cbsnews.com

Two senior aides to Nigel Farage's Reform party have resigned after an undercover investigation alleged breaches of British electoral law regarding foreign donations. The party has launched an internal probe. The Channel 4 report showed aides James Orr and Dan Jukes discussing donations from a journalist posing as an American businessman's son. Secretly filmed footage allegedly shows arrangements for polls funded by £32,500, with Jukes denying wrongdoing and calling it entrapment. The allegations emerged as Reform's annual conference began, adding pressure on Farage, who denies any illegality. Police and the Electoral Commission are assessing the matter, while rival parties have filed complaints.
