Labour to report Reform UK to police over US donation for polls

independent.co.uk

Labour intends to report Reform UK to the police over allegations the party breached political donation rules by accepting £32,500 from a US firm to fund three polls, as reported by Channel 4 News. The funding came from undercover reporters at investigative group Verbatim, who posed as an American financier and his UK-based son. Electoral law prohibits foreign companies from providing funds to political parties, including for research purposes. Reform denies wrongdoing, citing a robust vetting process approved by the Electoral Commission. The claims follow scrutiny of leader Nigel Farage over an undeclared £5 million gift from crypto-billionaire Christopher Harborne, which is under parliamentary investigation.
