If it couldn't get any worse in politics .......... Rupert Lowe wins Great Yarmouth seat for Reform UK | Great Yarmouth Mercury

[JRM]

Good luck to him, he won't be any worse than most labour or conservatives MPs 

[beatlesaint]

Sunak no longer the biggest cock associated with Saints in Parliament then !

Err, he comfortably will be. Whenever I saw him, I thought that a village somewhere was missing its idiot.

[Farmer Saint]

What a fucking cunt. 

[Hatch]

Deputy PM by the end of the year 😇😜

Obviously in a minority but as there's no longer any Dalek2003 to make the point, with a lot of hindsight, I don't think Lowe did that badly and it was mainly his pompous manner that rubs people up the wrong way. Obviously didn't get the investment we needed, but with the stadium and academy he set up a reasonably attractive platform for Liebherr to take over and reap the benefit as we got back to the PL.

Also, there seemed to be uproar at the time, but if we took Hoddle back we might have not gone down and we would have accepted him soon enough.

For anyone who disagrees, Mike Wilde turned out to be the personification of "be careful what you wish for". We're quite ready to give our opinion on the latest weird kit, but I wonder what sales were like of those "Saints Go Wilde" t-shirts? Didn't recall much criticism of it at the time.

Politically, that's another matter. His Brexit party is what helped get us in the current mess in the first place. Reform had a candidate talking up Putin in Salisbury of all places - sums them up for me really.

A lot of hindsight and a big dollop of re-writing history 

[Saint Gifford]

Failed to get in for them in a by-election in Kingswood Bristol a few months ago. Now turns up in Great Yarmouth. 
 

Nice to see he is committing to his local community again. 😂😂😂😂

[Mltburger]

Let's hope he does for Reform what he did for Saints.

Get them relegated competing at local elections and then they go bankrupt and into administration.

“I’m donating my entire net MP salary to Great Yarmouth charities/worthy causes.

Each month, a different one will be chosen and I will post proof for every single one”

[Challenger]

My great aunt lives in GY and is going to write to Lowe on Monday asking what he intends to do about the increasing amount of dog turds on the beach.

[Pamplemousse]

I hate him more than Harry Redknapp.

Probably to make up for never going to GY ! I expect he'll be claiming expenses at Westminster though 😃

[Badger]

I’m waiting for when he tells David Lammy in a parliamentary exchange that  either he (or another , perhaps the Russians on a debate about Ukraine) , aren’t going to be pushed around by a North London yobbo …

Really? You either do not know Rupert Lowe (a narcissist if ever there was one) or your politics.

Someone say takeover? I'm there 😂 😉

He was bigging himself up on his Reform Ltd FB page about his time at Saints so I very politely pointed out that under his stewardship we went into Administration and got relegated. He blocked me.

Home truths hurt eh? 🤣

Back in the late PLC era I bought shares just so I could help influence the removal of the arsehole - great satisfaction when he was gone!

Odds on he’ll drag the House of Commons radio station into the digital age.

I'd love to see him up against Lammy in a debate, would be a straight sets win for the ex-Saint 👍

That sounds good but is just pathetic. What is he trying to achieve? He clearly does not need any salary as he is a wealthy man either through business or inherited wealth. Most people, if they were MPs, would need to live on their salary as they would not be as wealthy as him. God help us if we were to go back to the days when  MP's were not paid.

It’s all about him. Rather than give it away why not just decline to take it?

He can say he's obviously not in politics for the money, instead he's generously donating his time and energy to Make Yarmouth Great Again.

Plus, by directly having a positive impact on local causes through his noble generosity, perhaps he can convince a few more voters that he's not any worse than most labour or conservatives MPs and thus be re-elected in a landslide next time around.

It says 'Net' salary.  So after constituency running costs, travel, board, lodgings, food, entertainment etc etc etc are taken out.

Probably a hundred quid a month will be 'donated' - then that will be used as a tax write off somewhere else!

It basically will get him out of  spending any time in the constituency actually doing any casework or actually getting his hands dirty with real people and their needs.

He's bought himself a "get out of work" card because he just point to his financial "generosity".

Net of income tax as well, probably at 45% rate. GY should not hold their collective breath for any significant charity donations.

Aren’t the items in bold paid as expenses or allowance in addition to salary ? 

If so, they shouldn’t reflect in net salary.

I don't see the fuss tbh. I doubt very much the people of Great Yarmouth give a shit who he is or even care about what he is going to do for them at that level. I bet the majority voted for him because they voted for Reform. Pure and simple.

But any charitable donation would be tax free so they should get the pre-tax amount.

Exactly, they havent voted for him, theyve voted for the party. In much the same way Farage wont go to Clacton and listen to Mrs Smith moan about the state of the pavements he wont be going anywhere near Great Yarmouth.

I assume then that SIR Keir Starmer will be donating his salary to charities also then?

We don’t agree especially about Farage and his ilk who are just showmen at best and quite happy to accept Russian money and promote Putins agenda .

Back in the day there was a site you could go on and punch the fuck out of Lowes face.

Childish but thoroughly enjoyable, need to get that back again.

[Saint_John]

He has kept to his word :-

https://x.com/RupertLowe10/status/1810295583367680073

You would think that Kier (net worth 7-15m ) and Rushi (650m) could match his gesture.

So he has earned net £4k after one days work and not even going into the Office.

He hasn't been paid a penny yet, what he has said is that he will donate roughly £4k to Gt Yarmouth Town FC. He is basing this on estimated nett monthly salary for an MP. Not knocking him, I detest the gammon, but fair play he has made a gesture and is sticking to his word with a promise up front to the the football club, which will help them with their finances and planning.
