Nigel Farage told donors last month he would shake up the team running his Facebook account after concluding it was losing ground to Rupert Lowe online.
Rupert Lowe — who leads the rival right-wing Restore party — was cited by Farage as generating stronger Facebook engagement, underscoring a threat from Reform UK’s right flank.
