Farage to address Reform conference amid police funding probe

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is set to address the party's annual conference in Birmingham on Friday, but the event is overshadowed by police reports over alleged funding violations involving a foreign company. Channel 4 News reported Reform accepted £32,500 from a US firm for three polls, with donors revealed as undercover reporters posing as an American financier and his son. Rival parties reported the matter to police, citing foreign funding as potentially criminal. Reform denies wrongdoing, citing a robust vetting process. Farage will pledge to force Parliament to sit seven days a week to pass dozens of bills, declaring a national emergency on day one.
