How Damaging Is Reform's Donations Row?
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the Reform donations report on the party and features analysis of Nigel Farage's response and related controversies.
Today, we look at how much damage the Reform donations report will do to the party. Nigel Farage has said he "frankly wasn't listening" during the conversation with his former chief of staff and an undercover reporter discussing what appears to have been a scheme to funnel foreign money to Reform UK. The row has overshadowed the party’s conference in Birmingham, where Laura, Chris, and Joe got together to discuss Farage’s response. They also look at whether cultural issues are partly to blame for controversies for the party to do with money. And we look at the policies coming from the event.
