He held this role until the UK's withdrawal from the European Union in 2020. Lowe entered the House of Commons at the 2024 UK general election as MP for Great Yarmouth and was appointed Reform UK's Business and Agriculture Spokesman. In March 2025, he had the whip suspended due to legal accusations, days after criticising Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
