Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe is no stranger to the spotlight. Nigel Farage’s former colleague has made headlines in recent months after he was suspended from the party following a rather unflattering interview he gave to the Daily Mail about Reform’s leadership. It quickly emerged that chairman Zia Yusuf and chief whip Lee Anderson had referred their former colleague to the police over ‘threats of physical violence’, with the Met Police launching an investigation into the parliamentarian. Earlier this month, news came that the Greater Yarmouth politician will not face criminal charges over the allegations – and Lowe was fast to tweet out a furious statement that branded his former party leader a ‘cowards and a viper’ over the matter. Tell us what you really think, Rupert!
Now it transpires that Lowe may be ‘open’ to joining the Tory party – after a meeting with onetime leadership candidate and shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick last week.
