British Reform Party conference hit by political donations scandal, two cadres resigned

(Central News Agency, Birmingham, 4th Comprehensive Foreign News Report) The British Reform Party led by far-right leader Farage held its annual party conference today, but it was once again caught in a scandal due to accusations of violating political donation regulations.

Agence France-Presse reported that the Brexit figure had hoped to use the meeting to get rid of multiple controversies related to financial gifts that have affected his anti-immigration party's momentum in the polls.

However, just hours before Nigel Farage delivered his keynote speech, two senior members of the Reform UK party resigned following the broadcast of an undercover investigation by Channel 4 News. The report accused the two of conspiring to accept a foreign donation that is prohibited under British electoral law.

The British Reform Party issued a statement stating that party policy director James Orr and Farage's long-time aide Dan Jukes have temporarily resigned from their posts pending the results of an internal party investigation.

Several rival political parties, including the ruling Labor Party, have reported to police that three opinion polls commissioned by the Reform Party earlier this year were funded by an American company.

Those so-called donors were actually undercover reporters from the investigative reporting group Verbatim.
