that our members, and the country, would expect. Any time, any place. You’ve got my number.
