改革英国党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇在党代表大会期间因政治献金风波陷入困境。1该党两名高级助手丹·朱克斯和詹姆斯·奥尔于周五被停职，原因是他们在卧底调查中被拍到讨论如何规避海外献金法律。1一名伪装成美国投资者的卧底记者在调查中获得了相关证据，其父亲据称为该党支付了30000英镑的民调费用。1
面对争议，法拉奇为自己辩护称，在相关会议上"我甚至没在听"，并宣称自己"比任何人都更了解献金法"。1英国警方目前正在评估法拉奇及其两名助手是否违反了政治融资法律。1与此同时，党内财政发言人罗伯特·詹里克承诺，若其上台执政，将在首100天内把个人献金免税额提高至15000英镑。1法拉奇还透露，家人曾要求他"退出政治"。1此外，前保守党议员纳丁·多里斯已加入改革英国党。1
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage faces mounting pressure over political donations at the party's conference, following an undercover investigation that exposed his two senior aides discussing methods to circumvent overseas fundraising regulations.1 Dan Jukes and James Oller were suspended on Friday after being filmed by undercover journalists posing as American investors, with the investigation revealing discussions about a USD-denominated family office serving as a source of pound-denominated donations.1
Responding to the scandal, Farage dismissed concerns about his involvement, stating "I wasn't even listening" regarding the relevant meeting and asserting "I know the donations law better than anybody."1 UK police are currently assessing evidence to determine whether Farage and his two suspended aides have breached political finance laws.1 Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick committed to raising the donation threshold to £15,000 within the first hundred days of taking office, while former Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has joined Reform UK.1 Farage also disclosed that family members have urged him to withdraw from politics.1
