Nigel Farage Declares 'No Way Back' for Suspended MP Rupert Lowe as New Party Formation Looms with Elon Musk's Interest

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, is experiencing significant internal conflict following a public dispute with Rupert Lowe, one of its five Members of Parliament. The tension escalated after Lowe criticized Farage's leadership style, calling it 'messianic', and was subsequently suspended from the party amid allegations of bullying and threats against party chairman Zia Yusuf. Lowe has denied these allegations, describing them as a 'witch hunt'. The conflict has deepened with Farage declaring that there is 'no way back' for Lowe into Reform UK, accusing him of attempting to damage the party. Lowe has responded by suggesting that the party should hold a vote to determine his standing within Reform, challenging Farage's assertion that the party is democratic. Farage has also criticized Lowe's stance on Pakistani rape gangs and his calls for mass deportations. Amidst this turmoil, there are indications that Lowe might be considering forming a new political party, potentially with the support of former Reform deputy leader Ben Habib, who was ousted by Farage. This move could be further bolstered by Elon Musk, who has previously expressed interest in backing a rival to Reform led by Lowe.
