Rupert Lowe has hit back after his suspension from Reform UK, claiming he was sidelined for being a “tall poppy” who threatened to overshadow Nigel Farage, reported the Independent. Meanwhile, Farage has insisted that Lowe’s removal was due to a “behavioural problem” that had been ongoing for months.
Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, was stripped of the party whip on Friday over allegations about his conduct—claims he strongly denies. Speaking to right-wing commentator Dan Wootton on YouTube, Lowe suggested Farage had a history of falling out with people he viewed as potential rivals.
