Restore Britain’s Ghost Candidate

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

A new political force, Restore Britain, is stirring up trouble in Makerfield—with a message so hardline on immigration it’s pulling in ex-Reform voters, even if their candidate, Rebecca Shepherd, barely shows up. Led by Rupert Lowe, the party’s online presence and deportation pledges are winning hearts, while voters admit they’ve never met Shepherd—just seen her stables or glimpsed her from afar. One voter, shaken by an Irish incident, says “enough is enough”; another, caring for his girlfriend, feels the system’s ignoring families like his. Posters are replacing Reform’s, but the real power’s in Lowe’s videos—not Shepherd’s face. It’s a by-election where the platform’s louder than the person.
