Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe ‘unlawfully harassed’ two women and failed to tackle ‘toxic’ office culture, inquiry finds
Report finds ex-Reform MP harassed two women
- An independent investigation has found credible evidence that former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe and his team unlawfully harassed two women.
- The investigation, launched by Reform UK, stemmed from complaints by two women working in Mr Lowe's office alleging bullying by him and male staff members.
- The report highlighted a "toxic" atmosphere in Mr Lowe's offices and criticised his failure to address the concerns of his staff.
- Mr Lowe, who lost the Reform whip earlier in March, denies the allegations, claiming they are an attempt to smear his reputation.
- The investigation concluded that the complaints amounted to credible evidence of harassment and that disciplinary actions taken against the women seemed flimsy and retaliatory.
