British police said Wednesday that they have opened a criminal investigation into allegations that anti-immigration party Reform UK broke rules barring foreign donations.
Last week, Channel 4 broadcast an undercover investigation in which two senior Reform UK officials appeared to discuss ways money from an American financier could be channeled through his U.K.-based son to get around the rules.
U.K. electoral law says parties can only accept donations from British voters or U.K.-registered businesses
....
The party suspended Dan Jukes, a longtime adviser to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, and party policy chief James Orr, after the documentary was aired. But Farage denied that there was any breach of electoral law.
The program showed two men purporting to be a U.S. financier and his U.K.-based son discussing with Jukes, in the presence of Farage, how 500,000 pounds ($675,000) could be donated to the party through the son. The “son” was actually a reporter from investigative group Verbatim, and the “father” an actor.
In separate footage, Orr, a Cambridge University theologian, appeared to discuss getting the U.S. donor to pay for opinion polls commissioned by Reform UK.
In a speech to the party’s conference on Friday, Farage insisted Reform UK hadn’t broken any rules or accepted “dodgy money.” He accused “foreign-funded hard-left activists” of being behind what he called “entrapment.” Verbatim is an offshoot of the Center for Climate Reporting, a nonprofit investigative group that says it’s funded by grants and donations.

Lawfare by Government.
In the whole history of U.K. elections, this is the first hint of scandal! S/
Well, of course they did. Can’t have a populist party in ANY country gain traction.
On a related note, here’s a story about future King Charlie accepting £1,000,000 from two of Osama Bin Laden’s half-brothers back in 2013. It was for charitable purposes, dontcha know?
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62366487
See? It’s a big club. Charlie is in it. Farage is not.
Well, the UK coppers have jailed tens of thousands of citizen who criticized gov’mt policies. So, attacking a political opponent is fine.
After all, Zelynskyy did it to his opponents and newspapers for the same reason. The US MSM and DNC did the same with DJTrump.
These are actions of totalitarian outfits, no better than CCP.
What kind of lunatic would commission this as their official portrait?
Looks like he got portraiture advice from Obama!
All those past portraits of UK royalty and he chose that?
Is this a Babylon Bee spoof?
“Prince Charles given €3m in cash in bags by Qatari politician, according to report...
“The cash was handed to the heir to the British throne in a suitcase on one occasion, a holdall on another, as well as in Fortnum & Mason carrier bags, the up-market department store which holds a royal warrant to supply the prince’s household with groceries.”
“The Charity Commission has decided against launching an investigation into the donation of about £2.5m in cash to one of Prince Charles’s charities.
The charities regulator says it has no plans for any intervention following reports of the cash donation from a former Qatari prime minister.
There had been claims cash was handed over in a suitcase and carrier bags.
A senior royal source said that such large cash donations would no longer be accepted.”

Because when one donates to charity, one ALWAYS does so in cash, in suitcases, versus writing a check.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, FOLKS! Just the future King getting a lot of cash in unmarked bills in a suitcase.
But NIGEL FARAGE?
BTW, Tom Bower wrote a good book on Charles - “Rebel Prince”. Let’s just say Harry didn’t fall far from the royal tree....
Meanwhile they are importing millions of islamo nazis barbarians to brutalize and bankrupt the native population.
