It's the morning after the night before in Reform UK HQ. But what happens now? James Orr and the party have released statements to claim that this was a hoax by climate activists. 🤦‍♂️ The issue with that excuse is, they were caught red-handed. A hoax is a fabricated story and as we all witnessed on Channel 4 last night ... they were caught on camera. Notable topics of conversation for the police/Electoral Commission/us include, but are not limited to: James Orr actively chasing a foreign donor and setting up payment for a poll without revealing Reform paid for it. James Orr swanning around Mayfair private member's clubs [but their not the establishment]. James Orr telling someone that they would accept cash the old-fashioned way — in a brown envelope. Dan Jukes boasting that he was going to be the PM's Chief of Staff and offering access to Nigel Farage for money. Dan Jukes organising a middle man in order that Reform could accept foreign donations. Dan Jukes bragging that Reform UK already used family connections from others to circumvent the donations laws. Dan Jukes facilitating a meeting with Nigel Farage after Reform UK received £30,000 in kind with the promise of £500,000 in cash. James Johnson of JL Partners actively encouraging Reform UK to break electoral rules and covering it up. The Times and Telegraph have zero due diligence. Nigel Farge personally accepted the offer of £500,000 from an American donor. I'm sure I've missed some other salient points but if those above are not enough to end Reform UK … I don't know what is. This proves what we've all been saying since day one — corruption. When the Guardian dropped the hammer on the £5M story, the questions we are asking was “What don't we know about? How much is still hidden?”. Now we have been vindicated by this incredible piece of journalistic bravery. This is definitely not the last story on Reform's rampant corruption. It stinks.
