An individual who donated £2,500 to the political party Restore Britain previously made statements praising Adolf Hitler and posted anti-Semitic remarks on social media, according to material reviewed by this publication.

Miles Routledge, a YouTuber who refers to himself as the “last great British explorer” and “Lord Miles” online, joined Restore Britain in February by contributing the £2,500 donation required for membership in the party’s Cromwell Club. The club, established to support the party’s research, outreach, and campaign activities, requires this annual donation from its members.

Publicly available posts attributed to Routledge include support for Adolf Hitler, whom he called a “great man,” and expressed a desire for “another Hitler” to emerge by 2039 to lead a purported uprising. In January, he posted on the platform X: “Hitler was a great man, God bless him. We need another Hitler.” Six months prior to that, he wrote that the prospect of a future Hitler gave him “joy and hope in this world.”

Routledge also made several anti-Semitic statements, including claims that Jewish people deceive the public about their true population figures to maintain a “brink of extinction” narrative. In some posts, he described phrases like “Awesome Jew” as oxymoronic and compared them to “loving pedophile” or “peaceful genocide in Gaza.” In one post, he alleged that Jewish populations avoid census participation and conceal statistics to advance this perceived myth.

Following his donation, Routledge altered his online profile picture by adding a navy cap emblazoned with Restore Britain branding and voiced support for “total remigration” in the UK, indicating a closer alignment with the party’s agenda.

Restore Britain confirmed that it had accepted Routledge’s donation but said the funds were refunded “weeks and weeks ago.” A party spokesperson emphasized that Routledge is no longer a member and has no ongoing relationship with the party, dismissing the coverage as a “failed hit-job.” The spokesman declined to provide details on the timing of the refund.

The party has recently been under heightened scrutiny due to controversial views expressed by some members and associates, notably co-founder Charlie Downes. Earlier revelations indicated that Downes suggested former politician Nigel Farage had been “bought” by Jewish backers and made remarks widely condemned as discriminatory against Muslims. Reform UK, another political party, has ruled out any alliance with Restore Britain unless Downes is expelled, a move the party leader Rupert Lowe has so far resisted.

Attempts to obtain comment from Routledge were unsuccessful ahead of publication.
