A clergyman who is a member of Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain and has spoken at a Tommy Robinson rally has used his pulpit to describe Judaism as a “false Antichrist religion” and accuse Jewish religious groups of practising “black magic”.
The Reverend Brett Murphy delivered the remarks in a sermon on 2 August.
Murphy began with an uncompromising attack on Judaism, calling it “a false Antichrist religion”.
Murphy claimed that some groups within modern Judaism had embraced “pagan ideas” and “occult practices”, accusing them of practising “black magic”.
The National Secular Society subsequently accused Murphy of promoting antisemitism and reported Emmanuel Free Church of England in Morecambe, where he remains a registered charity trustee, to the Charity Commission. The regulator has said it is assessing the concerns raised. No regulatory finding against Murphy or the charity has yet been made.
Murphy has become part of a political network bringing together Christian nationalism, the street movement around Tommy Robinson and the emerging electoral vehicle of Rupert Lowe.
He has written publicly, “I support Unite the Kingdom”, going onto say, “I am a member of both Advance and Restore, I believe in political activism.”
Advance UK has since been deregistered, but Restore Britain is now a registered political party. Its own membership pitch places “secure borders”, “national pride” and “traditional Christian principles” alongside lower taxation for businesses and attacks on the welfare state.
Murphy’s relationship with the movement around Tommy Robinson is equally public. In February 2025, he addressed a Robinson rally and later uploaded the footage.
He has since supported Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom mobilisations. The May 2026 Unite the Kingdom demonstration saw him urge tens of thousands of supporters to become politically active and join parties such as Restore.
At the May rally, Restore Britain branding was visible in the crowd and chants of “Rupert” were heard near the stage after Robinson referred to the party.
Stand Up To Racism has warned that Restore is attracting support from known fascists, including former members of neo-Nazi parties such as the British National Party, Patriotic Alternative and Homeland.
Restore also calls for the banning of kosher meat.
