MP Rupert Lowe criticized Nigel Farage and Reform UK in a recent interview with the Daily Mail, questioning whether Farage would be able to deliver as prime minister. In response, Lowe was suspended by the party, with Reform UK accusing him of making threats against the party chair, Zia Yusuf. Lowe denied these allegations, calling them entirely untrue.
Political correspondent Eleni Courea suggests that this feud may have stemmed from Elon Musk’s interest in Reform UK last year. Musk had reportedly considered donating $100m to the party, which could have had a huge impact on their success. However, Musk later tweeted that Farage was not the right person to lead the party, leading to tensions between him and Farage.
The situation highlights the complex relationships and power dynamics in political parties, especially when it comes to outside influencers like Elon Musk. Lowe’s suspension and the allegations made against him show the internal strife within Reform UK. It will be interesting to see how this situation develops and whether it will have any impact on the future of the party.
