Miles Routledge

Miles Routledge, or Lord Miles on social media, is an English far-right YouTuber and war tourist. He gained notoriety for being evacuated during the 2021 Fall of Kabul after travelling Afghanistan to engage in danger tourism.

Early life Routledge worked part-time as a hairdresser as a teenager.

2021 trip to Afghanistan In March 2021, he began planning a trip to Afghanistan. On the same day, a spokesman for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said that they were "aware of [Routledge's] case" and were "attempting to reach the individual to offer assistance". His book Lord Miles In Afghanistan was released December 2022.

2023 imprisonment by the Taliban Routledge departed for a third holiday to Afghanistan in late February 2023, and was apprehended by the Taliban's General Directorate of Intelligence on 2 March 2023. After his AirPods were stolen and found in Pakistan, Routledge blamed Indians for stealing them, accusing them of being thieves and insulting them as 'cow worshippers'.

Restore Britain Routledge is a known supporter of the far-right political party Restore Britain and was noted in April 2026 for having called another Restore supporter a "liberal" for wanting to deport millions of people from the UK, saying: "I have better solutions." When asked about the comments in relation to a post from the previous year calling for another "Hitler", Routledge replied in the affirmative, also declaring his belief that journalists should be imprisoned.

Routledge gave Restore £2500 to become a member of its Cromwell Club, a group designed “to support the movement’s work [by] funding research, outreach, and strategic campaigns". The party told The Telegraph that they had refunded the amount amid publication of Routledge's comments praising Adolf Hitler and other antisemitic conspiracy theories.
