Can Farage make Reform election winner as infighting continues?

Nigel Farage has rejected criticism that he’s behaving like the Messiah after days of infighting at the top of Reform UK.

Last week Rupert Lowe – one of its five MPs – launched an extraordinary broadside against his leader.

He was then suspended from the party and referred to the police over allegations of bullying and making threats of violence against the party chairman. Mr Lowe denies all that, saying he’s the victim of a “political assassination”.

So how does all this affect attempts by Mr Farage to professionalise his party?
