Reform did not breach electoral law in foreign donations discussion, party finds

An internal investigation by Reform UK concluded that senior party officials did not break electoral law when discussing potential foreign donations, despite an undercover report by Channel 4 News. The Channel 4 report showed Reform figures discussing how to secure a proposed £500,000 donation from a foreign source in ways that appeared to circumvent the law. However, the investigation found no evidence of any illegal activity and stated that such discussions did not actually occur. Despite this finding, the inquiry criticized the officials for their careless statements during the undercover filming. The Metropolitan Police is also conducting a separate criminal investigation into Reform UK's actions related to foreign funding laws.
