Reform UK aide filmed advising on foreign donation loophole

Reform UK senior aide Dan Jukes was filmed suggesting a way to circumvent electoral law to accept a £500,000 foreign donation, according to undercover footage broadcast by Channel 4. Jukes met a reporter posing as the UK-based son of an American businessman, proposing the donation be made in the son's name despite the father's money, claiming the party had used this method before. Reform UK denies wrongdoing, calling it a hoax by foreign-funded activists. The footage also shows leader Nigel Farage at a lunch with the reporters, saying "it's all above board" after the son outlined the arrangement. Reform UK has launched internal investigations into Jukes and policy head James Orr.
