Story summary

Reform UK, a British populist party led by Nigel Farage, has been embroiled in a scandal over foreign donations. The party received £4 million from Ben Delo, a crypto entrepreneur who was convicted of a banking secrecy violation in the US and pardoned by Donald Trump, accounting for 75% of its donations last quarter. However, an investigation by Channel 4 News found that Reform UK officials were secretly filmed discussing ways to circumvent UK electoral laws on foreign donations. Two senior officials, Dan Jukes and James Orr, have stepped down pending an internal investigation.

The undercover reporters from Verbatim posed as an American donor and his son who had paid for polling allegedly commissioned by Reform UK and were seeking to channel money to the party. Accepting donations from a foreign company can constitute a criminal offence, and the party has been reported to the police. The Liberal Democrats have also asked Parliament's standards watchdog to investigate the claims.

Farage has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, saying that his party had broken no laws and dismissing Jukes' comments as "loose pub talk." However, the footage appears to show senior Reform figures discussing how to disguise donations from foreign sources, which could be a serious breach of electoral law.
