Nigel Farage heckled as he denies Reform UK took illegal funding
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was heckled by protesters on Friday, as he addressed the party’s conference in Birmingham.
Two senior advisers to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage have resigned after an undercover investigation alleged that the party breached electoral law by arranging foreign-funded polling. The investigation, conducted by Channel 4 and Verbatim, claimed that the party had arranged for a US company to pay over £30,000 for three opinion polls.
Reform UK denied any wrongdoing and stated that the allegations were the result of a hoax by climate activists. The party has announced an internal investigation, and the two officials involved in the undercover filming, James Orr and Dan Jukes, have stepped down pending the results. The governing Labour Party has written to the police, requesting an investigation into potential criminal offenses, including alleged proposals to channel overseas donations through a UK intermediary.
