Farage denies rule breach over undeclared ally support

The Sunday Times has reported that the leader of Reform UK did not record financial support received from a United States‑convicted fraudster. According to the newspaper, the undisclosed contribution came from a man who had previously been sentenced for fraud in the United States, raising questions about compliance with the party’s funding rules and the UK’s political donation regulations.

Party officials have not commented on the allegation, and the Electoral Commission has not confirmed whether an investigation is underway. The incident highlights ongoing scrutiny of political financing in the United Kingdom, where parties are required to declare all donations above a statutory threshold. If the claim is substantiated, Reform UK could face regulatory action and further public scrutiny over its fundraising practices.
