The Heritage Party is a minor political party launched in 2020 by the former UKIP official and ex-London Assembly member David Kurten. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kurten was highly active in the anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown protest movement, and Heritage has a distinctly conspiratorial focus, for example claiming in its manifesto that 5G and water-based fluoride are poisoning the country. However, he has since shifted the party’s focus to anti-immigration rhetoric. 

Kurten has also recently begun to dabble in antisemitic politics, complaining in February 2024 that a “Jewess” will “rule over” Mexico, and siding with a Holocaust denier in a social media debate. More extreme is the party’s General Secretary Madeleine Hunt, who, under the pseudonym “Mag Magz”, commented under a Telegram post about Israel by stating that “anti-Christianity [and] anti white race” were “Talmudic principles”.

Kurten’s party regularly contests elections, although Heritage candidates reliably poll poorly. It put up 41 candidates in the 2024 general election, all of whom lost badly, averaging 0% of the national vote share. The group’s local elections performance that year was only marginally less embarrassing, standing in 35 council seats and winning 2.7% of the vote.

Heritage does, however, have a handful of councillors at the parish level, the lowest tier of local government.
