Undercover footage has revealed that a close aide to Nigel Farage admitted the Reform UK leader did not follow his party's press office advice when he described a £5m gift from a crypto-billionaire as a 'thank you for Brexit', raising fresh questions about Farage's statements that the money was solely for security purposes.

Reform UK has suspended activist Jason Powell after undercover footage obtained by ITV News showed him saying asylum seekers should be held in 'concentration camps' and that 'you cannot be a Muslim and British'. The party is also investigating two London councillors filmed advocating the execution of grooming gang members, as a third councillor resigned following racist comments uncovered by the same investigation.
A former Reform UK politician has compared her former party's response to criticism to that of an abuser in a domestic abuse relationship, amid fresh allegations of sexism and misogyny. Sarah Cooper-Lesadd, who left Reform UK for Plaid Cymru last month, said she was not surprised by the claims and had personal experience of such behaviour.
