Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has said there is “zero credible evidence” of bullying allegations made against him by the party.

In a statement on Friday, the party said it had received evidence of “derogatory and discriminating remarks made about women” by Mr Lowe, who was elected to his Great Yarmouth seat last year.

He was also accused of having “on at least two occasions made threats of physical violence” to Reform chairman Zia Yousuf, who said the matter was now “with the police”.

Mr Lowe has described the statement as “vexatious”, and said it was “no surprise” that it had come a day after he criticised Reform leader Nigel Farage.
