For Britain is a minor far-right political party in the United Kingdom. It was founded by the anti-Islam activist Anne Marie Waters in October 2017, after she was defeated in the 2017 UKIP leadership election by Henry Bolton.
Waters left UKIP and formed For Britain after she and her supporters were described as "Nazis and racists" by Bolton and UKIP's former leader Nigel Farage. The name is taken from her UKIP leadership campaign slogan, "Anne Marie For Britain". Waters said that the party would "speak to the forgotten people".
The party has support from Tommy Robinson, former leader of the English Defence League. Its platform includes reducing immigration to the UK , and for the immediate withdraw from the European Union. The Times claimed that the party intends to fill the space left by the demise of the British National Party, the party denies this.
