Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe won’t face charges over ‘verbal threats’ & slams Farage for ‘weaponizing justice system’

NO criminal charges will be brought against Reform MP Rupert Lowe after he was accused of making verbal threats.

The Crown Prosecution Service stated that they do not have sufficient evidence to prosecute a current Member of Parliament for an alleged incident at the Palace of Westminster in December.

Malcolm McHaffie, who leads the CPS Special Crime Division, mentioned: “After carefully examining the evidence regarding an accusation of threats, we have determined that there are no grounds for pressing criminal charges against the MP in question.

“After reviewing various witness testimonies, we have determined that there is not enough evidence to demonstrate a strong likelihood of obtaining a conviction.

“The Crown Prosecution Service’s function is not to decide whether a person is guilty of a criminal offence, but to make fair, independent, and objective assessments about whether it is appropriate to present charges for a criminal court to consider.

“Based on the careful consideration of this evidence, we have decided that our legal test for a criminal prosecution has not been met.”

Great Yarmouth MP Lowe was suspended from Nigel Farage’s party earlier this year amid a deepening civil war and allegations about his conduct, which he denies.

He said he had instructed solicitors to begin defamation action over the claims.

A statement from former Reform MP Rupert Lowe released after it was revealed no charges would be brought against him said there had been a “sinister attempt to weaponise the criminal justice system against me”.

This had put “not just my political future, but my liberty at risk”, he claimed, adding: “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.

“How did Reform respond? With a brutal smear campaign.

“For the sin of asking legitimate questions about the party’s direction, policies and leadership, I was vilified and targeted.”

Mr Lowe said he was “ashamed to have shared a parliamentary platform” with Reform UK.

He added: “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.”

Rupert Lowe said Nigel Farage “must never be prime minister” as he continued his statement.

The Independent MP for Great Yarmouth said: “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.

“With real power, I fear he would wield that immense responsibility to crush dissent – as he has done time and again over the years.

“Smearing my innocent staff in a pathetic attempt to attack me was disgusting, alongside briefings to journalists from senior Reform figures suggesting I had dementia – the lowest, vilest tactics I have seen in my 67 years.

“They are not fit to lead. They are not fit to be MPs.”

In an appeal to Reform UK supporters, Mr Lowe added: “Please listen when I say this: For the good of our country, Nigel Farage must never be prime minister.

“To the millions of decent Reform supporters – you must do what you believe is right.

“I, personally, could not remain in an organisation led by such men.

“They do not deserve your support, your time, your energy, your money, or your vote.

“Mere reform is inadequate – we need radical, principled change.

“I urge you to do what you think is right.

“When the time soon comes, we will work together to advance a political movement that is credible, professional, decent, democratic and honest.

“There will, very soon, be an alternative to the rotten leadership of Reform.”
