I also think the two Reform senior aides were pretty careless and, of course, completely willing to do this without thinking.

Farage was very careful about what he would openly say in the meeting. The reporters asked about the donation that was being planned (which would be illegal) and he didn't go 'we'll get away with it' and just moved on.
He said he’d have to pass any proposals through his legal team. That’s what he does, and it’s why he has been able to have all these investigations find that he’s done nothing wrong.

They want to be seen to be dealing with this robustly to avoid allegations of a cover-up - the kind of thing that other parties get accused of on a regular basis.

Funny how people prefer to prattle on about the smears rather than the policies. You wouldn’t believe there’s a Reform UK Conference going on, would you?
