😜. Let’s see which mental midgets get triggered

My statement on Rupert Lowe. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03/0…

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has broken his silence on Rupert Lowe: "If the last general election taught us anything, it is that the public does not like political parties that engage in constant infighting. "The never-ending civil war that came to define the last Conservative government resulted in the loveless, though large, Labour majority that Britain is saddled with today. I’m acutely aware of this, which is why Reform UK has devoted so much time and effort since July to building a unified national party machine. "Now, thanks to one of our MPs, Rupert Lowe, unloading a barrage of criticisms against our operations and its main actors, that sense of unity has been dented. "The truth is that Mr Lowe has made some excellent interventions over the past eight months and helped to stimulate public debate on a range of pressing issues facing the country. "What many people may not have realised, however, is that in that time he has also managed to fall out with all his parliamentary colleagues in one way or another. We did our best to keep a lid on things but, in the end, containment strategies invariably fail. "One clear example of the type of difficulty that I have in mind occurred in the chamber of the House of Commons just as Parliament was about to enter the Christmas recess. "It was the last parliamentary debate of the year. Mr Lowe, who represents Great Yarmouth, asked Mike Kane, the transport minister, a question about the MV Ruby, a damaged cargo ship which had docked in his constituency while carrying hundreds of tonnes of the potentially explosive fertiliser ammonium nitrate. "Mr Lowe was unhappy with the answer that he received from Mr Kane and, at the end of the debate, he crossed the floor to make his feelings known. "A confrontation ensued. Heated language was heard. The minister’s shoulder was pushed. In the end, the Serjeant at Arms had to step in to calm things down between the two parliamentarians. Commenting on Mr Lowe’s conduct later, Mr Kane told GB News that “the anger displayed towards me clearly showed a man not in charge of his own faculties”. Nobody in Reform UK said anything publicly about what had happened. Instead, we carried on. "Yet the fact is that, sadly, there have been too many similar outbursts from Mr Lowe, often involving the use of inappropriate language, to the despair of our chief whip, Lee Anderson. I have been surprised and saddened at this behaviour. Certainly, I never saw anything like it in the European Parliament in 2019 when I was the leader of the Brexit Party and Mr Lowe was an MEP colleague. "Last week, the chairman of Reform UK, Zia Yusuf, showed me two letters sent by female members of staff to our party headquarters. Each letter contained an accusation of workplace bullying involving Mr Lowe. One of the incidents in question is alleged to have taken place within the parliamentary estate. "As a responsible political party, Reform UK has a duty of care to every single member of staff, whether they are employed by us directly or indirectly. With that in mind, I believe that our chairman was entirely right for Reform to appoint a KC to conduct an independent inquiry. It is inconceivable that we could simply ignore such allegations. "Whether this turn of events prompted Mr Lowe to use a newspaper interview this week to launch a political attack against me, I cannot say. All I do know is that Mr Yusuf was presented with complaints which he could not simply disregard. That is not the way of Reform UK. "But let’s pretend for a minute that Mr Yusuf had turned a blind eye to what the letters allege. Can anybody imagine what sort of a storm Reform UK would be facing now if it transpired that this unfortunate situation had been dealt with by trying to play it down or, worse, sweep it under the carpet? "I am certain that to have done nothing would have been considerably worse for everybody concerned: the two women who claim they are the victims of workplace bullying; Mr Lowe; Mr Yusuf in his capacity as party chairman; and the reputation of Reform UK. Trust is the cornerstone of politics, after all. "For now, we must wait and see what findings the parliamentary authorities reach. We must also wait to hear what the KC who has been tasked with looking into these matters has to say. "Until we know more, I must return to the crucial job of getting 1,500 vetted Reform UK candidates out into the field for the local and mayoral elections on 1 May. It is essential that they stand for public office with a united team foursquare behind them. "If Britain is to thrive, we must rid the country of this socialist government. That is why I believe that Reform UK matters more now than it has ever done before. That is why it is so important that our party – and every single one of its representatives – behaves responsibly at all times. Nothing less will do."

I have never wanted to allow Shamima Begum back into Britain, as I literally say in this interview.

@LukeTryl @British_Enjoyer Rupert Lowe’s ego has caused this mess, not Nigel Farage. Posts artificially promoted by Elon Musk to a vast American audience don’t represent his appeal in the UK.

Reform leader @Nigel_Farage is the single biggest threat to Labour and the Tories. The idea that anyone else could BEGIN to do what he does is comical

No.

Britons emphatically back Farage over Musk on Tommy Robinson row, new poll reveals gbnews.com/politics/farag…

@RHunterClarke

Don’t jump on the bandwagon. Remember, Americans on X don’t represent the views of our country 🇬🇧

Reform would be nowhere without Nigel Farage. It’s ridiculous to suggest someone else should lead the party. Spot on from @HarrisonForOBP here 👇

Reform hits another record high, this time 22% with pollsters More in Common Something’s happening out there.. mattgoodwin.org/p/breaking-ref…

@PattiRaddi2 Yes, but because the prisons can’t keep him safe, the punishment is completely disproportionate.

@PattiRaddi2 We’re looking to follow your lead! 🇺🇸🇬🇧 Just hoping Elon doesn’t interfere too much with Reform because things were going well under Farage!

@PattiRaddi2 It really isn’t something he’d want to get involved with. For the everyday Brit, Tommy Robinson is known for all the wrong reasons, so the MSM would twist it as much as they could to make Reform less appealing to the masses.

@PattiRaddi2 You have to appeal to voters. Trump has massive popularity but is part of a mainstream party. In the UK, our mainstream parties are falling apart, and Reform is looking to take the opportunity for real change. Currently, the polling figures are fantastic but this would harm that.

@PattiRaddi2 Farage is right to distance himself from Tommy Robinson, whilst still disagreeing with the fact he’s been put in solitary confinement.

@PattiRaddi2 Specifically on the recent videos shared by Elon Musk, he makes valid points. However, with his checkered past and being a former member of the BNP and EDL, you simply cannot endorse him if you’re looking to be a mainstream political party.
