Reform UK faced a donations scandal after Channel 4 News and Verbatim released an undercover investigation showing senior party officials appearing to discuss circumventing British electoral law on foreign donations, including a potential £500,000 from a US donor. Two senior officials resigned following the revelations, and police began considering an investigation. Nigel Farage acknowledged the situation "looks bad" for his party but denied breaking the law, claiming he "wasn't even listening" during the meeting at the center of the controversy, while Robert Jenrick said the party had followed legal protocol "at all times."
