The Daily Telegraph reports that Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, is facing police scrutiny over allegations of violating campaign spending regulations. According to the paper, Richard Everett, a former Reform councillor who aided Farage in his successful bid for a seat in Clacton, Essex, has filed documents with the police. These documents allegedly indicate that Reform UK came precariously close to exceeding the legal spending limit of just over £20,000.
Everett claims that the reported figure does not account for various essential costs, including leaflets, utility bills, and the refurbishment of a bar used as a campaign office. He believes Farage was unaware of these omissions. However, the Telegraph warns that should these claims be substantiated, both Farage and his election agent could face personal liability.
In response to the allegations, Reform UK has dismissed Everett's claims, labeling him a disgruntled former councillor and asserting that no laws have been breached.
