An inquiry by Jacqueline Perry KC found credible evidence of harassment and a toxic office culture, intensifying scrutiny on Reform UK's governance and leadership.
- An independent investigation by Jacqueline Perry KC confirmed unlawful harassment of two women by MP Rupert Lowe and male members of his team.
- The report highlighted a toxic workplace culture, with Lowe failing to address complaints or the conduct of his staff.
- Disciplinary actions taken against the complainants were deemed by the investigation to be defensive measures lacking substantial justification.
- Lowe has denied the allegations, claiming they are part of a smear campaign, while his team has also rejected the findings.
- Reform UK has been advised to enforce strict adherence to parliamentary rules and the Equality Act 2010 to prevent similar incidents in the future.
