Independent MP Rupert Lowe Recorded Making Antisemitic Remark in Parliament

Rupert Lowe, former Reform UK MP for Great Yarmouth, was caught on camera making an antisemitic remark during a parliamentary meeting earlier this year, referring to a camera as a "Jewish camera" because it was "so small." The leaked footage shows Lowe making the comment with parliamentary staff present, prompting laughter and a warning that including the footage could end his career, which Lowe acknowledged with a laugh. Lowe denied recalling the comment but described it as a joke if it was made. The Board of Deputies of British Jews condemned the remark as "bizarre and outdated antisemitic language" and called for an apology. Lowe was suspended from Reform UK following allegations of bullying and threatening party chairman Zia Yusuf, which he has denied and called politically motivated. Since his suspension, Lowe has sat as an independent MP and expressed interest in either forming a new right-wing party or joining the Conservatives, with possible support from billionaire Elon Musk.
