Rupert Lowe MP has posted the following statement to X following Zia Yusuf's resignation from Reform UK.
Zia Yusuf gone. The question is - how did a man with no political experience be given such vast power within Reform? A deeply unpleasant individual who at every stage was protected and promoted by Farage.
Why? When he made false allegations about me, why was he supported? Why did the leadership rally around him, despite them all knowing it was entirely malicious? Why did they allow him to weaponise the criminal justice system against me?
Yusuf, supported by Farage and others, tried to put me in prison on false allegations. They deployed woke lawfare to silence a party colleague - followed by a collective decision to back the man who made the false police complaint.
I stood up to them, and thankfully I am a free man.
My legal action continues against Reform, Yusuf and Anderson.
Yusuf was the driver, but he was given the keys by Farage.
I again call on the party, and specifically Farage, to do the right thing and apologise for their malicious witch hunt.
