In an explosive development, billionaire Elon Musk has branded Nigel Farage's Reform UK party as "nazis." This intensifies an ongoing feud sparked by Laila Cunningham, Reform's mayoral candidate, who accused Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain party of being "neo-nazi." Musk's response on social media platform X, claiming "THEY are the ones who want race extinction," has escalated the situation dramatically.

Rupert Lowe, backed by Musk in the past, is demanding an apology from Cunningham, warning that such allegations endanger their members. Despite leading in opinion polls, Reform UK has not responded to Musk's allegations.

Musk, who once supported US President Trump, has criticized the casual use of terms like "fascist" or "Nazi" before. Lowe dismissed the insults from Reform, arguing the party is outdated and ineffective, and called the attacks repetitive.

The conflict comes soon after Lowe initiated Restore Britain, claiming over 70,000 members, a figure not independently verified. With recent defections from local councillors, the new party appears to be gaining momentum.

Nigel Farage brushed off threats from the new party, criticizing Lowe's extreme policies like mass deportations. He stated Restore Britain has moved beyond reason, asserting that Reform remains the authentic centre-right force in British politics and dismissing other minor parties’ efforts.

Restore Britain is positioning itself further right than Reform UK, challenging Farage's influence. Farage argued that setting up a new party isn't enough for political success, emphasizing Reform's established reputation.

As tensions rise, Musk’s intervention adds a new layer of controversy, highlighting the evolving power struggle within right-wing politics in the UK. The intensity of remarks and strategic moves by these parties reflect a deeply competitive political scene.

Key Takeaways

• Musk calls Reform UK "nazis," fueling a political feud.

• Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain garners attention and members.

• Farage maintains Reform UK as the true centre-right option.

Liberals can sit this out as right-wingers call each others Nazis.

But of a tough one for right-wingers too, they can’t blame this on Liberaks.

Well, not rationally anyway, so can’t and won’t aren’t the same thing.

Note to Farage, you’re not getting anymore cash off Musk.

Note to Lowe, keep your eye on the cash.

Musk maybe the Worlds richest man but does that entitle him to have the worlds biggest mouth? He loves sticking his nose into every countries business bar his own.

So can Tories like me wait it out.. Wait for the People's Front of Judea to eat the Judean People's Front or vice versa.

Meanwhile Death has been stalking. Liz Truss seen meeting the American President.

Too many foreigners in Reform

Mohammed Zia Yusef (Muslim, parents from Sri Lanka)

Laila Ahmed Cunningham (Muslim, parents from Egypt)

Suella Braverman (Hindu cultist, parents from India/Mauritius)

Nigel Farage (wannabe German)

No thanks, these foreigners don't represent my interests.

More Christians needed as representatives IMHO.

Reform more Islamic than Nazi but what do I know.

If Elon is looking for Nazis, all he has to do is look in a mirror.

So which are you, High Church, Prod or a Papist? And whats wrong with the Atheists and Agnostics?

Has to be the right kind of Christian surely? Don't want those ungodly Papists running the show. We bow to no one. Don't forget your history. No Surrender, up King Billy etc.

I'm OK with any kind of cultural Christian representing me.

Hopefully they aren't too devout, just church for christening, marriage and deaths, Xmas mass is probably a step too far.

I attended Anglican, Baptist and Catholic youth clubs and married a Methodist.

Hmm, Pot, Kettle springs to mind.

Elon Musk appears to form and break off friendships and alliances with great frequency.

Yes Reform are in danger of becoming the Tories 2.0. They need to be careful not to alienate the increasingly based British public.

Hopefully Restore keep them on the straight and narrow.

Plenty of time for them reach some kind agreement to prevent the right wing being split and letting the communists in via the back door again. Fortunately Labour are pretty much universally hated now.

Plenty of time for even more splits in the rightwing.

I’ve always said nobody does an internecine knife fight like the Tories, but with Farage’s health wobbling and self serving refugees from the Tories seeking asylum in Reform UK Ltd., we might be in for the kind of treat not seen since the hey day of the Roman coliseum.

Rupert Lowe clowning around for the entertainment of the rightwing cheap seats just adds to the spectacle.

Just keep in mind: worse is better.

Elon, Nigel and Rupert are just not serious people. It's fun watching the Right tear itself apart. 😆

Unusual. I know many Baptists, because Bob Jones told them, that sincerely believe every Catholic, while being nice people, are all going to hell. Plus the Evangelists and their Rapture nonsense.

What about being a Jehovah's Witness representing you, and announcing that he's going to ban blood transfusions. Or a Mormon deciding polygamy is ok.

What does being a "bit Christian" mean? Pick and choose which of the 10 commandments to follow? The 10 Commandments aren't even exclusive to Christians, being a Jewish invention.

Funny to read Farage appoint a "shadow cabinet" when half of them aren't MPs.

Clown show.

Version 2.0 is an upgrade. I consider "Mock Tory" to be more appropriate. They're Phoneys.

I quite like the Mennonites

Mormons are a bit annoying

Amish a bit extreme

All more my culture than the barbaric Muslims.

Which barbaric muslims have you lived among, or is it something you read about?

Mennonites and Amish are both Anabaptists. Pretty much the same.

I assume you are one of those Coptic Egyptians or maybe a St Thomas Christian.

Notably approving of Jehovah's Witnesses and their ban on blood transfusions for kids.

I suppose you're off to wash the feet of some lepers now.

Elon Musk Calls Farage's Reform UK 'Nazis' in Fierce Feud

Perhaps EM meant it as a compliment? Neither of them is anything like Francis of Assisi, eh?

Fascists don't argue among themselves about the nuances of Fascism (the way the various Socialist and Commie ideologues do) but rather who is going to be the "top dog" as do animals that live in packs.

Not to deflect, but now that the King has had his own brother arrested (King Charles III removed his brother's title last year and earlier said in a statement, "the law must take its course". https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c70kjr9wjw0t ) perhaps he intends to do a bit a house cleaning. Tower of London been renovated lately?

Starmer isn't serious. Neither is Lammy or Rayner. They got to power though.

Did you consider Boris serious?

Keep underestimating and insulting them though. Worked with Brexit, right?

Let's hope Corbyn and Sultana can put their differences aside to form a party to challenge Labour. I think they're still arguing about the name though...😄

I don't think anyone, even most Tories, considered Boris to be a "serious" politician. Maybe that was part of his "charm'!

Your opinion about Starmer is acknowledged. Personally, while I think he is a decent person, he's rather too serious and could do with a lighter, more charismatic touch. However, it's moot as he won the election and is unlikely to be standing again in the next one.

Yes, I'd like to see a serious challenge for Labour on the left. However, it's unlikely to come from Corbyn's misfits, just as Farage and Rupert are unlikely to get anywhere near real power.

Yes Labour did a good job of hiding Starmer's true nature until he was elected. We've seen it now though. It's over.

The Dems should have done it with Harris but they let her speak. Hence the super serious Trump got in.

Might wanna check those polls. Labour are only going to get worse as they run out of other people's money to spend over the next 2 years.

The polls fluctuate and will continue to do so. Wait until Reform have to come clean about their policies for the NHS and other social issues!

https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/trackers/voting-intention

With 3.5 years still to govern it’s understandable that the government is doing all the unpopular things first but the polls suggest that it’s closer than the right wing media want us to believe.

Unsurprisingly, it went virtually unreported that, even though Labour are unpopular at the moment, the bookies have Labour to win most seats . Source for this was LBC, you know, that Commie, far left, woke radio station that employs/ employed Stalinists such as Nick Ferrari, Farridge, Hatey Hopkins and Julia Hardly Sober.

It’s a joy to witness the far right wing nuts fighting like rats in a sack.

Kier and Zak=a win double!

This is Musk. Sounds like a compliment...

Fascists going at each other's throats! 😅

Don't you just love these guys ,,,,!!!!

A terrible right-winger with a trans son. Not a good father sample for his bubeleh.
