Parteitag von Reform UK: Britische Rechtspopulisten unter Druck

In the United Kingdom on 4 September 2026, Reform UK held its party conference while facing a new donations affair. Two Reform UK officials, described as advisers to leader Nigel Farage, stepped down after an undercover sting over foreign funding and allegations of an electoral law breach. The party said it had 'nipped this in the bud' and that 'those involved have left'.

Farage was defiant and said 'We will not be distracted', as he set out preparations for the 2027 general election. An industry body said there were 'clear' breaches of rules by a Reform UK pollster, and Cambridge University examined the conduct of an academic suspended by Reform UK. Protests took place at the conference, and French politician Jordan Bardella gave a speech there.
