Rupert Lowe may join the Conservative Party

Rupert Lowe, a suspended MP from Reform UK, has been in secret talks about possibly joining the Conservative Party. The discussions come after a significant fallout with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Several Conservative MPs have reached out to Lowe since the split. He has had two private meetings with senior Tory figures. Some have suggested that he could join their party or collaborate with them. A source indicated that Lowe is open to various possibilities. The source mentioned that Lowe's support within the public has been underestimated by Reform UK. Lowe's current focus is on clearing his name regarding ongoing police investigations. He recently expressed his desire for "radical" change in British politics. Lowe has been supportive of Conservative policies, particularly on immigration. He praised Tory MP Robert Jenrick, who has publicly called for reduced immigration. Lowe's issues with Reform UK began when he described Farage as “messianic” in an interview. Following this, he was suspended over allegations of threatening violence against a party chairman. Additionally, he faces accusations of bullying two female staff members. Farage stated that Lowe will not be welcomed back into Reform UK.
