Former Reform MP Rupert Lowe could move over to the Tories (Image: Getty)
Former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has said he could join the Conservative Party after falling out with Nigel Farage. And he revealed he’d held talks with Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick, who once stood for the Tory leadership. Mr Lowe told GB News: “I had lunch with Robert Jenrick probably three months ago at my club, and I simply had lunch with him at his club.
“I’ve always said, since my political assassination, which was very clumsy and arguably somewhat un-Christian, I have all options open. “And I have to confess, I was not expecting to be politically taken out like a sort of wing forward takes out the scrum half if you will, but I’m now free.”

The Great Yarmouth MP told GB News: “I talk to all the Tories a lot. They knew that the attempt to politically assassinate me was a farce. I’ve been talking to them and here’s some great young Tories. I think there are some very able Tories.”
Referring to two Conservative MPs, he added: “A lot of them are young, and I’ve got huge amounts of admiration for Jack Rankin and for Katie Lam. But I think we’ve got to find somehow a collective solution, and what that means, and what I’ve been trying to do is effectively unite right wing thought through policy, and that was my issue.
“We need policy, we have to have a plan. We have to have a detailed roadmap to changing the way we’re governed, and that’s not going to happen by just what I call shallow rhetoric. That’s got to happen by plan, so I’m now calling all options, all options are open, that’s the message.”

However allowing Mr Lowe to join the Conservatives would be potentially difficult for Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, even if she was minded to admit him, after he praised English Defence League co-founder Tommy Robinson for “exposing” child rape gangs.
Earlier this month the Crown Prosecution Service dismissed announced no criminal charges will be brought against Mr Lowe over claims that he made verbal threats against Reform party chairman Zia Yusuf, saying there as not enough evidence.
Making his feelings known at the time, Mr Lowe said he was the victim of a “sinister attempt to weaponise the criminal justice system against me” because he had criticised Mr Farage and “pushed for Reform to be run democratically – not as a vehicle to stroke one man’s ego”.
