Met Police launch probe into suspended Reform MP Rupert Lowe over claims of ‘verbal threats’


SUSPENDED Reform MP Rupert Lowe is being probed by cops over allegations of “verbal threats”, the Met confirmed today.

It comes after the 67-year-old politician was accused by party chairman Zia Yusuf of threatening him with “physical violence”.

Mr Yusuf also claimed the Great Yarmouth MP bullied two members of staff.

A spokesperson for the Met confirmed it has launched an investigation “into an allegation of a series of verbal threats made by a 67-year-old man”.

The alleged threats date between December 2024 and February 2025, and “inquiries are ongoing”.

Mr Lowe strenuously denies the accusations against him and claimed they are retaliatory smears for his criticism of Mr Farage’s leadership.

He said: “I have instructed lawyers to represent me in this matter.

“My lawyers have made contact with the Met Police, and have made them aware of my willingness to co-operate in any necessary investigation.

“My lawyers have not yet received any contact from the Police. It is highly unusual for the police to disclose anything to the media at this stage of an investigation.

“I remain unaware of the specific allegations, but in any event, I deny any wrongdoing.

“The allegations are entirely untrue.”

A civil war erupted in the Reform Party last week as Mr Lowe issued a blow-by-blow rebuke to each of Mr Yusuf’s charges.

The former Southampton FC chairman said it was “highly unlikely” he would return to the party but that he was not intending to stand down.
