The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards has initiated an investigation into ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe concerning his failure to register substantial donations for his independent Rape Gang Inquiry. Over £600,000 was raised via his Crowdfunder, predominantly from small donations, although numerous exceeded £1,500 and were not declared in his financial register. Parliamentary rules require MPs to declare significant donations within 28 days. Despite the government launching an official inquiry, Lowe intends to continue his investigation, asserting that politicians have failed to adequately address the issue of sexual exploitation.
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is investigating ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe for allegedly failing to declare over £600,000 raised through a Crowdfunder for his Rape Gang Inquiry.
Lowe’s Crowdfunder has attracted more than £600,000 since March, with a substantial portion made up of donations exceeding £1,500, none of which were reported by Lowe.
Lowe stated that his independent inquiry would persist despite the government's announcement of a national inquiry into grooming gangs, reflecting his commitment to the cause.
Lowe faced suspension from Reform UK in March due to allegations of threats towards the party chairman, further complicated by his claims of a political ‘assassination attempt’.
