If the police lied, Reform UK would have filed a complaint. They didn't. Unlikely to happen the other way round.

As Hugh stated, Farage did not say that point about his legal team on the video. Furthermore, the investigations are still underway so he's not been able to say he's been cleared.

Nigel Farage has suggested that he was misled by one of his closest political aides, as he seeks to distance himself from the scandal over illegal foreign donations that is engulfing his party.

The Reform UK leader was secretly recorded by an undercover journalist being told how they planned to circumvent electoral laws to fund the party.

The meeting had been arranged by Dan Jukes, one of Farage’s most trusted aides, who was trying to secure what would have been an illegal £500,000 donation for the party from an American businessman.

But Farage insisted on Sunday that he was told in advance of the meeting that the businessman was a permissible donor because his family office was based in London — that would have made the donation legitimate. Separate undercover footage revealed that Jukes knew that was not the case.

“I was told before the meeting that it was a global business, but there was the family office, was based in London,” he told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. “A global family business. Look, my job wasn’t to do compliance. My job wasn’t to do a background check. My job was to turn up at a lunch, have a glass of wine and shake somebody’s hand.”

Poor Kenny, sorry, Dan Jukes…

What you do in the privacy of your own home with your vast collection of Farage "candid" snaps is entirely your own business…

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Reform UK has received a £36m donation from British cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo - making it the largest single donation to a UK political party on record.

Mr Delo said he was making the donation to create "a level playing field" with other parties and ensure that Reform is given a "fair fight" at the polls in the next general election.

The donation makes him Reform's largest donor ahead of fellow crypto entrepreneur Christopher Harborne, who donated £9m to the party in August.

Channel 4 will already be hard at work with the 'hard hitting undercover investigation' which reveals Ben Delo has links to organised crime, his father was a jewel thief, and a distant cousin once called Princess Diana a tart

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

C4 didn't make the previous video on the latest Farage/Reform UK funding shenanigans - it was made and produced by Verbatim Investigations, then verified and broadcast by C4.

I wonder what it is about Reform UK/Farage that attracts overseas-based cryptocurrency money launderers...

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

i wonder what it is about crypto billionaires that upsets some people so much

Reform given £72m by two crypto billionaires in record-breaking haul

British cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo said he was making his £36m donation to create "a level playing field" with other parties - and ensure that Reform is given a "fair fight" at the polls in the next general election.

Fellow crypto entrepreneur Christopher Harborne has now decided to match the donation, netting Reform UK £72m in the space of two days.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Quite funny that Harborne didn't want to look less successful than Delo so he matched Delo's £36m.
