The Reform Party has confirmed that they have suspended Rupert Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, following a series of allegations made against him. Lowe has fiercely denied the allegations and said that he is considering legal action against Reform for libel. Reform also confirmed that the allegations had been referred to the police, with the Metropolitan Police saying in a statement:
“On Thursday 6 March we received an allegation of verbal threats made by a 67-year-old man on Friday 13 December 2024. Officers are carrying out an assessment of the allegations to determine what further action may be required.”
A spokesperson for Reform added:
“In addition to these allegations of a disturbing pattern of behaviour, Mr Lowe has on at least two occasions made threats of physical violence against our party chairman. Accordingly, this matter is with the police.”
