Eight months in and the Reform UK Parliamentary party is disintegrating. Lowe has now had the whip removed.

Did someone say free speech?

https://www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-politics/reform-uk-organisers-members-threatened-dismissal-media/

Regional organisers and members of Reform have been told they are forbidden from speaking to the media or they will be dismissed by the party, LBC has learnt.

Lovely man

NEW: Met Police launches investigation into former Reform MP Rupert Lowe over allegations he verbally abused party chair Zia Yusuf, threatening in December to slit his throat. Lowe denies claims.

@PandoraSox I know him and he is indeed a very lovely man.

Is he though? Really? I mean he joined and represented a party that is filled with misogynists and racists. Is that what lovely men do?

Rupert is a lovely man and is innocent of any wrongdoing.

He may be innocent of the accusations Farage and co. have thrown at him, but he is not a lovely man!

Is Reform UK still one of Farage's companies or is it a proper party now?

Here's something I found out today on X. Farage and Yusuf registered a new company, Reform UK 2025 Ltd, on 18 February. The announcement by Farage that the party now belongs to the members is whitewash.

User1786 · 08/03/2025 15:39

well I how you are right but I don’t think reform care about this like that, they seem to be more like Trump voters in that respect unfortunately.

Is that like ‘Peace in our time”? 😂

It is still a PLC on Companies House, but didn't Farage say it belongs to the members now, or something like that.

Well they are calling each other liars, so it is true that it is not very "civil" 😉

Seeing as Farage loves Trump and his policies so so much anyone who continues to support ‘Reform’ plc would need to swallow and support Russian imperialism.

Very true.

You don't get it.

It is the in-fighting that could destroy Reform, not the nature of the accusations against Lowe.

Show quote history

Only five MPs and there's already a schism. So much for professionalising the party. The mess that is the USA, with Trump preening on his podium, is a warning to all potential Reform voters of the road we would be headed down if Farage took charge. I'm starting to wonder if Kemi Badenoch is biding her time, waiting for the Reform momentum to slow, although a bit of resistance to Vance wouldn't go amiss.

Oh that's it. One complaint. Labour anti Semitic members /councillors /mps, Tory crooks/bribe accepting /self contracts providing. All mps fiddling expenses.

I'd be concerned if I wasn't fed up with the lot of them....locally we have councillors claiming 30k in expenses to travel 10 miles at a time.

They are all...

Is it the end of Reform? Only on Mumsnet!

Yes. Only on MN do people hope to see a vile, xenophobic political party implode.

It's interesting that there was an article yesterday about Lowe criticising Farage and today this has happened.

I don't know if you're right @PandoraSox but I hope you are. Not a fan of them!
