MP Earns Thousands from X for Divisive Posts, Rivaling MP Salary

Rupert Lowe, leader of the Restore Britain party, is reportedly earning substantial income from posting on Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Declarations in the register of MPs' financial interests reveal Lowe has been paid up to £1,476 per hour for his content on the platform.

This income stream from X is significant enough that it is on track to rival his salary as a Member of Parliament. Critics have raised concerns that the platform's financial incentives may be encouraging inflammatory content, particularly as Lowe's posts have included calls for mass deportations.
