## Resource

Reform UK is facing a political firestorm as an undercover Channel 4 investigation alleges two senior figures may have violated UK election laws by accepting a $30,000 U.S. donation for polling — a move that could be illegal under British rules. The party claims it was duped by climate activists posing as donors and denies wrongdoing, while both Labour and the Met Police are now involved, with officials calling for a formal probe. Key figures have stepped down temporarily as Reform conducts its own review, amid mounting pressure and a conference hoping for a fresh start.
