Former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has refused to rule out a possible move to the Conservatives after being "politically assassinated" by his former party.
Speaking to GB News, Lowe admitted there are "some very able Tories", and that "all options are open" when it comes to where he will go next.
Lowe sparked speculation as to whether he would team up with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch after being spotted going for lunch with Shadow Justice Minister Robert Jenrick.
Pressed by GB News host Martin Daubney on "what was on the menu" during the lunch, Lowe admitted that he has been for "other lunches" with the Tory minister in recent months.

Lowe revealed: "I had lunch with Robert Jenrick probably three months ago at my club, and I simply had lunch with him at his club.
"I've always said, since my political assassination, which was very clumsy and arguably somewhat un-Christian, I have all options open.
"And I have to confess, I was not expecting to be politically taken out like a sort of wing forward takes out the scrum half if you will, but I'm now free."
Outlining his next steps for his political career, Lowe made clear he is "not plotting to do any badness" to anyone else.
Lowe stated: "I've got lots of options open to me. I'm not plotting to do any badness to anybody else, what I'm intent on doing, and I think I've made this clear, is changing the way Britain's governed by 2029.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Lowe was suspended by Reform UK in March after being accused of 'serious bullying'PA"And I've now got to turn my mind to finding a way to do that."
Hitting out at the current Government system, Lowe fumed: "Personally, having come from the real world and having now witnessed the way Parliament operates, the way the civil service operates, the way the front bench operates, the way the Labour Government is basically surrendering vast tracts of British sovereign territory with absolutely almost with a smile on their faces.
"They speak with forked tongue, so I think collectively the British people who care about the country have to now find a solution to changing the way we're governed by 2029, and that's what I'm turning my mind to."
Pressed by Martin on his relations with the Conservatives, Lowe revealed he is "talking to the Tories a lot" and has thrown his support behind many of the young Tories.

Lowe told GB News: "I talk to all the Tories a lot. They knew that the attempt to politically assassinate me was a farce. I've been talking to them and here's some great young Tories.
"I think there are some very able Tories. A lot of them are young, and I've got huge amounts of admiration for Jack Rankin and for Katie Lam."
He added: "But I think we've got to find somehow a collective solution, and what that means, and what I've been trying to do is effectively unite right wing thought through policy, and that was my issue.
"We need policy, we have to have a plan. We have to have a detailed roadmap to changing the way we're governed, and that's not going to happen by just what I call shallow rhetoric.
"That's got to happen by plan, so I'm now calling all options, all options are open, that's the message."
