Fresh illicit-funding sting haunts Reform UK and Farage
An undercover Channel 4 News/Verbatim report shows Nigel Farage meeting individuals posing as a US donor and his UK-based son who allegedly funded Reform UK polls, potentially breaching UK electoral funding rules; Reform UK says it did nothing illegal and is launching an internal review. The sting adds to recent fundraising controversies around Farage, including a £5m crypto-backed donation, with the Electoral Commission and Metropolitan Police examining related donations; no arrests have been made as Reform hosts its Birmingham conference.
