An internal investigation by Reform UK has said the party did not breach electoral law when senior officials were recorded by an undercover journalist discussing a potential way to secure foreign donations to the party.

Nigel Farage's senior aide Dan Jukes and Reform's head of policy James Orr both stood down pending the outcome of the inquiry.

The investigation concluded that neither of the men did anything that constitutes a breach of the law.

The Metropolitan Police is carrying out a separate criminal investigation into Reform UK, over allegations it broke foreign funding laws.

It came after undercover filming, carried out by Verbatim Investigations and broadcast by Channel 4 News, showed the two aides apparently suggesting a way around electoral law to secure foreign party donations, one of which would have totalled £500,000.

It is understood Reform UK will wait until the conclusion of the police investigation before deciding the futures of Jukes and Orr.
