Reform UK internal probe clears officials of foreign-donation breach despite police inquiry

Reform UK's internal investigation has cleared two senior officials of breaking foreign donation laws, while police continue their criminal investigation into the party.

• Reform published a 27-page internal report finding Dan Jukes and James Orr had not breached funding rules over a scheme involving a US donor who paid £30,000 for polls.
• The Metropolitan Police is still investigating potential electoral offences, and both men remain suspended while it continues.
• A Reform spokesperson said the party found no evidence laws were broken and will take legal action against Verbatim, whose undercover footage prompted the probe.
• Verbatim noted the report was internal and authored by Reform's own officials, saying the police investigation remains ongoing.
