The internal conflict within Reform UK has intensified following the suspension of Great Yarmouth MP Rupert Lowe, who has been accused of making verbal threats against party chairman Zia Yusuf. The allegations, which Lowe denies, have led to a formal investigation by the Metropolitan Police. The situation has escalated into a public feud between Lowe and party leader Nigel Farage, with Lowe accusing Farage of conducting a 'witch hunt' against him. Supporters of Lowe, including former Brexit Party MEPs, have rallied behind him, suggesting that the suspension is politically motivated rather than based solely on the allegations. The party's deputy leader, Richard Tice, defended the decision to suspend Lowe, asserting it was 'right and proper.' Amidst the turmoil, there are indications that Lowe may seek to form a new political party, potentially with backing from influential figures like Elon Musk. Polls indicate that a significant portion of Reform UK voters believe the party would perform better under different leadership, raising questions about Farage's future as leader.

While pro/neither/against Reform voters are evenly split, those with the strongest opinions are in favour of a new leader 21% to 16%. This is a statistically significant majority. This suggests a much greater support for @RupertLowe10 than many previously perceived. https://t.co/UOt4wby5OL
