Two senior advisers at Britain’s Reform UK step down after an undercover investigation alleges the party sought illegal overseas funding. Nigel Farage responds by saying Reform has “broken no law,” rejecting the implication that the party knowingly engaged in unlawful activity.
The developments unfold amid preparations for the party conference in Birmingham, where the allegations take center stage. Outlets report that the resignations follow the sting operation and that the investigation focuses on whether the party attempted to obtain funds from abroad in ways that would violate UK rules. While Farage disputes wrongdoing, the reporting highlights the scrutiny surrounding the party’s fundraising practices and compliance with election and party-finance regulations.
