## Resource

British polling integrity is under fire after JL Partners, a major pollster, was exposed for releasing paid surveys without disclosing funders—leading to top Reform UK figures stepping down. Undercover reporters revealed the firm’s pattern of hiding donor identities, with former staff and clients alleging similar misconduct across other UK polling firms. Despite rules requiring full transparency from the British Polling Council, polls for Tory leadership candidates—including favorable results for Sunak, Tugendhat, and Braverman—were published without naming sponsors. Reform UK denies wrongdoing as police investigate the sting operation, sparking calls for industry-wide reforms to prevent hidden political influence in polling.
