Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Under UK electoral law, political parties may only accept donations from British voters or UK-registered businesses.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Dan Jukes, a long-serving Farage aide, and James Orr, the party’s head of policy, have stood down pending an internal investigation of their appearance in the footage.
“The party has broken no laws, the party has not taken any dodgy money or anything like that whatsoever,” Farage insisted.
Income could have came from all over the world into a family office based in London.
In a film by Verbatim Investigations and Channel 4 News, Farage and Jukes were present during a conversation in which it is suggested the US donor gives £500,000 to Reform through his UK-based son.
