Undercover footage shows Farage accepting donations that may violate UK law

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has been filmed accepting donations that appear to violate British electoral law, risking new parliamentary investigations after previously denying such claims. Undercover footage from the journalist network Verbatim shows Farage thanking a donor for a £600,000 sum, with his aides allegedly concealing its foreign origin. The donations, including £420,000 for opinion polls, came from a US company via a fake British intermediary. Farage had resigned his seat in July to trigger a by-election, which he won, thereby ending a prior ethics probe. British law requires donors to be UK-registered voters or businesses. Reform UK has placed two aides under internal investigation while denying wrongdoing, calling the sting a fraud by climate activists. The revelations could prompt a new public inquiry into the party's funding practices.
