This Thursday, voters nationwide will head to the polls for crucial local elections. Many are looking for an alternative to the tired old establishment parties. But before you cast your ballot in anger or protest, you deserve to know the truth about Reform UK — from someone who has seen it from the inside.

Former Reform MP Rupert Lowe has broken his silence. In a devastating statement, Lowe has laid bare the reality of a party that promises much but delivers nothing. His words are a warning to all of us.

No Serious Policies. No Plan. Just Glossy Self-Promotion.

For months, Lowe pushed Reform’s leadership to produce real, credible policies—properly costed, written down, and ready to deliver change. He was ignored and mocked.

“All we get, day after day, is glossy pictures of Nigel Farage. No manifesto. No plan. Nothing.” — Rupert Lowe, former Reform MP

Lowe’s frustration will ring true for anyone who has watched Reform’s campaign videos: flashy and dramatic but empty of substance. While your council faces real problems—crumbling roads, stretched social care, struggling high streets—Reform offers no serious policies to fix them.

Betrayal of Principles

When serious initiatives were proposed, like launching a Parliamentary inquiry into grooming gangs, Reform’s leadership cynically used the publicity — then abandoned the victims.

Lowe described his shame at being part of a “vile circus act.” Reform’s leadership, he says, “treated its membership like dirt,” abandoning both supporters and principles in pursuit of personal attention.

Weakness on Immigration

While many Reform supporters demand strict action on illegal immigration, Lowe reveals that Nigel Farage himself “personally instructed” him to soften speeches and avoid strong language about mass deportations. Lowe says Farage is too afraid of media backlash to make the tough calls needed to defend Britain’s borders.

“Farage alarmingly states if we ‘politically alienate’ the whole of Islam, we ‘will lose’. Think carefully about what he is saying here.” — Rupert Lowe.

An Arrogant, Centralised Machine

Reform claims to stand for free speech and democracy. But Lowe describes a party ruled by central diktat, where members are “cast aside,” “vetted” out for no good reason, and local branches are ignored.

Real political movements empower ordinary people. Reform UK trusts no one but its inner circle in London.

The Verdict: A Protest Without a Plan

Lowe said voting for Reform on Thursday would only endorse “arrogance, rage, and ego — not a genuine passion for radical change.”

Local councils matter. They run your services, fix your roads, and support your vulnerable neighbours. Reform has no serious proposals for any of it.

The Choice on Thursday

This is not a General Election. It’s about your local community. Rupert Lowe urges you to vote for a candidate who cares and has considered detailed plans to improve your area.

“Britain doesn’t need a protest. It needs a plan.” — Rupert Lowe

Listen to someone who’s seen behind the curtain.

This Thursday, choose real solutions — not empty promises.
