Rupert Lowe threatens legal action against Reform UK amid bullying allegations

Rupert Lowe, a former MP of Reform UK, is preparing to take legal action against the party after being suspended over allegations of bullying and making violent threats. Lowe claims the accusations are part of a 'vindictive witch hunt' due to his critical stance on party leader Nigel Farage's leadership. He has denied all allegations and indicated that his legal team is preparing a case to address what he calls falsehoods against him. Farage and other party leaders have noted ongoing behavioral issues with Lowe, emphasizing the need for an independent inquiry into the matter. The situation has escalated tensions within Reform UK, with Lowe suggesting he may consider joining another political party if reconciliation is unlikely. Meanwhile, party deputy leader Richard Tice defended the decision to suspend Lowe, insisting it was necessary to maintain a duty of care within the organization.
