Rupert Lowe's dog Cromwell was old + had been unwell + his legs were bad. He could've been cared for, then put sleep at home peacefully in bed, by a vet, kindly But his master chose to have him taken out + shot by his gameskeeper instead Rupert Lowe is a cruel coward who delegates his dirty work

[s/s from Daily Mail article showing a photo of 2 dogs lying on a farm track, one sandy one black, that might be happy or possibly thirsty or maybe both I don't speak dog] Text: In 2019, Lowe shared a picture of his two labradors Cromwell and Pitch (pictured), who he said 'made more sense than politicians a lot of the time' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14835013/Reform-UK-Rupert-Lowe-pet-labrador-rifle.html https://archive.ph/FewoB s/s Mail On Sunday report 21 June 2025 MPs' shock as former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe reveals he had pet labrador put down with a rifle He has been no stranger to controversy since becoming a Reform MP last year and now Rupert Lowe has sparked fury after having his pet labrador put down with a rifle. Colleagues were shocked after it emerged Mr Lowe - now sitting as an independent -asked his gamekeeper to shoot 17-year-old Cromwell in the back of the head at his Gloucestershire estate. The dog had been unwell and lost the use of his back legs. Mr Lowe said he took decisive action after realising Cromwell's suffering was extreme and that waiting overnight to take him to the vet would be 'cruel'. He made the admission openly to colleagues in Westminster, triggering fierce debate about whether it was a kind choice. A parliamentary source said: 'For weeks, it was going around the Commons like wildfire that Rupert had shot his dog. Colleagues were appalled and upset, with most thinking it was a cruel way to behave.' Some MPs see a town-versus-country element to this method of putting animals down. Those in rural areas, including landowners, are seen as being less sentimental. One MP said: 'It's an The Great Yarmouth MP said: 'My keeper shot our dog the other day. He was a labrador of 17. 'Dogs do go through ups and downs for a bit, but in the end Cromwell's back legs went and our keeper Kevin very kindly did the job. 'Cromwell didn't go anywhere, he wasn't away from home and he wouldn't have known anything about it. So much kinder. 'They are not driven to the vet, they don't smell the vet, it's just all over very quickly.' Mr Lowe said that while he gave the instruction to shoot Cromwell, he couldn't stomach doing it himself.

Let’s not forget that Reform are merely a rebrand of the Brexit Party which, in turn, grew out of Ukip. It’s tempting to believe that Nige has been in more parties than Boris Johnson. His usual party trick is to resign and then retake the top job, writes Ruth Wishart ✍️

Mysterious unnamed virus keeps knocking down professional athletes - none of these articles ever say, "Everybody tested negative for COVID" It's The Virus That Shall Not Be Named. Also, high-intensity cardio while infected is about the WORST thing you can do to increase the danger of Long COVID.

Apparently the UK government are doing an emergency alert test on the 7th of September so just in case anyone knows any current domestic abuse victims who would need to have their safety phones switched off so as not to be outed, please pass it in.
