I worked closely with Rupert Lowe. This is why Nigel Farage and Reform couldn't work with him
Rupert's no team player. Never has been. He kicked off with the Referendum Party, all about giving the people a say on the EU. Then, in 2019, he became an MEP for the Brexit Party, Brexit being the hill he'd die on. Then managed to get himself the party's No 2 target seat, Dudley, in the General election, only to yank his candidacy from the general election on the last day of nominations. That's Rupert in a nutshell: all in, then out, on his terms. He's forthright, sure, call it a talent if you like, but it's a polite way of saying he doesn't care for consensus. He's built a vociferous online support base, and they lap up his every word, but it's a solo act, not a party anthem.
