Deep dives
Confusion in Reform Politics
The political landscape in the UK is experiencing turmoil as figures like Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe create chaos within Reform UK. Lowe's recent accusations of bullying led to his suspension, further complicating an already tense situation within the party.
