Undercover report on donations ‘looks bad’ for Reform, admits Nigel Farage – UK politics live

The Reform UK leader is under pressure after senior aides appeared to plot how to bypass electoral laws on foreign donations

In an interview with the BBC’s Laura Kuenssbergg, Nigel Farage acknowledged that the comments by James Orr and Dan Jukes were “injudicious at best” and admitted that the optics of the undercover filming don’t look good for his party.

“This looks bad, as does the sale of peerages, as does government contracts for donations. We are not the first people to be involved in a row over donations,” he said.
