Reform UK has accused Rupert Lowe, one of its MP s, of threatening Mr Yusuf, and has reported him to the police, who say they are investigating. The party has also appointed a senior lawyer to look into claims of bullying in his office. Reform UK has also suspended Mr Lowe, reducing its parliamentary strength to just four.

Nigel Farage could face a challenge to Reform UK after an ex-deputy leader hinted he could launch a new party with Rupert Lowe. Ben Habib ran for Reform in Wellingborough and Rushden at the General Election and was co-deputy leader before he was replaced by Richard Tice.
