In a post on X, the Great Yarmouth MP and leader of Restore Britain explained his plan. He said that if his party were in power, Pakistan would be labelled a “rogue state” from the very first day. The idea is to put strong pressure on Pakistan through economic and political steps.
Lowe said his plan would stop all immigration from Pakistan to the UK. He also wants to introduce trade sanctions and tariffs that could hurt Pakistan’s economy. On top of that, he suggested taxing money sent from the UK to Pakistan, ending all foreign aid, and even asking Pakistan to repay money the UK has already spent.
