Extending an olive branch to Restore Britain voters, Mr Farage added: "The key to our success will be those who have been tempted by thinking Restore might be the future, they need to understand that Restore, at most, will be competitive in one seat, and we will be competitive in hundreds. "If those Restore supporters online see that we are the only vehicle, genuinely on the centre-right, that can beat the Labour Party and come back to us, then our polling will start to look very different, very quickly."

Reform UK's support has slipped from 30 per cent to 21 per cent in the past 12 months, with the emergence of Restore Britain eating into Mr Farage's support. Nigel Farage sat down with GB News this morning | GB NEWS Some polls even put Reform UK behind Kemi Badenoch's Conservative Party.

Rupert Lowe registered Restore Britain in March | GETTY However, Mr Farage remains confident Reform UK will take the fight to Labour if Andy Burnham calls a snap election on the issue of Europe and migration. He said: "If this Prime Minister is taking us into a direction where the main centre of debate and the next general election is going to be Europe and immigration, then bring it on, I say, because I'm the only leader that's been clear and consistent for 30 years on these subjects and will deliver.

"You get ebbs and flows in political fortunes, you get ebbs and flows in personal relationships. That's life. "Reform has troughed over the course of the last few weeks, and I think there's a big audience out there wanting to hear from us again." Restore Britain, which was founded by ex-Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe in March 2026, has been accused of letting Labour in through the back door by standing in local council by-elections. Andy Burnham's Labour is leading in the polls | PA Contests in Blackpool, Dover and Northumberland have all seen left-wing candidates win by a smaller margin than Restore Britain's overall vote.
