Reform UK Faces Internal Turmoil as Farage and Lowe Clash

Party leader Nigel Farage and MP Rupert Lowe engage in a bitter dispute over leadership, policy direction, and allegations of misconduct.

Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe, key figures in Reform UK, are embroiled in a public feud over leadership style, party direction, and personal allegations.
Lowe has accused Farage of running the party as a 'messianic' figurehead and failing to address internal issues, while Farage has criticized Lowe for inappropriate behavior and divisive rhetoric.
The Metropolitan Police are investigating allegations of threatening behavior by Lowe, which he denies, claiming the accusations are part of a smear campaign by Reform leadership.
Policy disagreements include Lowe's push for more extreme measures on immigration and deportation, contrasting with Farage's more moderated populist approach aimed at broader voter appeal.
The infighting has raised questions about Reform UK's viability as a political force, with speculation about potential splinter groups or new parties forming as a result of the conflict.
