Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Farage Says He 'Wasn't Listening' During Foreign Donor Talks
Caption: Farage Says He 'Wasn't Listening' During Foreign Donor Talks. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he "frankly wasn't listening" during an undercover-recorded conversation about an apparent plan to channel foreign money to his party. Farage and his former chief of staff Dan Jukes were present when it was suggested an American donor could give £500,000 to Reform through his UK-based son. UK electoral law prohibits foreign donations being channelled through a British resident. The proposed donation was never made because the conversation was part of an undercover investigation. Jukes and Reform's former head of policy James Orr have since been removed from their jobs following recordings about party funding. Jukes denies wrongdoing, while Orr says he will cooperate with Reform's investigation. Farage also told the BBC that his family were "begging" him to leave his job amid mounting pressure.
