Prove It

No party card. No donations. No agenda. Just one question for every politician, every promise, every policy. Prove it.

Rupert Lowe's legal case against the ICGS raises a genuinely important constitutional question. Can an independent body claim Parlimentary Privilege? It's a fair point. Legally coherent. Worth debating. But let's be honest about the full picture. Lowe is the subject of an active ICGS investigation. The nature of that investigation is not public. A man using a legitimate constitutional argument to block scrutiny of himself. The principle might be right. The timing tells a different story. Prove it's about Parliament. Not about Rupert Lowe.

@RupertLowe10 The constitutional argument is legitimate. The timing is the question.

I am pleased to have Jacob Rees-Mogg’s support for my legal action against an administrative body related to Parliament - my argument is aimed at empowering elected MPs over unelected officials. On Tuesday 17 March my Barrister, Christopher Newman, and I were in the Administrative Court in London at a hearing in front of High Court Judge Martin Chamberlain. It is a significant case for the power of parliament, and therefore the power of the voters. As the MP for Great Yarmouth, I am seeking to challenge the legality of the processes of the ‘Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme’, also known as the ICGS - importantly, it is entirely legally separate from Parliament. The scheme’s genesis is driven by the ‘Me Too’ movement in 2018. The ICGS are seeking to use the doctrine of ‘Parliamentary Privilege’ to assert that they are, in effect, beyond the scrutiny of the law. Parliamentary privilege exists to allow MPs to do our job away from legal threats, it does not exist to protect bureaucratic bodies. As Jacob Rees-Mogg, former Leader of the House of Commons, points out in his analysis: “As the ICGS is independent, it cannot in its workings be a Commons body, as it would then not be independent. It is really very straightforward and Rupert Lowe seems to be right." This is arguably the most significant constitutional case in years with the ICGS now arguing the polar opposite of the position the state took in the case of R v Chaytor where MPs unsuccessfully tried to use Parliamentary Privilege to avoid prosecution for abuse of expense claims. ICGS staff are not legally qualified, and this administrative body is outside the orbit of the Chamber and has no link to MPs. It has not reported to a Parliamentary Committee of MPs since 2020 when all links were severed and a panel was inserted. It is our argument that this body cannot claim to be above the law - it is not right that a bureaucratic body separate from Parliament is attempting to use parliamentary privilege, designed for elected politicians, to avoid reasonable scrutiny. Rees-Mogg ends his article: “Thus if Lowe wins, he will not have harmed Parliament, but defended it. For through cowardice we – and I was an MP at the time – abdicated our privileged responsibility and gave it to unelected boffins, who are not so much better than elected politicians after all, but much harder to eject.” We expect a Judgment after Easter, around 14 April 2026.

@SuellaBraverman Let's call this what it is: You were part of the spineless Tories less than two months ago.

Let’s call this what it is: terrorism. Two tier policing, failure to ban the hate marches and a tolerance of antisemitism have led us to this. Spineless governments -Tory and Labour - have utterly failed to stop the poison of extremism from spreading on our streets. Sick of it.

@Restore4London @Shieldcpuk Signed - great idea.

🚨🚨 If you care about our veterans, please read this and don’t scroll past!🚨🚨 Our network is working directly with a veteran-led organisation, @Shieldcpuk, with the aim of taking veterans off the streets and off welfare by providing security training and full-time employment. Shield will ultimately provide security for patriots up and down the country. So far, 2,000 veterans are on board. Shield is NOT FOR PROFIT. They're doing this purely because they care, all the money they make goes straight back into operations. This is a fantastic initiative. The founders have started a petition to increase funding for veteran-led initiatives, as they currently receive almost no support from the government. It takes 30 seconds of your time to show your support for our lads who not only put their bodies on the line for our country, but who are now going to help defend our communities and political organisations on the streets. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7605…

A primary school in Wigan had to close because a toxic waste dump next to it caught fire. The Environment Agency didn't act. A similar dump in Oxfordshire? Cleared immediately. Today the government announced Wigan will finally be cleaned up. It only took burning children's school to make it happen. Class. In. Britain.

The Tories just launched their local election campaign. With a broken video. That wouldn't play. There are the same people who had 14 years to fix: The NHS The cost of living Crumbling infrastructure Mass Immigration The video not working was the most on-brand thing they've ever done.

@RupertLowe10 You're not wrong. But the culture won't change until there are real consequences for the people inside it. Not reshuffles. Not inquiries. Not strongly worded letters. Actual accountability. That's what's been missing for decades!

The entire culture of the rotten civil service needs to change - I just delivered that message straight to the top.

Wales just passed a law making it illegal for politicians to lie during elections. In 2026. It took until 2026. Let that sink in. Only one politician voted against it. Reform. The other 49 voted for it. And it still won't apply until 2030. British politics in a nutshell.

@BBCPolitics Does anyone actually know what the "plan" is?

Conservatives are "the only party with a plan", Kemi Badenoch says as she launches Tory local election campaign bbc.in/3Ng2ADT

Green Party proposals this month: ✅ Cut terror suspect detention from 14 days to 4 ✅ Legalise heroin ✅ Open borders ✅ Free housing for illegal migrants Meanwhile actual working people can't afford their energy bills. But sure. 4 days to detain a terror suspect should do it.

@trussliz You obviously had nothing to do with that Liz.

Is the country headed for total collapse?

@Conservatives The audacity is genuinely breathtaking. The conservatives want to get Britain Working Again.. They had 14 years. 14.

We are the party of hard work and aspiration. On 7th May, Vote Conservative to Get Britain Working Again 🚀

@reformparty_uk As in, all the Tories who have joined Reform?

Labour and the Tories have made energy bills too expensive. There is still time to enter our draw for the chance to have yours paid for a whole year. 👉 NigelCutMyBills.com

@Nigel_Farage Great news, everyone. Nigel Farage is going to save you £200 a year on your energy bills. That's 54p a day. All you have to do is hand over your personal data before May's local elections. Don't spend it all at once!

A Reform UK government will save you £200 a year on your energy bills. If you enter our draw, you could even have yours paid for a whole year. 👉 NigelCutMyBills.com

@Ed_Miliband Energy bills are still 60% higher than 2021. A seasonal price cap drop isn't a policy. It's a press release.

5 things we’re doing to help tackle the cost of living 👇

You don't have to agree with everything @RupertLowe10 says. But he's asking questions no other politician will. About working people. About what's actually broken. That used to be Labour's job. What happened?

The left thinks anyone questioning immigration is racist. The right thinks anyone defending the NHS is a communist. Most people are neither. Most people just want someone to be honest with them.

@elonmusk This is what the algorithm shows me every day

Algorithm is better today than 3 months ago?

Labour won the biggest mandate in a generation. 18 months later. Working people are poorer. Public services are worse. And we're told to be patient. Prove it was worth it. Because so far? Nothing.
