Senior Reform UK officials were filmed discussing plans to channel thousands of pounds from a US company into the party, potentially violating electoral law. The two officials have since stepped down but deny wrongdoing. The investigation by Channel 4 News and Verbatim found Head of Policy James Orr and aide Dan Jukes arranged for the US firm to secretly fund three party-commissioned polls. Rival parties have reported Reform to police, while the party denies any breach and has launched an internal inquiry. Nigel Farage maintains the party broke no laws. The discussion was analyzed by a former Reform member, a Labour MP, and an election law expert.
