Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe today revealed he has instructed lawyers to begin defamation claims against Nigel Farage and other party bosses.
The Great Yarmouth MP demanded that Mr Farage, Reform chairman Zia Yusuf and Lee Anderson, the party's chief whip, retract 'false allegations' against him.
Mr Lowe was one of five Reform MPs elected at last July's general election. But he had the party whip stripped from him last month amid 'bullying' claims.
In an explosive statement issued on March 7, Mr Yusuf and Mr Anderson said Mr Lowe was being investigated over complaints by two female employees.
They also said Mr Lowe - who now sits in the House of Commons as an independent MP - had been reported to police over allegations he physically threatened Mr Yusuf.
But Mr Lowe immediately hit back at the party's 'untrue and false' claims and said he had been 'knifed' for publicly questioning Nigel Farage's leadership of Reform.
The bitter row between the businessman, a former chairman of Southampton Football Club, and Reform bosses has continued to rumble on for weeks.
In a statement released this afternoon, Mr Lowe revealed he has now instructed solicitors over 'serious harm to my reputation' from the allegations against him.
