Party conference in Birmingham: New allegations against British right-wing populists surrounding Farage
The British right-wing populists of the Reform UK party are facing new allegations. Again, it's about money. While the annual conference is still ongoing, the first personnel consequences are following.
A long queue has formed outside the conference centre in Birmingham, where the annual conference of Reform UK, a right-wing populist party, is being held. Party leader Nigel Farage has denied any wrongdoing amid allegations of a spending scandal, which suggests that party officials may have sought to circumvent British donation rules to make use of foreign funds.
Two senior officials, including a close adviser to Farage, have resigned following an investigation into the claims, which were made by Channel 4 News. The party's supporters remain loyal, with some expressing their support for Farage and the party's policies on issues such as migration.
