Leaked messages reveal leader’s retort after Rupert Lowe called Reform UK a ‘protest party’ and Farage ‘messianic’

Nigel Farage accused the suspended Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe of “damaging the party”, calling his behaviour “disgusting” in leaked messages which reveal the antipathy between the two right-wing politicians.

Farage had sent the private Whatsapp messages to someone who had worked for Lowe in recent years. His criticism came after Lowe called Reform a “protest party” and Farage “messianic” in an interview with the Daily Mail in March.
