Where it stands

Reform UK suspended Dan Jukes and another official after footage showed them discussing foreign donations and Electoral Commission codes, prompting an internal investigation. The latest report says both aides have stepped down and the party has been referred to police and the Electoral Commission; the reports do not say the internal investigation has concluded or that Reform has resolved any resulting disciplinary action.
