英国改革党党魁奈杰尔·法拉奇的两名高级助手因涉嫌违反政治捐款规则而暂时离职。3詹姆斯·奥尔和丹·朱克斯已被暂停职务。3第四频道新闻的一项卧底调查指控他们试图策划来自不合格美国捐赠者的非法捐款。3根据调查，一名假扮美国商人的卧底记者承诺捐赠50万英镑，而他们最终获得了3万英镑用于民调，这笔款项未向选举委员会申报。3
改革党表示正在对此事进行调查。1伦敦警察厅正在评估证据，很可能启动全面调查。3对于这些指控，法拉奇予以否认，并在克拉克顿午餐中表示"一切合规"。3法拉奇还声称这项调查是"圈套"，称朱克斯和奥尔为"承包商"进行"闲聊"。3这一丑闻发生在改革党年度大会期间，打乱了法拉奇原定进行政策宣布的计划。2
Two senior officials from Nigel Farage's Reform UK party have temporarily stepped down following an undercover investigation into alleged donation irregularities.13 James Orr and Dan Jukes have been suspended from their positions after Channel 4 News revealed that party officials allegedly attempted to arrange illegal foreign donations.3 According to the undercover report, a fake American businessman promised to donate £500,000—a figure later reduced to £30,000—which was allegedly used to pay for polling work without being reported to the electoral commission.3
Farage has denied the allegations, characterizing the investigation as a "setup" and describing Orr and Jukes as "contractors" engaged in casual conversation.3 He stated that matters were "all above board" during a speech at a Clacton lunch event.3 The scandal has disrupted the party's annual conference, where Farage had planned to announce policy initiatives.2 The Metropolitan Police are currently assessing the evidence and are likely to launch a full investigation.3 The undercover operation was conducted by the Verbatim team and reported by Channel 4 News.3 Reform UK has indicated it is investigating the matter internally.1
