John Terry backs proposed UK law to 'ban foreigners' from collecting benefits

Former England and Chelsea centre-back John Terry has appeared to back a proposed UK law that would 'ban foreigners' from collecting benefits.

Terry, who is currently operating in the coaching room at Chelsea's academy, took to Instagram to support Rupert Lowe's proposed law, as the Restore Britain party leader posted a video of himself speaking in the House of Commons.

Lowe claims that 'foreigners' should not be allowed to claim benefits in the UK, with the 'billions' being re-allocated to lowering taxes.

He wrote: "We should ban foreigners from claiming benefits, and remove migrants who are incapable of financially supporting themselves - use those many billions to slash tax for the British men and women keeping the economy running."

Terry took to the Instagram post to voice his opinion, saying '100% yes'.

Lowe continued to call the UK Parliament 'pathetic cowards' over the lack of support for his proposed law inside the House of Commons.

The ex-footballer previously interacted with Lowe on Instagram over a post that called for a ban on the Burqa in the UK, and received support from the MP after backlash and 'flak'.

The former Southampton chairman and member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth in Norfolk launched the Restore Britain party in February after he was suspended from Reform UK.

His suspension from the party followed alleged threats of physical violence against party chairman Zia Yusuf, but he did not face any criminal charges.

Dennis Wise also voices support for the Restore Britain law

Terry wasn't the only ex-footballer to take to Lowe's Instagram post, as his former Chelsea and England teammate Dennis Wise also voiced his support.

Going above Terry, Wise replied to the post saying: "200%."

Wise, most known for his time in Chelsea blue as a bruising full-back, is now known more for his Sky Sports punditry and appearance on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2017.

As for Terry, since his retirement from football in 2018, he has bounced between the Aston Villa and Chelsea coaching staff, and has recently even announced plans to become a major influence on the board of League Two team Colchester United. A £14 million deal has seen him become an official shareholder in the club.
