Nigel Farage is facing questions over his leadership of Reform UK following the row over Rupert Lowe. The Great Yarmouth MP was suspended from the party amid allegations about his conduct, which he denies.

Reform UK has accused Rupert Lowe, one of its MP s, of threatening Mr Yusuf, and has reported him to the police, who say they are investigating. The party has also appointed a senior lawyer to look into claims of bullying in his office. Reform UK has also suspended Mr Lowe, reducing its parliamentary strength to just four.

Nigel Farage is Reform UK 's "only ticket" to 10 Downing Street, according to a leading pollster. James Johnson of JL Partners said the party would not have won any seats at the last general election if the arch-Brexiteer had not made his bombshell comeback.
