Lewis Goodall speaks to Shelagh Fogarty about Rupert Lowe’s 'fortune' earned from posts on Elon Musk’s X.

The Restore Britain leader is set to be paid as much for his often divisive social media posts as his work as an MP.

At the moment, Lowe has received over £100,000 for his posts.

Lewis Goodall suggests there might be some ulterior motive to Musk's algorithm promoting Lowe's posts, calling it a 'perverse incentive' to use 'inflammatory' politics.

Goodall elaborates on how an MP being paid for social media could become 'quite problematic'.
