Two officials from Britain’s Reform UK have stepped down amid the latest in a series of funding scandals for the far-right political party, according to Al Jazeera.

Resignations Follow Investigative Report

Party officials James Orr and Dan Jukes announced on Friday that they would step down, following the broadcast of an investigative television documentary by Channel 4 News.

The party, which has seen support slide amid numerous reports regarding infringement of party donation rules, said it would launch a probe into the latest allegations.

Allegations of Breach in Donation Rules

The undercover investigation by Channel 4 News alleged that the Reform UK officials breached political donation rules by arranging to have polling paid for by an overseas company.

In the documentary, Jukes is seen suggesting to an undercover reporter how to evade electoral law to make donations to the party from abroad.

Sitting at the table, Party leader Nigel Farage says all is “above board” as the reporter tells him that he has been in talks with Orr for some time.

The resignation of long-term Farage aide Jukes, and Reform’s head of policy Orr, comes on the eve of the party’s annual conference.

Farage – who has been dogged by questions over money received on a personal basis as well as by Reform in recent months, insisted on Friday in a radio interview that the party has “broken no laws.”

However, he added, “entrapped conversations don’t look good, and that’s why we’ve [launched the party investigation].”

Police and Political Reactions

A spokesperson for London’s Met Police said it was “aware of media reporting … involving political party donations and an alleged breach of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 relating to polling.”

The ruling Labour Party, as well as the opposition Liberal Democrats, said they had reported Reform to the police following the revelations, which the anti-immigration party initially dismissed as a “hoax.”

Farage sought to hit back by accusing other political parties of “selling peerages.”

“In the world of political funding, all sorts of things have been done over decades that are wrong,” he asserted — “We as a party have done nothing wrong. A couple of our contractors have said things that shouldn’t have been said.”

Around the same time, the party faced scrutiny over an undeclared personal gift of 5 million pounds ($6.7m) to Farage by cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne.

Both criminal and parliamentary investigations into Harborne’s donations, he has also given Reform more than 25 million pounds ($33.6m) – are continuing.

Scrutiny is focused on Tether, Harborne’s cryptocurrency, which has been widely linked to drug cartels, fraud, and human trafficking.

Apart from the financial issues, Farage made international headlines by resigning his parliamentary seat to prompt a by-election, in which he cast himself as taking on “the establishment.”

With other major parties dismissing the move as a stunt and refusing to put up candidates, the populist leader won comfortably, although the nearly 10,000 votes achieved by his closest rival, “intergalactic space warrior” Count Binface, illustrated significant opposition.
