Episode description

Despite their meteoric rise, all is not well inside Reform UK. 


Nigel Farage’s party has been engulfed in civil war over a string of bullying allegations against Rupert Lowe.


The Great Yarmouth MP vigorously denies all the accusations - including that he threatened physical violence against party chairman Zia Yusuf - and claims he is the victim of a witch hunt over his criticisms of Farage’s leadership.


Kamal and Camilla ask what airing the party’s dirty laundry in public will do for its hopes of forming the next Government - and whether Lowe’s ousting was motivated by personal grudges.


Plus, after the Government rules out holding a public inquiry into the 2021 murder of MP David Ames, his daughter Katie tells The Daily T: “ they want me to go away, but I'm not going to”.
