Rupert Lowe

[Tamesaint]

Being a dad of a certain age with centrist political views I naturally listen to the Rest is Politics podcast. It is hosted by ex MP and Tory Cabinet minister Rory Stewart and Tony Blair's ex spin doctor Alistair Campbell. 

Campbell is a Burnley fan. In a recent podcast he claimed that before Saints Burnley games he used to have lunch with Rupert Lowe. He described Lowe as the most right wing person that he had ever met.... and I bet that he has encountered a few!!

As far as I remember, didn’t he take money out of the club to prop up his ailing West Country nursing homes?

I can’t remember anything about that and whilst he was an arrogant disaster as a Chairman, I doubt he’d have done anything like that whilst at the club. Happy to take large scale furlough payments of £100k whilst his firm made a £8m profit during Covid, and a total hypocrite over net zero and selling heat pumps https://www.desmog.com/2024/08/27/reform-mp-rupert-lowe-great-yarmouth-owns-green-tech-company-heat-pumps-nigel-farage-climate-change/ but I can’t recall nor envisage him doing that.
