Farage expects more investigations as he prepares to close Reform conference

Nigel Farage said he expected to face more investigations after the Reform UK conference was overshadowed by a row about party finances.Speaking on the final day of the Reform conference in Birmingham, Mr Farage again insisted his party had broken no laws after a report by Channel 4 News showed senior Reform figures discussing how to disguise donations from foreign sources.Accepting donations from a foreign company, including donations in kind such as polling, could constitute a criminal offence, and the party has been reported to the police.Mr Farage told ITV he was certain Reform had accepted no illicit donations and dismissed claims by one of his long-term aides, Dan Jukes, that the party had previously concealed the origin of some donations as “loose pub talk”.The Reform leader, who is already facing scrutiny over his failure to declare a £5 million gift from a party donor, said investigations “will go on”.He said: “You come back and see me in six months, there’ll be five more investigations. It won’t end.”My favourite part about party conference is meeting our fantastic members. 🇬🇧 pic.twitter.com/6aVhXSrT0g— Nigel Farage (@Nigel_Farage) September 5, 2026Blaming the establishment for the scrutiny, he added: “They are not going to give us a free ride. They will do anything they can. I expect many more investigations over the course of the next few months, I have no doubt about it.”But speaking to GB News, he acknowledged that there would be “some people in the middle out there who aren’t quite sure (about Reform), that would be worried by some of these allegations”.The row over the Channel 4 report has overshadowed Reform’s annual conference, which had been billed as setting out the party’s plans for its first 100 days in office.The footage was part of an investigation by undercover group Verbatim, who posed as an American donor and his son who had paid for polling allegedly commissioned by Reform and were seeking to channel money to Reform.The Liberal Democrats
