No realistic possibility of returning to its pre-2014 borders, when Russia occupied and annexed Crimea and backed insurgents in the Donbas.
"We've got a lot of development to do, but we're absolutely not a protest party," Farage told the programme.When asked why Lowe had gone public with his remarks, Farage said: "Perhaps he wants to be prime minister. Most people in politics do."
He added: "His comments are wrong, we are making gigantic strides."Reform UK won five seats in last year's general election and more than four million votes, the third-largest vote share of any party.Lowe's comments are the first example of a Reform UK MP appearing to openly criticise Farage since the general election last July.
When asked about Farage's potential to become prime minister, Lowe told the Daily Mail: "It's too early to know whether Nigel will deliver the goods. He can only deliver if he surrounds himself with the right people."Nigel is a fiercely independent individual and is extremely good at what we have done so far. He has got messianic qualities. Will those messianic qualities distill into sage leadership? I don't know."
Lowe also suggested he could leave Reform UK if the party did not change before the next general election.
Lowe said: "We have to change from being a protest party led by the Messiah into being a properly structured party with a frontbench, which we don't have. We have to start behaving as if we are leading and not merely protesting."The modernisation works include changes to the forecourt’s entrance and exit, and pedestrian improvements along Western Esplanade including an upgraded toucan crossing and footway improvements.
Councillor Eamonn Keogh, cabinet member for environment and transport at Southampton City Council, said: “We want to ensure that our city’s gateways offer the best welcome to visitors, so we can help deliver on our plans to become a destination city."The works at the station will not only improve access to sustainable travel, but they also form part of our wider plans to improve public transport across the city and reduce congestion.
"All the new facilities look great, I am particularly impressed with the new passenger waiting lounge, which gives visitors a positive impression of Southampton on arrival and complements the art-deco style of the station.”Business owners are backing a regeneration plan to "freshen up" part of a town centre in Surrey.
