The MP was stripped of the whip on Friday amid allegations he made “verbal threats” against Zia Yousaf, the party’s chair – allegations Mr Lowe denies.

At the time, Mr Lowe dismissed the claims as “vexatious” and suggested he had been stitched up by the party leadership, including Nigel Farage. Speaking to right-wing commentator Dan Wootton’s YouTube channel, Mr Lowe suggested he was suspended by Reform UK for being a “tall poppy” who threatened to overshadow Mr Farage.
