Summary
MP Rupert Lowe was kicked out of the Reform party earlier this year after a very public spat with Nigel Farage. He claims “lawfare“ and says Farage was trying to jail a political opponent. Reform say he was dropped for his behaviour after bullying allegations came to light.
Yesterday the CPS announced no further action would be taken against Lowe, concluding that there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.
We speak to him on today’s episode about bullying, grooming, and the accusation that Farage was trying to get him locked up.

| 1:24.0 | Why on earth are reformed sources putting it about to the media that Rupert Lowe has got dementia? |
