Reform UK officials quit after new funding scandal

Two senior Reform UK officials, James Orr and Dan Jukes, resigned on Friday following an undercover documentary alleging the party arranged for an overseas company to fund polling, breaching donation rules. The party has launched a probe into the claims. The Channel 4 News investigation showed Jukes advising a reporter on evading electoral law, while leader Nigel Farage insisted the party broke no laws, calling the conversations "entrapped." Police are aware of the allegations, and Labour and the Liberal Democrats have reported Reform to authorities. The resignations come amid ongoing scandals, including an undeclared £5 million gift to Farage from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne, whose Tether currency faces scrutiny over criminal links. Farage dismissed the allegations as a "hoax" and accused other parties of wrongdoing.
