Rupert Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth and leader of the Restore Britain party, has been barred from using the freedom of information website WhatDoTheyKnow. The decision, which follows Mr Lowe submitting over 1,000 requests, was criticised by the MP as "not in the spirit of transparency".
Mr Lowe's extensive inquiries through the platform, which facilitates public access to government information, included questions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hires and training, alleged grooming gangs, and universal credit provisions for refugees.
