Reform UK official questioned legality of £72m donations before they were made

Undercover footage shows James Orr, then Reform UK's head of policy, questioning the legality of future donations from billionaires Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo under a proposed foreign donors cap, three months before the party received £72m from them. The admission raises questions about the party's compliance with campaign finance rules and the provenance of the funds. The claim is based on an exclusive report by the investigative group Verbatim, with the footage not yet independently verified.
