Dan Jukes was Nigel Farage’s right-hand man. James Orr was Reform UK’s Head of Policy. Now both are suspended after an undercover investigation into alleged attempts to circumvent political donation rules.
Channel 4 News and Verbatim exposed senior Reform UK figures discussing secret poll funding, a proposed £500,000 donation route from an American via a British intermediary, and Nigel Farage later calling the support ‘all above board’. The footage deserves to be seen.
Operation Fortress promises that no small boat will reach Britain. The Navy would intercept boats and return people to France or Belgium. The missing part is that Britain cannot unilaterally make another country accept them.
Reform says severely disabled people will keep cash support. Its welfare plan also proposes reassessment, a new disability test and a different model for many other disabled people.
Reform wants marriage to become a core social-housing allocation factor. We agree the current system can penalise stable couples, but preferential treatment for marriage creates a new unfairness.
Reform proposes statutory social-housing maintenance standards with eviction required after repeated failures. We examine what that means for ordinary tenants, disabled people, carers and older residents.
Illegal working and unsafe delivery vehicles are real problems. Reform proposes prison, huge fines and full British licences. We examine what would change, what already exists and what other solutions could work.
Reform plans to leave the ECHR, repeal the Human Rights Act and scrap UK GDPR for a lighter regime. These laws do far more than immigration. They govern how ordinary people challenge the state and control personal data.
Reform wants at least half of social homes occupied by British-born workers and reserves its new programme for British-born workers. Citizenship and birthplace are not the same thing.
Zia Yusuf donated £200,000 to Reform, became chairman within weeks and later said he worked full-time for 11 months without a salary. Why does one senior Reform figure get paid while another pays to work?
Why do so many questions about Reform UK’s finances keep leading back to Richard Tice, linked companies, the Cottrells and a pattern of scrutiny from bankers, police and Parliament?
Nigel Farage is paid to represent Clacton but has generated more than £2m in outside income and financial interests, with MPs describing him as having 16 jobs. Which one comes first?
Clacton gave Nigel Farage the Westminster seat he had sought for years. Two years later, what has he actually delivered locally – and how accessible has its MP been?
Farage faced no mainstream-party candidate and ran a huge campaign, yet gained only 1,014 votes while valid voting in Clacton fell by 10,847 – down 23.6%.
Nigel Farage called the Clacton by-election a ringing endorsement. But 72.1% of the electorate did not vote for him and Count Binface took 26.9% of votes cast.
Nigel Farage resigned as Clacton MP during a standards inquiry, forced a costly by-election, won the same seat back and saw the investigation resume.
Christopher Harborne gave Nigel Farage £5 million personally in 2024. We examine the timing, the changing explanations, the disclosure questions and what remains unanswered.
Christopher Harborne has become Reform UK’s dominant donor. We examine his background, political donations, cryptocurrency interests and the questions Reform should answer.
A jailed former Reform Wales leader, Farage’s statements on Russia, questions over Russian disinformation and millions flowing into Reform. We examine the documented evidence and the questions Reform should answer.
