Two senior Reform UK officials, James Orr (head of policy) and Dan Jukes (leadership assistant), have stepped down from their positions pending an internal investigation. Their resignations follow an undercover report by Channel 4 News that alleged the party engaged in improper foreign donation arrangements, with both officials implicated in the claims.

The departures were announced during Reform UK's annual conference in Birmingham, coinciding with efforts by Nigel Farage to advance the party's policy priorities, including border and immigration measures. The investigation adds scrutiny to the party during a period when leadership was seeking to strengthen the party's public standing and electoral trajectory.
