bet365pg Infighting in U.K.’s Anti-Immigration Party Now Involves the Police

　　

The anti-immigration party led by Nigel Farage said on Friday it had referred one of its lawmakers to the police for allegedly threatening a senior colleague, in the biggest crisis to hit Britain’s insurgent right-wing party since its success in last year’s general election.

In a statement, the party, Reform U.K., said the lawmaker, Rupert Lowe, had been accused of making “threats of physical violence” against Reform’s chairman, Zia Yusuf. The party also said that it was investigating complaints that Mr. Lowe had bullied female staff members, and that it had suspended him.

In a statement posted on social media on Friday, Mr. Lowe, 67, denied the allegations, adding that it was “no surprise” that “vexatious” claims had been lodged after he recently made critical comments about Mr. Farage and the party’s structures.

In recent months, Reform U.K. has surged in opinion polls,betef cassino overtaking the main opposition Conservative Party and closing in on the governing Labour Party, which is led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

But in the past, parties led by Mr. Farage have proved prone to internal divisions, and the drama on Friday suggested that Reform U.K. could be following the same pattern.

Hours after addressing the United Nations General Assembly, Mr. Biden appeared at the Bloomberg event and took what amounted to a victory lap. He boasted that the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which is plowing more than $370 billion in tax rebates and subsidies into wind and solar energy, batteries and electric vehicles, was the largest climate investment “in the history of the world.”

From the moment Eric Adams took office on New Year’s Eve 2021, he promised to be a mayor such as New Yorkers had never seen.

The new, explosive developments appeared to turn on the growing tension between Mr. Lowe, a businessman and the former chairman of Southampton F.C. soccer club, and Mr. Farage, Reform U.K.’s charismatic but divisive leader.
