"We will implement our red list."
Restore Britain’s Rupert Lowe has vowed to end immigration from developing countries entirely, naming the likes of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Somalia and Afghanistan.
Speaking at the party conference on October 3, 2026, Lowe outlined plans to introduce a list of countries from which civilian immigration would be prohibited, describing the proposals as part of a wider programme to overhaul the UK’s immigration system.
Lowe said: “Immigration into Britain from the Third World will end entirely.”
The politician named Somalia, Pakistan, Eritrea, Albania, Afghanistan, Iran and Bangladesh among the countries that would be affected.
He warned: “There will be no Pakistani immigration into Britain.
“We will implement our red list. We will do what any self-respecting nation should do. Discriminate.”
Lowe, who has represented Great Yarmouth since winning the seat at the 2024 general election, has emerged as a prominent advocate of hardline immigration policies.
His Restore Britain party has proposed measures that extend beyond reducing net migration, including deporting undocumented migrants, removing foreign nationals who fail to meet stricter residency requirements, abolishing the refugee system and tightening the rules for obtaining British citizenship.
Rupert Lowe said: “When I launched Restore Britain in February this year, I made it very clear what we intended to do. I’m not interested in conserving a rotten system that does not work.
“I’m not interested in reforming a corrupt establishment that does not serve us.”
The proposals would represent a significant departure from the UK’s existing immigration framework, which provides routes for people to enter the country for work, education and family reunification, alongside arrangements for those seeking asylum.
Immigration remains a major issue in British politics, with debate centred on migration levels, pressure on public services, housing availability and the cost of accommodating asylum seekers.
Political parties have taken differing positions on how the government should manage migration.
Some have advocated for tighter border controls and stricter eligibility requirements.
Restore Britain has positioned itself around a sweeping overhaul of immigration policy, with Lowe arguing for restrictions that would go considerably further than conventional proposals to reduce migration.
Lowe previously made anti-immigration remarks, with a post reading:
“I don’t believe we should import millions of Pakistanis and Indians to do jobs that unemployed Brits should be doing.
“If that makes me a racist, then so be it.”
