Will, you are perfectly right. Ben Habib and Rupert Lowe are a massive loss to Reform. Nigel seems to be losing the plot.

Nigel is the plot! He's been given the job to rebrand the uni-party and keep everything the insidious same.

Just watching your video - I think that Willy is wrong re Nigel. I always loved watching Rupert but …….”The Labour minister that Rupert Lowe reportedly pushed in Parliament was Mike Kane, the Transport Minister. This incident occurred in December 2024 in the House of Commons following a debate about a damaged ship containing toxic cargo docked in Lowe’s Great Yarmouth constituency. According to reports, Lowe was unhappy with Kane’s response during the debate, crossed the floor to confront him, and a heated exchange ensued, during which Lowe allegedly pushed Kane’s shoulder. The confrontation required intervention by the Serjeant at Arms to de-escalate the situation. Kane later commented that Lowe’s anger “showed a man not in charge of his own faculties.” Lowe has denied the allegations of “manhandling,” stating that the matter was resolved at the time in line with parliamentary procedure.” I wouldn’t have believed this before last week!

Have you heard what the problem was with the ship? I am not at all surprised that Rupert Lowe was cross - the cargo of this ship could have been unloaded and used safely and instead it was dumped in the sea leaving double skinned plastic bags and their contents to cause harm. It also nearly lead to people being evacuated from the area. Rupert Lowe has taken to heart his responsibility as the MP for Great Yarmouth. By now in the UK, I'm sure everyone knows how infuriating things are becoming when straight answers aren't forthcoming. And people are so weak nowadays "pushed Kane's shoulder"??????

Some 300plus tonnes of fertiliser has been dumped 12 miles off the coast of GY - and Rupert Lowe was blocked in all the meetings that DforT and Peel ports and MCA and HSE had regards the cargo - the ship was denied entry to many ports before GY accepting it. That’s when the DofT got involved and blocked RL being present - why !!! Oh because you as Labour that care so much about net zero and the environment dumped it out at sea that could cause propeller damage to ships if the ‘dumped bags’ were to be disturbed with possible storms and wild water - who would think that could happen in the North Sea - the whole thing was covered up and Rupert would not stay silent on it and good on him. Then he helped Tousi TV with a documentary called the Rape of Stoke and that I’m afraid was many of the final brave acts Rupert was allowed to do before being silenced and in such a disgusting manner !

I agree with you, he was showing concern at the apparent disdain being shown over a major toxic pollution scandal. Kane would be the first to complain if one of his children went swimming off Great Yarmouth and ingested toxic chemicals !

Alan we can all get passionate however a Robust conversation from one MP to another that results in one MP getting reported to the parliamentary committee is not a slap on the wrist . Don't get me wrong. I like Rupert Lowe but you have to control your passion within Parliament.

Well said Darren, talking sense. I still support Nigel and Reform, I did really like Rupert but my opinion has changed. He should of kept this in house but he went to the papers.

He then did a ridiculous amount of negative posts, that was not putting Reform and Country first. Why not wait for the investigation to finish and if he's innocent I'm sure it would come out and this mess could have been resolved. However Rupert has now made it impossible. I am now finding Ruperts post concerning.

Diane, Rupert Lowe is your well educated public school boy who would have no doubt been taught at his private school how to behave like a gentleman . I agree 100% If he did not agree with the parties policies then he should simply resigned and not aired his dirty washing in public . He did not act as a gentleman at all .

Sorry I missed this (had important call to make). Re what Willy said, I've just seen what has put the lid on for me re Rupert Lowe. He has now posted on X a video of Lee Anderson speaking to pain in the arse Brexit man who has been the bane of Leaver's lives for a whole 9 years. Mr. Brexit Man has been nothing but rude to anyone who supported Brexit. I'm sorry for the whole issue but Rupert Lowe is bringing himself down by stooping so low with this crap. Nigel Farage saw UKIP folding with in-fighting and I can't blame him at all for not wanting that in Reform UK. AND whilst Rupert Lowe has spoken out very very well about the illegals and what he'd do, even HE couldn't do it without leaving the ECHR - he never mentions that! Nigel Farage is the master of timing - I've followed him since the referendum was called. NOR has Rupert Lowe mentioned about the fracas he caused in Westminster in December - that was truly bringing the party and its members down in full view of the opposition lot. Nigel is the man Willy, not sure how long you've followed him, you're entitled to your opinion of course, but you are way off with some of your thoughts.

Trav I have watched MEMs doing the rounds and unfortunately with the help of AI so much can be manipulated that people can be drawn in . There is a lot more to this than meets the eye . Rupert Lowe would not answer Dan Wooten when he asked what was said in these ROBUST conversations ? Dan asked him a couple of times why not if you have nothing to hide .

It worries me the way people , including Will , are taking everything Lowe says at face value . He has not been acting like a man seeking reconciliation , he has made a massive amount of social media output that makes him sound like he is out to destroy Reform .

Words, interpretation of, can be discussed, argued and remove any genuine meaning. Overthinking a situation can damage what in essence is a bigger goal! Reform is the future, we need that future. Farage is Reform!

Elle Nigel is the most recognised face in politics .On social media he is the number one politician .Outside of social media who knows who Rupert Lowe is ? ask in your high street ? no one will know Rupert Lowe or Ben Habib but they will know Nigel Farage because he has been the business of politics for nearly 30 years .

Love the debate. Like you and will very much. For me, There is too much going on with reform. This needs to stop right now. We need to get back to fighting for our country. Forgot this spat, stop beaten chests , it’s disappointing to supporters. We don’t want it. Someone sensible stand up, bring everyone back together and make plans for the future in a common sense way. Willy I lived in Tasmania and Brisbane for a while, loved it.fantastic people and lifestyle.

I’ve given up on GB News. This was a treat. On Farage though…Those who are considering voting Reform (as I did recently) need to consider whether what the UK needs now is a PM who literally cannot bear to speak to a colleague who asks him difficult questions. That is no leader. He has gone full out to destroy Lowe, a Man on his own side. He did the same to Ben and others. We have 4 years to find someone with integrity, transparency and a real desire to serve the people. We do not need a minor wing of the Uniparty. Darren…get out while you can.

Actually Ann Cryer labour MP Keighley raised the horrific matter of R Gangs way back in late 1990s and was still pursuing the matter in 2017 and her successor Robbie Moore (con) continues the fight with the support of Ann. So Nigel was not the only politician speaking up, there was an actual MP doing the job too.

Just finished watching it Darren, good catch getting Will on .

Hope I don’t upset you on this one but I agreed with every thing Will said on the Nigel Farage/Rupert Lowe assessment. To add I’ve always been a Nigel Farage Supporter but

- he doesn’t seem to be able to manage teams

- there’s only 5 of them it worries me that they don’t seem to meet up that often and Talk policy, chew over the fat etc can’t they manage a pre meet or beer after parliament session?

- a good leader would have dealt with this behind closed doors (reminded me of Trump/Zalenskey fiasco

- why has he allowed the party to come into disrepute, we’re all watching and cringing over how this has played out, airing dirty linen in public. I feel he has let his supporters down

- I don’t think you two mentioned on this session but Nigel must have been fuming over Elon Musk saying Lowe would be a better leader
