Powell had zero scruples and no consideration of women, anyone or anything else when she thought there was a political advantage to be had in arranging the interview.
End of.
I saw something on Sunday. A glimmer of hope. Can Harry find a new role as the people’s prince?

‘Conservative MPs believed I would do a good job on the Public Accounts Committee. I accepted the opportunity to scrutinise government spending and fight for British taxpayers.’
Do you think people are fools?
No they really did not think you would do a better job than any of their own MPs and if for a nano second they did, well that says a great deal about the paucity of talent amongst Tory MPs and that act alone would inform everyone why they should never vote Tory again.
They gave you the place as part of a deal for you to blunt Reforms vote in order to keep the Conservative party on life support.
You may have negotiated a peerage for yourself as part of the deal in the same way you reportedly requested one from Dougie Smith in 2019 when you stood down on the morning the G election was called.
Only, Dougie Smith forgot to tell you, he couldn’t deliver.
Maybe you asked for the committee place as a consolation prize ?
It actually speaks to a level of delusion that you think people would believe what you’ve written here. 🤣😂
It is also blindingly obvious that you’ve been told to stop praising Kemi and the Conservatives and to make it less obvious there’s a pact in the week the penny has dropped with the wider public and it’s started to get messsy.
We see right through you Rupert, hopefully so will the electorate.
Vote Restore get Labour, keep the Conservatives afloat and in opposition. That’s how it works…
Vote @reformparty_uk for real change.
I want to address an allegation directly, because Reform politicians seem determined to spread the idea that I am somehow working in coordination with the Conservative Party and Kemi Badenoch.
Yes, I was a member of the Conservative Party. In 1993. My children have since been born and grown up. It was more than thirty years ago. Literally, a lifetime ago. Many of the Reform leadership certainly can’t say the same.
Yes, I've met Kemi Badenoch. I speak to her occasionally. I like her personally. We have worked together in Parliament. She spoke positively about our rape gang inquiry, and I thanked her for it.
Numerous Conservative MPs have supported my parliamentary work, including our inquiry.
Esther McVey. Nick Timothy. Jack Rankin. Peter Bedford. I could go on.
I am not going to apologise for that.
I will work with anyone in Parliament who is prepared to help deliver meaningful change. We have achieved results by doing precisely that.
Does that mean I forgive the Conservatives for what they did to Britain between 2010 and 2024?
Absolutely not. It was a betrayal.
I have literally established a national political party to fight them at the ballot box. I am delighted when we beat them, which is a growing amount. All that should be a fairly substantial clue…
But opposing a political party does not require you to behave like a petulant child towards every single person associated with it.
Conservative MPs believed I would do a good job on the Public Accounts Committee. I accepted the opportunity to scrutinise government spending and fight for British taxpayers.
Again, absolutely no apologies. I think we have delivered results.
Now let's compare that with Reform.
Reform tried to have me imprisoned over false allegations. I would be in prison today if they had their way.
Despite everything, I have repeatedly attempted to work with Reform MPs in Parliament. I have invited them to support initiatives, collaborate on important issues and help deliver results.
Time and again, those invitations have been ignored. My emails don’t even get a reply. I happily sign their motions and support their efforts, I did earlier this week. The feeling is not mutual.
They complain. They moan. They attack. They endlessly manufacture personal grievances.
But ask them to put their animosities aside and actually achieve something together?
Suddenly, it's total silence.
I've received more constructive support in Parliament from Labour MPs than from Reform.
Think about that.
It is grievance politics at its most pathetic. Negative, unproductive and deeply unprofessional.
My position is incredibly straightforward.
At elections, we are opponents. In Parliament, we have a responsibility to get things done. I believe that is what our constituents want us to do. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think not.
Reform claim we stand in more local council Reform seats than anyone else. Yes, because so many more Reform councillors resign in disgrace than any other party. We are moving towards standing in 100% of local council by-elections. We’ve stood in Reform seats, Labour seats, Tory seats.
Everywhere and anywhere.
I intend to fight both Reform and the Conservatives for every vote. I want Restore Britain to win over millions of people who previously voted for those parties.
But that does not mean I have to insult everyone I disagree with, refuse to speak to political opponents or sabotage decent initiatives because somebody else might receive a little credit.
I was elected to represent my constituents, not to participate in an endless Westminster playground feud.
Do I like Kemi Badenoch and some other Conservative MPs personally? Yes.
Will I work with them when it benefits the British people? Yes.
Do I fundamentally oppose the Conservative Party's record and want Restore Britain to defeat them electorally? Yes. Their 14 years of power was an utter betrayal, and is largely responsible for the social, economic and demographic vandalism we have endured.
All three things can be true. Any serious adult should be capable of understanding that. It is not difficult to comprehend.
I will work with Conservatives. I will work with Labour. I will work with Reform, if they ever decide to behave constructively.
Reform's increasingly nasty, brash and personally unpleasant approach to politics says far more about them than it does about me. It’s just downright rude.
They seem to believe that refusing to work with anyone is a demonstration of strength. In my view, it’s a weakness that erodes our politics and fails our constituents.
I have said it again and again.
I will work with anyone in parliament to deliver for the British people.
And I make no apologies for doing so.
In 2008 I called for Russell Brands contract with the BBC to be terminated. Reports of his depraved behaviour were an open secret.
In 2023 I wrote this…
It is still a mystery to me and to women everywhere how as a mother first, she stood by his side and backed him.

If this man had been a @reformparty_uk councillor the case would have led the news.
The trial of the men alleged to have raped this Tory councillors wife after he drugged her and advertised her for sex is continuing at Winchester Crown Court.
Astonishing that it hasn’t had hardly any coverage in the political arena. Imagine if this had been a Reform UK councillors rather than a Tory.
This is absolutely depraved and utterly disgusting on every level . I am in awe of his incredibly brave wife who waived her anonymity to expose this animal for what he is.

In these troubled times Angus MacIntyre will be appointed Reform UK’s Shadow Armed Forces Minister by Nigel Farage after quitting the military just days ago following 40 years of distinguished service.

Traitors? It’s time for a post-mortem. Because, let’s admit it, the most murderous act of the entire series was allowing this particular collection of celebrities into the castle in the first place.

@RobertJenrick is clearly the choice for a future Chancellor.
It would appear not …
Why isn't @RupertLowe10 standing Restore candidates in seats Conservatives are defending?
Is it part of a deal? Cons hand over an important Tory seat on the Public Accounts Committee if Rupert plays nicely with them?
Do Restore voters know they're propping up Conservatives?
Oh Rupert, behave.
The Tory fixer Dougie Smith is playing you like a fiddle and your deal has been done.
You aren’t standing candidates in local elections if Tories are standing and they aren’t standing in seats if Restore are.
You are an online party and you will hand the country over to a socialist government until 2034 and destroy what is left of Britain in the process.
A vote for Restore is a vote for Labour.
Vote Restore get Labour.
It happens every, single, time.
Labour won this local seat by 2 votes. 👏 Rupert Lowe.
‘His public humiliation was worse bullying than his alleged victim had experienced.’
Excellent analysis by Sir Michael Ellis KC.

The Standards Commisioner and Committee has lost all perspective.
It’s fundamentally undemocratic and needs to be abolished.
This Labour MP should not have to have done this. It is funny, ridiculous and bizarre in equal measure.
It makes a mockery of Westminster.
The Serjeant at Arms would have seen what took place and should confirm.
She is deflecting bcse she knows she behaved badly …
I’ve tried to find myself in the video because I remember this pretty clearly.
I think I’m one row back just out of shot on the left of the screen.
It’s completely beyond me how and why Caroline has presented herself as the victim here. She was bloody rude and really quite confrontational and she did it for no other reason than Nigel is Nigel and she wanted to give him a piece of her mind.
Anything other than it being a bit of a rush and a squeeze because of the occasion is nonsense.
From what I remember Caroline was both the instigator and the aggressor.
Whoops… another one.

‘John Healey, if you’re listening, where’s my breathing space?’
Business owner Paul Bowen has criticised the Chancellor’s promise to give ‘breathing space’ through measures in his Budget.

It’s deliberate. She’s appealing to Labour in a ‘gender neutral’ way and is seriously after the Speakers job.
I believe she is allegedly is the person who leaks stories to the media regarding the Speakers travel arrangements etc which results in negative media interest despite the fact that her own travel log and expenses make interesting reading.
The Westminster journalist who told me this was fairly unambiguous in his assertion.
Her actual performance in the debate was dreadful. Constant ‘look at me’ preening for the camera and interruptions. The Commons is a sad place these days.
It's probably deemed sexist to say so, but the Chair of Ways and Means looks fabulously dapper. #Budget2026
