Funding probe prompts Farage to suspend Reform UK officials

The Electoral Commission said it is reviewing information about Reform UK's funding and has been in touch with the Met Police after claims the party breached funding rules, prompting Nigel Farage to suspend Reform UK officials. Reform UK, the party once known as the Brexit Party, has seen growing support and local-election gains but faces ongoing questions about its funding. Farage quit his MP seat in July amid an ethics probe into a £5 million undeclared donation from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire, and says he plans to stand for reelection.
