Rupert Lowe set to be paid as much for divisive posts on X as for being MP

Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe is earning up to £1,476 an hour from X for posts that include demands for mass deportations, according to his own declarations. His income from the platform has surpassed £105,000 since the 2024 election and could soon match his £98,599 MP salary. Critics say X's revenue-sharing scheme incentivizes divisive content and that Elon Musk is effectively funding and boosting an ideologically aligned British politician.
