A police investigation has been launched into claims of “verbal threats” allegedly made by MP Rupert Lowe.
The 67-year-old MP for Great Yarmouth was suspended by Reform UK on Friday amid allegations about his conduct, which he denies.
In an interview on Dan Wootton’s YouTube channel, he suggested he was suspended by Reform UK for being a “tall poppy” who threatened to overshadow Nigel Farage – as the leader claimed there had been a “behavioural problem” for months.
In a statement on Friday, Reform said Mr Lowe had been reported to the police over alleged “threats of physical violence” to party chairman Zia Yusuf.
It also claimed that two women working in the MP’s offices had made complaints about “workplace bullying” and “derogatory remarks”.
Mr Lowe has strenuously denied the claims, saying the allegations of bullying do not relate to him and were made by staff who themselves faced disciplinary action.
Talk’s Ian Collins discusses the latest on the story with The Spectator’s political correspondent James Heale.
