Farage's leadership crucial for Reform UK's future

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, expelled MP Rupert Lowe after Lowe publicly criticized him, calling Farage a "Messiah" leading a "protest party." Lowe claims he was silenced over key issues and faced damaging allegations from party allies. The feud highlights a divide within Reform UK, with Lowe advocating for more radical policies on illegal immigration. Despite the conflict, polls show Farage remains the party's most recognized figure, with many party members viewing him as essential to its identity. Farage's leadership is seen as crucial for the party's future, especially as it aims to position itself as a viable alternative to Labour and the Conservatives. The ongoing internal strife raises questions about the party's direction and unity.
