Rupert Lowe, who represents the town in Westminster, had the Reform whip suspended on Friday and will now sit as an independent while an inquiry is carried out.

This followed the MP being reported to the police after claims of threatening violence against the party chairman.

Reform also said it had received evidence of “serious bullying” and “derogatory” remarks made about women in the MP’s offices, with two separate employees said to have made allegations.

Mr Lowe has strongly denied the claims.
