午餐、民调与50万英镑计划：让法拉奇失去核心圈子的暗访
原语言视频
译自英文原文。
震动改革英国党的两天
法拉奇当时在场
他们不可能回归。奈杰尔哪儿也不会去。
未知
- 目前尚未认定该党接受过任何不合规捐款，也未认定法拉奇知晓相关计划。
后续
- 伦敦警察厅是否会将评估转为正式调查，并将范围扩大到这两名助手之外。
根据迄今为止的证据，结论很直白：镜头前，改革英国党的核心人物听起来愿意接受外国资金并加以隐瞒。这究竟是犯罪意图，还是如法拉奇所说，只是对一位所谓富有捐款人的酒馆空口吹嘘，如今已是警方需要回答的问题，而不是由一个自己给自己打分的党内调查来判断。在伦敦警察厅作出决定之前，改革英国党将背负着一个它最承受不起的标签迈入势头正盛的时刻——推动其崛起的资金可能根本不是来自英国。

播出原貌
- Reform UK's head of policy and Farage's senior aide are out over a foreign donations sting.
- The party's leader was at the lunch where the scheme was allegedly discussed, and the allegations could amount to breaking electoral law.
- The question now: will police turn this into a formal investigation — and could it reach Farage personally?
- The resignations came after an undercover investigation was broadcast on the evening of September 3rd. The next morning, Reform UK's chairman announced on television that James Orr and Dan Jukes would not return, and a full internal investigation begins today.
- The conference was just beginning, and the announcements landed on its first day.
- The footage captured two men discussing ways to move money into the party that would skirt the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, which bars foreign individuals and companies from donating to UK parties. Two methods were discussed.
- The first route treated the polling as a benefit in kind. The second used a UK citizen as a front.
- Under the law, funding that helps a party meet a cost, including polling, can count as a donation. An impermissible donation over £500 must be reported and returned within 30 days. The polling payments were not reported to the Electoral Commission, and the findings ran in national newspapers without disclosing who paid.
- Nigel Farage was present at the lunch where the scheme was discussed. He was filmed praising the polling as 'amazing,' saying it 'worked. Boom' and 'it's all above board.' Confronted afterward, he said he 'frankly wasn't even listening,' called the aides' comments 'injudicious' and 'loose pub talk,' and insisted the party took no illegal money.
- Later, he dismissed the conversation as loose pub talk, but the party's opponents are not convinced.
- The party chairman told television there was 'no chance' the two would return and 'Nigel is going nowhere.'
- Anderson has ruled out their return and stood by the leader.
- Labour and the Liberal Democrats reported the allegations to the Metropolitan Police. As of September 5th, the Met said it was assessing the material and had not opened a formal investigation. The Electoral Commission said it was considering all relevant information and was in touch with the Met, but noted that information about any potential attempt to evade donation controls is for the police to consider.
- For now, the Met is assessing, the Electoral Commission is considering, and Reform maintains its denial.
- Both men deny wrongdoing. Jukes called the operation 'entrapment' by 'foreign-funded climate change activists.' Orr said he would co-operate with the party's investigation.
- The outcome now hinges on whether the Met turns its assessment into a formal investigation and whether the Electoral Commission's remit reaches the polling payments. With the conference still running, the leadership has given no indication the two will face anything beyond the internal inquiry.
