We needed a new leader at that time.”But there’s a time and place for it, you know, and I think what it is with Reform is that the media want to jump on them anyway. Give us a party that doesn’t have spats.LATEST DEVELOPMENTS “Every party has spats, but because there are only five MPs, there are political egos in every party. People rub each other up the wrong way. That’s politics.”She added: “Labour’s making a heck of a mess of the country, and we’ve got to actually pull together for our country.”That’s what we’re doing. I mean, all this talk of no democracy look, we’ve been selecting local candidates here in Lincolnshire, and there’s a proper process, a proper interview process. “I went through a process. So when you see from the inside, it is being professionalised. You even have press officers for candidates now, for the council candidates. “There’s a proper process. So I just think this is a load of rubbish now.”People still love Nigel, and they still love Reform. Because do you know who else have we got?”Who else have we got to save Britain? In my opinion, it’s Reform. And we’re four years away. “Look, every political party has spats. Let’s move on and do what’s right for Britain. That’s how I see it.””Reform UK leader Nigel FaragePAReform UK announced yesterday it had reported MP Rupert Lowe to police over alleged “threats of physical violence” against party chairman Zia Yusuf.In a joint statement with chief whip Lee Anderson, Yusuf claimed Lowe had made violent threats on “at least two occasions”.The statement also revealed the party had received complaints about “serious bullying” in Lowe’s offices.Lowe has strongly denied the allegations against him, describing them as “untrue and false” in a social media post.
