About this episode

The episode explores the rise of Rupert Lowe and his far-right political party, Restore Britain, and its implications.

Rupert Lowe is the MP for Great Yarmouth, and the leader of Restore Britain, a right-wing political party which launched in February this year. So, how did the leader of such a young, fringe party end up appearing as a guest on the world’s most popular podcast? And what does it tell us about how the far-right works?  Reporter: Poppy Bullard Producers: Amalie Sortland and Ada Barume Sound Design: Dominic Delargy Artwork: Lucy Stevenson Editor: Matt Russell  Hosted on Acast.
