Nigel Farage Vs Rupert Lowe: What is the row engulfing Reform UK?

Описание: Rupert Lowe has asked Nigel Farage to “have dinner” with him after he lost the Reform UK whip following allegations of threatening violence towards the party chairman.

The party reported the Great Yarmouth MP to the police, and Scotland Yard has said a complaint of “verbal threats” made on Thursday about an alleged incident last December was being assessed by officers.

Reform also said it had received evidence of “serious bullying” and “derogatory” remarks made about women in the MP’s offices, with two separate staffers said to have made allegations.

The party’s chief whip has now said that Mr Lowe’s “unwillingness to co-operate in an investigation” means that the parliamentary party “cannot function effectively whilst Rupert is a Reform UK MP”.
