A senior lawyer who was appointed by Reform UK to independently investigate allegations against MP Rupert Lowe and his team has denied she told the MP she was “shocked” about the process.
The Great Yarmouth MP was suspended by Reform and referred to the police over accusations he made threats of violence against the party’s chairman. The Metropolitan Police has confirmed they are assessing an allegation of “verbal threats”.
There have also been allegations of bullying in Lowe’s offices, which are being investigated by the lawyer hired by the party.
Lowe strongly denies all the claims, saying “there is no credible evidence against me”, and says he is the victim of “a political assassination because I dared to question Nigel Farage”.

On Sunday, the lawyer, a KC who has not been named by the party but whose credentials have been verified by the BBC, said: “I have seen a number of statements made by Mr Lowe MP which are attributed to me and which describe my reactions to the process conducted by the party into the allegations made against both Mr Lowe MP and his constituency manager.
