The Daily T
Rupert Lowe: 'Farage is leading a cult, I might start my own party'
As the row inside Reform rumbles on, Camilla speaks to the man behind the headlines: Rupert Lowe. In the wake of his blistering attack on his former ally Nigel Farage, Lowe tells The Daily T the Reform leader is “running a cult” and a “narcissist”.
He also says he might start a new party to the right of Reform, calling for “a satisfactory alternative” that is “more than just a mobile PR machine”.
Later, we bring you part two of The Daily T’s interview with veteran Tory MP and father of the house Sir Edward Leigh, who’s leading the charge against the legalisation of assisted dying. Ahead of another debate by MPs on Friday, Sir Edward explains why he has joined forces with Labour grandee Diane Abbott in an attempt to halt the Bill’s progress.
