Reform party suspends officials after undercover investigation into donations

Nigel Farage has suspended two senior Reform officials during the party's conference. The two men, Dan Jukes and James Orr, were removed from their roles after an undercover investigation by reporters. The investigation suggested they were involved in a plan to break the law on political donations. Both men have been reported to the police. Donations law exists to keep elections fair, and breaking it can lead to criminal charges. The suspensions have caused serious problems inside the party. Some members have resigned because of the scandal. Orr was the party's head of policy, so his suspension leaves an important role empty. The incident has damaged trust in Reform at a moment when the party was trying to show its strength publicly.
