Watch as Patrick Christys asks the GB News live studio audience about which side they are on in the Reform UK civil war.

Rupert Lowe MP has come out swinging after having the whip removed following allegations of threatening party chairman Zia Yusuf and bullying.

The Great Yarmouth MP faces serious accusations from the party's leadership.

In a joint statement, Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf and chief whip Lee Anderson said they felt "obligated to disclose" the situation.

The statement revealed that complaints had also been made about "serious bullying" in Lowe's parliamentary and constituency offices.

The party said it had received complaints from two female employees, one from Lowe's Parliamentary office and another from his Constituency office.

"Evidence was provided to us of workplace bullying, the targeting of female staff who raised concerns, and evidence of derogatory and discriminatory remarks made about women, including reference to a perceived disability," the statement said.

The party leaders added they understood complaints had also been made to Parliamentary authorities.

Reform UK said it had appointed an independent King's Counsel to investigate the complaints.

"We feel we have a duty of care to all our staff, whether employed directly or indirectly," the statement from Yusuf and Anderson explained.

The party leaders claimed that Lowe has not cooperated with the investigation.

"To date, Mr Lowe has yet to cooperate with this investigation," they said.

The party leaders made a more serious allegation regarding Lowe's conduct towards the chairman.
