英国改革党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇在接受英国广播公司采访时承认该党面临的海外捐款纠纷"看起来不好"，但坚称外国资金流入从未发生过1。法拉奇因被曝光在卧底调查中试图绕过外国捐款法律的言论而暂停了两名亲密助手的职务1。这两名被暂停职务的人员分别是助手丹·朱克斯和政策主管詹姆斯·奥尔1。
法拉奇对两名助手的言论进行了评价，称其"充其量是不谨慎的"，并辩称自己"甚至没有听"争议所涉及的那场会议1。改革党财政发言人声称已获得大律师提供的法律意见，表明党派并未违反选举法1。与此同时，伦敦警察厅已评估相关证据，预期将启动全面调查1。此前曾有报道称法拉奇收到加密货币亿万富翁的500万英镑礼物，他声称这笔款项用于安保费用1。
Nigel Farage, leader of Britain's Reform Party, has acknowledged that the party faces an overseas donation row that "looks bad," yet he maintains the party did not violate electoral law 1. The controversy centres on undercover footage revealing attempts to circumvent foreign donation regulations, prompting Farage to suspend two senior aides from their positions 1.
The suspended staffers, Dan Jukes and James Orr, were captured in the investigation attempting to skirt restrictions on foreign funding 1. Farage characterised their remarks as "at best injudicious" and claimed he "wasn't even listening" during the meeting at the centre of the dispute 1. In an interview with the BBC, Farage stated that foreign funding "never happened," denying that overseas money reached the party 1.
To bolster his position, Reform has obtained legal counsel from a King's Counsel confirming the party did not breach electoral law 1. The controversy follows Farage's earlier acceptance of a £5 million gift from a cryptocurrency billionaire, which he said was designated for security costs 1. The Metropolitan Police has assessed the evidence and is expected to launch a full investigation 1.
