Reform UK Under Fire Over Poll Funding | US News

Reform UK is in turmoil after allegations it broke electoral law by arranging for a foreign donor to pay for political polling — a move that could violate UK rules banning foreign political funding. Two senior advisors stepped down amid an undercover investigation aired by Channel Four, which claims a U.S. firm paid over £30,000 for three polls. The party denies wrongdoing, calling the probe a hoax by climate activists and insisting the advisors were entrapped. Leader Nigel Farage says no laws were broken and that the polls weren’t officially commissioned by the party. Meanwhile, Labour has called for police investigation, and the Electoral Commission is reviewing the situation — though it has never approved any party’s donor vetting process. The controversy hits as Farage faces separate scrutiny over a large donation and his party holds its annual conference.
