The Reform of the UK leader, Nigel Farage, defends the suspension of the Rupert Lowe parliamentary

The leader of the UK reform, Nigel Farage, defended the decision to suspend one of his parliamentarians, while warning against “constant confrontation” in political parties.

Writing in the telegraph, Farage acknowledged that the turn “eliminated” the “feeling of unity” in the reform, but said it would have been “inconceivable” not to take measures.

Are his first public comments from MP Rupert Lowe has been suspended by the reform and will now stand as an independent, while an investigation is carried out.

Lowe is accused of intimidation at work and also separately from threat of physical violence against the party president. He denies the statements.

Responding to Farage’s telegraph play, he said it is a “completely false and poisonous narrative.”

Lowe – who is the parliamentarian for the Great Yarmouth – said that there is “credible evidence” against him and that he was suspended in response to him criticizing him in an interview earlier this week.

Farage wrote: “If the last general elections have taught us something, it is that the public does not like the political parties that engage in constant conflicts.”

He said that the reform built a unified party, but that “because of one of our parliamentarians, Rupert Lowe, downloading a dam of criticism against our operations and the main actors, that feeling of unity was protected.”

Farage said that Lowe fell with his colleagues “in a way or another” from his choices eight months ago.

“We did my best to keep a lid for things, but in the end, isolation strategies fail invariably,” said Farage.

The reform, the successor of the Brexit Party of Farage, has grown in the last polls, but the turn exposed divisions within the party and means that its five parliamentarians are now at four.

Lowe is accused of intimidating at work done by two female employees in his offices.

He was also sent to the Police by reform about the accusations that he had threats of physical violence at least twice at the president of the Zia Yusuf party.

The party appointed a lawyer to carry out an investigation into accusations. Lowe previously said he “cooperated and spoke to the lawyer.

In his telegraph play, Farage said that the reform has a “duty of care” to his staff and that it was “entirely correct” to carry out an independent investigation.

“It is inconceivable that we could simply ignore such accusations,” he added.

Responding to Farage’s play, Lowe issued a new statement of 250 words on X, Saying he had “huge respect” for him – but “you know this is a completely false and poisonous narrative.”

He said he found only about the procedures against him, after giving an interview with the Daily Mail in which he criticized him.

Lowe said he asked Farage to have dinner with him to solve the situation, adding: “All should have happened behind the closed doors. While I pushed again and again. “

On Friday, Tim Montgomerie, a former conservative commentator who failed to reform in December last year, said as soon as he came to the reform that he “raised these tensions” between Farage and Lowe.

“I do not know, obviously, these individual statements, but I think that will come at one point at some point,” he told BBC Newsnight.

Splits appeared publicly when the Daily Mail published the interview with Lowe on Thursday, where he said that the reform under Farage remained a “Messiah -led protest party.”
