Rupert Lowe was hosting a glitzy dinner for potential Reform donors just hours before the Great Yarmouth MP was reported to police, it has emerged.
Lowe, who was suspended by the populist party amid allegations of serious bullying and threats of violence on Friday, was at the fundraising event alongside Reform treasurer Nick Candy.
The pair were schmoozing with prospective backers at the exclusive private dining club Oswald’s in Mayfair on March 6.
Just hours later, the Metropolitan Police received a report against a 67-year-old man for allegedly making threats towards Reform chairman Zia Yusuf in an incident which took place in December.
The report was lodged a few days after Lowe sat down for an interview with The Daily Mail.
During the interview, the outspoken former Southampton FC chairman labelled Reform a “protest party” and swiped at Nigel Farage by saying it is “too early” to know if the Clacton MP will make a “good Prime Minister”.
Following revelations about the donor dinner, a friend of Lowe told The Daily Mail: “The party’s story is unravelling.
“If, as Richard Tice says, they could no longer work with Rupert why was he with the treasurer at Oswald’s?
“He was with one of the most senior figures in Reform the night before they threw him under a bus.
“The complaint to the police was because Rupert compared Nigel Farage to a Messiah. We all know what happened to the last Messiah.”
Reform UK hosted another fundraising event at Oswald's in January, with potential donors paying between £10,000 and £25,000 to attend.
