Restore leader Rupert Lowe is accusing Reform UK's Nigel Farage of 'outright lying' about an electoral pact offer—he says no talks have taken place, despite Farage's claim that he's open to conversation. Lowe emphasized Restore 'remains open' to potential discussions. As reported by the Guardian, Reform UK has unveiled plans for an 'integrated surveillance command' to unify military and intelligence surveillance at the nation's maritime border, with armed forces authorized to intercept boats attempting illegal crossings and return them to France.
