For Britain is a far-right populist and anti-islamic political party in the United Kingdom. Founded in October 2017, it was founded by prominent anti-Islam activist Anne Marie Waters after she was defeated in the 2017 UKIP leadership election by Henry Bolton. It currently has one local councillor, Brian Silvester, who defected from UKIP representing Rope Parish, in Cheshire.[1]

For Britain was created by a split from UKIP as Waters' views were branded 'neo-Nazi' by UKIP leader Henry Bolton and former leader Nigel Farage.[2]
