An election candidate has become the target of an anonymous flyer campaign attacking him for having twice as many roles as an outgoing Tory who became a 'poster boy' for the MP second job controversy.

The flyers plastered around Great Yarmouth accuse Rupert Lowe, the Reform candidate for the constituency, of having 13 'jobs'.

The poster suggests if he were to become MP, it would mean he would have double the number of positions held by Sir Brandon Lewis, who was heavily criticised for having seven jobs which earned him in the region of £500,000 a year.

The poster, which includes a QR code that links to Mr Lowe's portfolio of roles on Companies House and asks, "Want another part-time MP?" before listing 13 positions he holds.

It is not clear who is behind creating the material.

Mr Lowe is a director of several different firms, which includes his 100-year-old family business, Lowe and Oliver, as well as a salmon fishing company based in Northumberland.

Other posts include being the director of an international football training academy and a director of Biopharma, which provides pharmaceutical equipment in the UK, Ireland and France.

Mr Lowe says these roles are non-executive director positions or companies that he has shareholdings in. Some are not trading companies and other roles are unpaid. None are full-time positions and they "do not have legal contracts of employment". 

Mr Lowe, who was formerly the chairman of Southampton Football Club, has dismissed the attack, saying being Great Yarmouth's MP "will be my full-time job".

"I'm proud of my role in building a number of successful businesses and I intend to apply that experience to help foster small business in the area and attract investment."

He has also promised to donate his entire net MP salary to local charities and causes, choosing a different one each month.

It comes as the Labour candidate for Great Yarmouth, Keir Cozens, has made a promise to "never take a second job outside parliament" following the criticism of Sir Brandon.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr Cozens said: "We’ve all had enough of part-time politicians who don’t live here and line their pockets with second jobs.

"It's time for change. No ifs, no buts. I will never take a second job outside parliament."
