Rupert Lowe says he has instructed solicitors to begin defamation claims

Rupert Lowe has said he has instructed solicitors to begin defamation claims against Reform UK’s leader, chief whip and party chairman.
The MP for Great Yarmouth issued a statement on Thursday calling on Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson and Zia Yusuf to retract “fake allegations” against him, and said he would otherwise begin High Court proceedings.
It comes after Mr Lowe was suspended as a Reform MP last month, when the party issued a statement detailing allegations of bullying in the MP’s offices and accusations of threats of physical violence towards the party chairman, which he denies.
‘Serious harm’
In a statement on Thursday, Mr Lowe said Reform’s March comments had “caused serious harm” to his reputation.
He added: “I have today instructed my solicitors Brett Wilson LLP to send letters of claim to Reform’s leader and director Nigel Farage, Mr Anderson and Mr Yusuf asserting claims for defamation.
“I call on the party, Mr Farage, Mr Anderson and Mr Yusuf to do the right thing and retract these false allegations. In the event that they are unwilling to do so it is my intention to issue High Court proceedings.
“Whilst I have no desire to litigate, I will do what is necessary to ensure my reputation is restored.”
Reform UK did not immediately comment.

Skip fire of a party just had extra fuel lobbed in.
This’ll be fun. Nigel loves being in the spotlight.
Hahahahahahahaha
Pause for breath.
Hahahahahahahaha
I do hope this is a highly damaging process for both parties.
Reminds me of a song from 1979, XTC, Lowe’s only making plans for Nigel.
Nicely done.
I gather that all is not well within the Reform camp!!!
One of their senior persons in Wales made one of the most disgusting racist marks I have ever heard. Advocated murder by wanting to go out and sink the boats!!!
Has he named Ed Sumner in his legal claim?

Watching the reactionary jackals tear into each other this close to a Senedd election is wonderful. Keep it up!
‘Reform UK’ and ‘reputation’ should never appear in the same sentence, other than here of course to make the point.
Oh dear, the nasty n***e party is having a few issues??
Brilliant news, I hope it’s incredibly damaging.
