Rupert Lowe's Fury At 'Coward And Viper' Nigel Farage | Ben Habib Responds To Reform UK Psychodrama
Former Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib joins Kevin O’Sullivan to discuss the news that Rupert Lowe has been told he will not face criminal charges after being accused of making threats against party chairman Zia Yusuf.
This comes as former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe accused his ex-colleagues of a “sinister” attempt to use the police to silence him, as he launched a furious attack on Nigel Farage.
The Crown Prosecution Service said there was not enough evidence to bring charges against “a sitting MP” over an alleged incident at the Palace of Westminster in December.
Mr Lowe, who now sits in the Commons as an independent, accused Reform’s leader, Mr Farage, of being a “coward and a viper”.
He said: “This was not normal political infighting.
“It was a sinister attempt to weaponise the criminal justice system against me, putting not just my political future but my liberty at risk.
“All because I dared to raise constructive criticisms of Nigel Farage, stood firm on deporting illegal migrants, and pushed for Reform to be run democratically – not as a vehicle to stroke one man’s ego.”
Mr Lowe said he was “ashamed” to have shared a platform with Reform.
“Farage is no leader – he is a coward and a viper. I feel deeply embarrassed that I ever thought he was the man to lead,” he said.
Mr Lowe said Mr Farage “must never be prime minister”, warning: “If Farage were ever to control the vast power of the British state, I believe he would not hesitate to do to his adversaries what they have tried to do to me.
