The People's Front of Reform is up against the Reform People's Front. Splitters!

It's been a party at war with itself, with Farage and Lowe trading insults via the media and X. It has been a joy to witness

These past few weeks have been grim. The world hasn't felt less safe in decades. European leaders desperately scrabbling to secure a peace in Ukraine that isn't a capitulation to Russia. A US man-child president who is giving a convincing impression of a Russian asset. Vladimir Putin struggling to believe his good fortune.

So a big thank you to Reform for providing comic relief. Never has the UK needed a good laugh more than now. To recap. Last Thursday, Rupert Lowe - who has endorsed Tommy Robinson and who has apparently won the admiration of Elon Musk and Reform voters who worry the party has gone soft on foreigners - gave an interview to the Daily Mail in which he accused Nigel Farage of acting like a second-rate messiah and having no real interest in policy.
