- London's Metropolitan Police opened a criminal investigation after a Channel 4 undercover report alleged Reform UK arranged for a US company to fund political polls — potentially breaching bans on foreign donations.
- The sting showed party aides organizing paid polls that national papers treated as independent and arranging a meeting with leader Nigel Farage about a larger US donation; two senior aides have since stepped down.
- Reform denies wrongdoing and will cooperate, but the probe will merge with an earlier investigation into an undisclosed £5m donation from a Thai billionaire, increasing pressure on Farage.
