‘This is what happens when you mess with Nigel’: The bitter row tearing Reform apart
A vicious feud between MP Rupert Lowe and ‘messianic’ Farage erupts into public view, bringing the party’s honeymoon period to a decisive end

Only five months prior, Rupert Lowe had been among Nigel Farage’s most enthusiastic supporters, frequently posting on social media platform X throughout the autumn with messages such as “Nigel is right”, “Nigel is bang on”, and “Well said @Nigel_Farage, well said indeed.” Farage himself had expressed tremendous satisfaction when Lowe became one of five Reform MPs elected to Parliament, declaring that he would be a “terrific colleague” who would undoubtedly “put the people first”.
