Reform UK’s complaint is a transparent attempt to distract from legitimate scrutiny of its candidate in Makerfield, following an investigation published by HOPE not hate last week, which revealed misogynistic and degrading comments he made about women. Reform may not like being scrutinised, but voters deserve to know who is asking for their support. It’s a shame that Nigel Farage has not put as much effort into vetting his own candidates as he has done making spurious complaints to the charity commission. Farage can complain all he want, but @hopenothate will not shy away from campaigning in Makerfield

Who does it ultimately serve when Restore attacks Reform, losing them support? In the event Reform drop ~5-7% in a General Election, due to Restore, they'd be forced into a coalition with the Tories to stop a socialist coalition Last year Cyabra ran a report into Lowe's sudden social media boost. You don't become an overnight sensation online with only 8% name recognition The report revealed a sophisticated Bot operation: cyabra.com/blog/online-ma… Who has the money and motive to do such a thing? Around the same time Rupert and I had a long phone call. He told me the Tories were desperately courting him. Or seemingly him, them This was not a secret. Read for yourself. It suggests he will 'work for' the Tories: thesun.co.uk/news/33989923/… I've no idea who at the same time told @elonmusk that Farage should be replaced by Lowe. That's the final missing piece of the puzzle Now, back in 2019, when we were MEPs and Boris called the election, Lowe collaborated on a list with the Tories called 'Men And Measures' with Dougie Smith. It was a list promising peerages, knighthoods and positions to Brexit Party candidates to stand down. My colleague Robert Rowland blew the whistle to me I called it out on Question Time and handed files to the Met Police youtu.be/R20EnPQwPQ8?si… Lowe became the first Brexit Party candidate to step down in Dudley North just before nominations closed and Farage was due to hold a big event there politicshome.com/news/article/b… Ask yourself today Does Lowe criticise the Tories? Or just attack Reform? Is Restore standing in Aberdeen South where Tories are putting in loads of resources? Or just Makerfield, where they only target Reform voters? How come Tories are silent on extreme elements of Restore - the only party to be so? Why did Kemi give Lowe a Committee appointment? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Tory Peer Lord Agnew donated £20k to Lowe in 2025 consolidate.org.uk/database/entit… This may all be circumstantial, but it's clear Lowe still has close connections with the Tories, begged to be part of them, but instead decided to make a party to attack Reform politicshome.com/news/article/e… It is fact that the party to ultimately benefit from reducing Reform support is The Tories. It's the only way they might be able to get close to power by ensuring Reform cannot form a majority government. To do that, they needed a vehicle to go after Farage Without a majority in Parliament, Reform won't be able to do anything they have proposed. Leaving the ECHR, deporting illegals and foreign criminals, cracking down on Islamism, overhauling immigration. The Lords, Commons, activist lawyers, civil service, will try to block everything unless Reform have a big enough majority to hold their nerve. If they're forced into.a pact with the Tories to stop a hard left coalition, it means everything would have to be passed by the Tories. The same bloody people would still be in power. The establishment wins, yet again. I know some Restore fanatics are fooled into thinking Reform is 'controlled opposition'. I suspect the opposite is true I write this not because I'm working for anyone, nor have an axe to grind nor have gone mad, nor have I been promised anything, nor am I having a sordid affair I know things others don't know because I'm one of vanishingly few people who had a front row seat for the past 6 years I know the people involved, and I know how politics works I want my country to get the radical change it needs. Lowe stands in the way of that. And I suspect, not by accident, joining the dots above

Another cracking day out on the campaign trail. Great response on the doors. Thank you to everyone supporting @reformparty_uk.

🚨 NEW: The Green Party’s Makerfield candidate Sarah Wakefield runs a charity which calls for British farming to be “decolonised” with “inclusive spaces” It also shared a report arguing perfectionism is an example of “white supremacy culture” [@billcurtis0 / @daisyeastlake]

🚨Dear Reformers, After months of hard campaigning, I hope you can understand that I was utterly shattered and needed some well earned rest and recuperation, which is why this is my first post since stepping down as Chairman. I leave the role incredibly proud of the unprecedented progress we made during the eleven months I served as party Chairman. During my tenure, our results were nothing short of phenomenal. We became the largest political party. On average, we welcomed a remarkable 6,000 new members every single month and to top it all off, we made another major breakthrough at the local elections. We gained nearly 1,500 councillors and we took control of 17 new councils. Something the establishment said was impossible. And I want to be really clear. None of this would have been possible without you, the members and supporters. Your commitment, dedication and passion shines through whenever I meet you. As I travelled across the country on my Chairman’s Tour and met thousands of you, I was genuinely overwhelmed by the warmth and support I received at every event. Please know that feeling is entirely mutual. I know Lee Anderson will continue the fight brilliantly, and as someone who has been in Reform for a long time, he knows exactly what it means to be a Reformer. I now turn my attention to my home county of Suffolk as I look to return to elected politics. I remain fully convinced that @reformparty_uk is Britain’s last chance. 🇬🇧
