Rupert Lowe vows to 'expose the truth' on Labour as ONS releases latest migration data: 'I'm drilling down!'

Speaking to GB News, Lowe expressed his determination to get to the bottom of both migration issues and Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) spending practices.

"I'm drilling down, I'm asking questions, I'm not getting answers to everything, but, we're beginning to expose the truth," the Reform UK MP said.

He highlighted particular concerns about what he described as the DWP "throwing taxpayers money around like confetti."

The Reform UK MP emphasised the need for a balanced approach between collecting necessary taxes and responsible Government spending.

"What we need is obviously taxes collected to fund essential services, but we've also got to have a state that respects the taxpayer," Lowe stated.

Lowe expressed particular concern about the relationship between taxpayers and state spending amid the migration discussions.

"If people are being taxed into oblivion, which has happened in this recent budget, there's also got to be some form of respect," he told GB News.

The Reform UK MP emphasised that business owners generating wealth deserve consideration in how their tax contributions are utilised.

"Surely they must be respected and their money must be well spent," he stated.

Lowe pointed to what he sees as a fundamental breakdown in the relationship between Government and taxpayers.

"There is no respect from the state for the taxpayer," he said.

Asked by host Ben Leo about his pitched scheme to the Home Office, asking MPs to house "irregular migrants" in their own homes, Lowe affirmed that the challenge should be "thrown down" for Parliamentarians to "practice what they preach".

Lowe explained: "I thought it would be a challenge that should be thrown down to the 'do as I say, not as I do' merchants in Parliament, who always seem very keen to welcome all of these illegal migrants and plant them in various constituencies around the country.

"But I actually think it's easier to do that when it's not affecting you, and I think good leadership is people who lead by example rather than by what they say. So we'll see."

As Ben argued that Labour would claim it is "doing good work" in tackling the migration crisis, Lowe responded: "I can't take them that seriously. I had a meeting with one of the ministers the other day, and he told me he thought that the public sector was very often more efficient than the private sector, at which point I terminated the meeting.

"I can't take people seriously who think that's the case. So I don't believe that they will be delivering what they're saying - their mouths say an awful lot, but their hands deliver very little."
