Nigel Farage is facing a fresh headache within his own party after Reform MP Rupert Lowe publicly challenged his leadership, sparking calls for him to be disciplined. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has suggested Farage should consider removing the Reform whip from Lowe after what he described as an act of “defiance”.
Speaking on GB News, Philp reacted to Lowe’s warning that Reform UK needs to start “behaving as if we are leading and not merely protesting”. The Great Yarmouth MP also took a swipe at Farage, calling him a “messiah” and urging him to transform the party into a “properly structured” political force with a clear front bench.
