On Friday, MP Rupert Lowe criticized Nigel Farage in an interview with Daily Mail, saying that Reform UK is a “messiah-led protest party” and that “it's too early to know if Nigel will deliver the goods.”
The next day, Lowe was stopped by the party. Reform UK has issued a statement making a series of allegations against him, including his threats against party chair Zia Yusuf.
Lowe strongly denied the allegations, saying that his threats against Yusuf were “not entirely true.”
ELENI Coureathe Guardian political correspondent says Lucy Huff She believes the feud will go back to last year, when Elon Musk showed a special interest in British reform.
“Mask is not shy about interfering and supporting political parties in the UK and elsewhere in Europe,” she says.
“There were reports in the late autumn that he even gave $100 million to reform the UK to promote them to the government. Well, obviously, this was transformative to the fate of Farage's Party and he was very excited by his prospects.
“Now, all of that kind have gone south around Christmas…[when Musk published] In the tweet that Farage doesn't need anything to lead the UK reform, someone else is needed. ”
