Reform UK leader Nigel Farage defends suspending MP Rupert Lowe
Reform British leader Nigel Farage defended the decision to suspend a MP as he warned against “continuous infighting” within the party.
Writing in the telegram, Farage acknowledged that the industry “had fallen into a “unified consciousness” during the reform, but said that it was “unthinkable” to not take action.
Since Congressman Rupert Lowe is Suspend reformhe will now be independent while conducting inquiries.
Lowe is accused of bullying the workplace, which also poses a physical violence threat to the party chairman. He denied these claims.
In response to Farage’s Telegram work, he said it was a “completely false and toxic narrative.”
Lowe is a member of Congress in Great Yarmouth – he said there was “zero reliable evidence” for him and he was suspended in an interview earlier this week in response to his criticism of Farage.
Reform deputy leader Richard Tice and Laura Kuenssberg told the BBC Sunday on Sunday that it was “absolutely no truth”, claiming there was a link between Lowe’s comments on Thursday and the allegations against him a day later.
Members of Congress in Boston and Skegnis said he was aware of Lowe’s suspension before the announcement on Friday, but “our “anxiety” about what Lowe is allegedly doing” has been on for some time.
“If the last election taught us anything, it is that the public doesn’t like a party that engages in infighting,” Farage wrote.
He said the reform created a unified party, but “this sense of unity has been overlooked thanks to one of our MP Rupert Lowe, who has imposed a series of criticisms on our actions and their main players.”
Farage said that since his election eight months ago, Lowe and his council colleagues have fallen “in one way or another”.
“We did everything we could to keep the cover well, but in the end, the containment strategy always fails,” Farage said.
Farage’s successor reform of the Brexit party has been on high ground in recent polls, but the bank has exposed divisions within the party, meaning its five MPs have now dropped to four.
Lowe is accused of workplace bullying conducted by two female employees in the office.
He was also referred to the police for accusing him of physical violence threats he had caused at least twice, Zia Yusuf.
The party has appointed a lawyer to investigate the charges. Lowe had previously said he had “cooperated and spoke” with his lawyers.
Farage said in the telegraph article that the reform assumed a “duty of care” to its employees and that conducting an independent investigation was “completely correct”.
“It is unimaginable that we can simply ignore these allegations,” he added.
Respond to Farage’s work Lowe A new 250-word statement posted on X Say he has “great respect” for him – but “you know it’s a completely false and toxic narrative.”
He said he only learned about the lawsuit against him after being interviewed by the Daily Mail, which he criticized Farage.
Law said he had asked Farage to have dinner with him to resolve the situation, adding: “This should all happen behind closed doors. When I push it over and over again.”
On Friday, former conservative commentator Tim Montgomerie rebelled against reforms last December, saying he “make up on these tensions between Farage and Roy” once he arrived.
“I don’t know about these personal allegations, but I think it will surface at some point,” he told BBC Newsight.
When the Daily Mail spoke with Lowe on Thursday, the split appeared publicly, saying the reforms under Farage remained “a protest party led by the Messiah.”
