Rupert Lowe has taken to X to attack Reform’s Lee Anderson for “leaking private details about my terminally ill dog – and his death – just to smear my name in the media.” Lowe says he trusted Lee with the news because he thought he was “a friend…”
The confirmation that it was Lee who leaked the story he says came from a “respected journalist” at the Daily Goat. Lowe then goes on to explain why he had to put his 17-year-old dog down:
“We had a choice. Waiting for the vet, which he hated, where his life would end on a steel table in a bright shining room with needles poking him. Or a quick death in his favourite field, having said goodbye to his family.”
He finishes with a howl of fury:
“I wanted to talk to somebody about it, and I did so with Anderson—in confidence. He betrayed that trust in the most spectacularly vile way. Honestly, I am so disgusted with Anderson. You’re a coward, a bully, and a rat.”
Barking…
Read Lowe’s statement in full below:
A story has been published today containing evidence that Lee Anderson was the one leaking private details of my terminally ill dog, and his death, in order to smear my name in the media.
I told one person in Parliament about Cromwell’s death. Lee Anderson. Why? Because I considered him a friend, and he was going through something similar with his own dog.
I confided in Lee, and I told him how difficult I was finding it. He then used that confidential conversation in an attempt to ruin my reputation. We now have proof of this, detailed today by a respected journalist – Michael Leidig.
Cromwell was 17 years old. He was in agony, his back legs had gone, he was incontinent. His life was effectively over. We had a choice. Waiting for the vet, which he hated, where his life would end on a steel table in a bright shining room with the vet jabbing him with needles. That, or a quick death in his favourite field having said goodbye to his family. I choose the latter, every single time.
I wanted to talk to somebody about it, and I did so with Anderson – in confidence. He betrayed that trust, in the most spectacularly vile way. Obviously all on top of his attempt to try and put me in prison on false allegations, but that is another story. Honestly, I am so disgusted with Anderson. I know Reform figures have been relentlessly leaking stories to the media about me, and now there is undeniable evidence. I make my criticisms of Reform, Farage and the rest public. Anderson, and the others, should have the courage to do the same.
I loved Cromwell. He had a good life, and I miss him dearly. Using his memory to attack me is contemptible. Using a confidential conversation between ‘friends’ to attack me is contemptible. Anderson is contemptible. My own legal action against him continues. Decent British men don’t behave like this. It’s filth.
Please know that anything you tell these people, however close you may feel you are to them, will be held back and deployed against you when it is politically convenient for them to do so.
– you’re a coward, a bully and a rat.
