Show Notes
The UK Metropolitan Police is carrying out a criminal investigation into allegations the Reform party broke electoral law by accepting foreign funding, following a Channel 4 news undercover report.
Two of the party's top aides James Orr and Dan Jukes who were filmed in the report resigned over the scandal.
Reform UK spokesperson said the party ‘denies any wrongdoing and will fully cooperate with the investigation’.
Support for the party has already started to slip, polling has dropped from over 30% in late 2025 to around 20% last month.
Farage is still popular with his base and with fellow right-wing leaders in Europe, such as Jordan Bardella from France’s National Rally.
As the police begin their investigation into this donation scandal, can Farage revive his party’s popularity?
