UK to end immigration from third world countries?

Rupert Lowe, a British MP has announced that his Restore Britain party aims to completely end immigration from developing countries. He made this declaration at the party conference, naming countries like Somalia, Pakistan, Eritrea, Albania, Afghanistan, Iran, and Bangladesh.

“Immigration into Britain from the Third World will end entirely,” Lowe said, outlining a proposal to stop civilian immigration from countries including Somalia, Pakistan, Eritrea, Albania, Afghanistan, Iran and Bangladesh.

The UK lawmaker made this statement at the Restore Britain party conference on Saturday, 3 October 2026, during a speech setting out the party's political programme.

"There will be no Pakistani immigration into Britain," he warned.

“We will implement our red list. We will do what any self-respecting nation should do. Discriminate,” he added.

Lowe has represented Great Yarmouth in the British Parliament since July 9, 2024, when he was sworn in following his election victory. He has since become a prominent figure in Britain's hardline immigration debate, pushing for measures that go beyond simply cutting net migration.

His party's proposals include deporting undocumented migrants, removing foreign nationals legally residing in the UK if they fail to meet stricter requirements, abolishing the refugee system and tightening the rules for obtaining British citizenship.

“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,” he said.

The proposed restrictions would mark a major departure from Britain's existing immigration framework, which allows foreign nationals to enter the country for employment, education, family reunification and asylum.

Immigration has become a key political issue in the UK, with concerns over rising migrant numbers, pressure on public services, housing shortages and the cost of accommodating asylum seekers fuelling public debate. The issue has also given rise to political movements such as Restore Britain, which advocates tighter immigration controls.

The party has taken a hardline position on migration, seeking to convince voters that it intends to deliver on its promises through stricter enforcement and sweeping policy changes.
