Farage to address Reform event again amid donations row
Reform UK is facing internal turmoil following the suspension of two senior aides amid allegations of illegal foreign political donations. Party leader Nigel Farage is attempting to manage the fallout while defending the party's financial practices.
Why it matters
The scandal poses a significant challenge to the party's credibility and legal standing regarding UK campaign finance laws.
Nigel Farage is to close Reform UK's conference as the party finds itself embroiled in a row about political donations and two senior aides were permanently suspended from their roles.
The Reform UK leader, who defended himself over allegations Reform had broken laws on political donations in his headline speech yesterday, is also expected to make closing remarks in Birmingham.
Reform found itself at the centre of fresh row about donations on Thursday, when Channel 4 broadcast footage that appeared to show senior Reform figures discussing how to disguise donations from foreign sources.
Senior Reform figures have given conflicting accounts of whether James Orr and Dan Jukes' suspension is permanent, or temporary and pending an investigation.
