## Summary

Nigel Farage has faced questions over Reform UK's handling of donations after a fresh row over party funding threatened to overshadow policy announcements made at its Birmingham conference. Farage insisted the party would have "sent money back" to donors whose contributions had come under scrutiny, but the episode raises questions about trust and transparency ahead of the next general election, as Reform continues to position itself as a major electoral force.

The Daily Mail has launched its Morning Poll asking readers whether they still trust the Reform UK leader in light of the controversy, with results due to be published in the following day's Morning Mail newsletter. The article itself is a short prompt inviting reader participation rather than a detailed news report on the donations row.
