Reform UK has concluded that two senior members of staff named in a Channel 4 investigation did nothing wrong, and the party is now threatening legal action over the report.
Investigation Clears Senior Staff
The party's annual conference last month was overshadowed by a Channel 4 report, which claimed senior Reform figures had discussed how to disguise donations from foreign sources. The report led to the suspension of party leader Nigel Farage's closest aide, Dan Jukes, and policy chief James Orr.
A Reform spokesman said on Wednesday: "Following the allegations raised by Verbatim Investigations and Channel 4 on September 3, Reform UK commissioned a comprehensive internal investigation. The investigation examined all relevant evidence, including witness interviews, documentary records and electronic communications."
No Evidence of Wrongdoing
The Reform source added: "Having concluded the review, the investigation found no evidence that any laws were broken. Reform UK takes its obligations on governance and conduct extremely seriously. We consider that the production company – Verbatim – acted unlawfully and will be taking the appropriate legal action in due course."
The party has not specified what legal action it intends to take against the production company.
