Mr Lowe has repeatedly denied the allegations against him and suggested that he was ousted because he threatened to overshadow Mr Farage.

He had questioned the Clacton MP’s leadership of the insurgent party in an outspoken interview a day earlier.

Reform said on Tuesday that an independent KC had found “credible evidence of unlawful harassment of two women” by Mr Lowe and “male members of his team”.

The Great Yarmouth MP claimed that claimed Reform was “shamefully attacking my innocent staff to smear my name”.

He added: “This is not right. It’s unprecedented in modern British politics.”

It comes as Reform is holding a massive rally in Birmingham tomorrow night ahead of the local elections.
