Reform UK faces probe as Farage aides quit over donation plot

Nigel Farage faces potential investigation after undercover footage aired by Channel 4 News revealed Reform UK officials allegedly orchestrated an illegal foreign donation scheme, prompting the resignation of Head of Policy James Orr and adviser Dan Jukes. The secret filming showed Orr and Jukes suggesting a supposed foreign donor pay for Reform-commissioned opinion polls, a breach of electoral law, and offering £500,000 via a British-based son, also illegal. Farage denied wrongdoing, saying officials overstepped but not regretting his own thanks to the donor. Reform announced an internal investigation, but its scope remains unclear, with Nadine Dorries stating the party won't probe Farage. The Electoral Commission confirmed it is in talks with police, leaving external scrutiny as the likely path forward.
