New initiative led by MP Rupert Lowe outlines legal and logistical plan to remove illegal migrants from the UK within two to three years.

A political initiative launched in 2025 by Independent MP Rupert Lowe has formally transitioned into a political party and unveiled a 100-page policy document outlining proposals for large-scale deportations and structural legal reforms to Britain’s immigration system.
The organization, Restore Britain, released its policy blueprint titled Mass Deportations: Legitimacy, Legality, and Logistics, authored by Harrison Pitt. The document sets out a strategy aimed at removing what the group estimates to be between 1.8 and 2 million illegal migrants currently residing in the United Kingdom.
Founded by Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, the group initially operated as a cross-party coalition before announcing its reorganization into a formal political party. Additional information about the party’s platform is available through its official website, Restore Britain.
In a recent social media post, the party stated that membership had surged following the announcement of its formal launch and encouraged supporters to join, as shown in a February 17 post.
The policy paper argues that the scale of unlawful migration represents a significant governance challenge and calls for sweeping legislative changes. Among its recommendations are amendments or repeals of existing statutes, including portions of the Immigration and Asylum Act, the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act, and the Equality Act 2010. The document contends that certain legal frameworks have limited the government’s ability to enforce removals effectively.
A central component of the proposal involves reassessing the United Kingdom’s relationship with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the Human Rights Act. The paper states that judicial interpretations of Articles 3 and 8 of the ECHR have frequently impeded deportation efforts. Restore Britain advocates for withdrawal from the ECHR or, alternatively, the passage of what it calls a “Great Clarification Act,” which would permit Parliament to override specific judicial rulings by majority vote in cases deemed to involve national interest.
Operationally, the plan outlines a multi-tiered enforcement strategy. Proposed measures include expanded use of electronic visa verification systems, stricter Right-to-Work and Right-to-Rent compliance checks, biometric requirements in banking, and reforms to public service access policies. The document also proposes encouraging voluntary departures, estimating that self-deportations could outnumber forced removals by a ratio of three to one.
For individuals who decline voluntary return, the plan envisions expanded immigration enforcement capacity, increased detention infrastructure—including use of former military facilities—and the use of charter and commercial flights to facilitate removals. It also proposes diplomatic and economic measures against countries that refuse to accept repatriated nationals, including visa restrictions and aid adjustments.
The policy framework includes retrospective reviews of asylum grants deemed improperly issued and states that no future amnesty programs would be supported under the proposed system.
Restore Britain argues that although implementation costs would be significant in the short term, long-term reductions in public expenditure on housing, healthcare, and social services would offset those expenses. The paper cites polling data indicating majority public support across multiple regions of the UK for deporting individuals residing in the country unlawfully.
The release of the deportation blueprint coincides with the party’s formal political reorganization, positioning Restore Britain as an electoral vehicle for voters seeking stricter immigration enforcement and expanded parliamentary authority over border policy.
No formal government response to the proposals has been issued.
