Following open criticism, Farage said that Lowe was “completely wrong” and that the United Kingdom’s reform was “absolutely not a protest.”
Writing on Sunday in the telegraph, Farage recognized that the row had “bombed” the “sense of unity” within the party, but said that it would have been “inconceivable” not to act.
“If the latest general elections have taught us something, it is that the public does not like political parties that engage in constant intestine struggles,” wrote Farage, adding that even if the reform had built a united party, “thanks to one of our deputies, Rupert Lowe, unloading a barrier of criticism against our operations and its main actors, that the feeling of unity was launched.”
The reform, which now intervenes before the Labor Party and the Conservatives according to the aggregate survey of Politico, denied the announcement of the survey linked to the public dungeon between Lowe and Farage.
On Sunday, the deputy leader of the party, Richard Tice, also told the BBC that there was “absolutely no truth” to affirm a link between the comments of Lowe on Thursday and the allegations against him who emerged a day later.
Farage also addressed the current investigation, saying that Lowe had fallen with her parliamentary colleagues “in one way or another” since her election eight months ago. “We did our best to keep a cover on things, but ultimately, containment strategies invariably fail,” added Farage.
Lowe described the “witch hunt” investigation, in a separate room of the telegraph.
