Reform UK has been reported to the police over allegations it breached political donation rules by having polling paid for by an overseas company. Nigel Farage’s party took funding from a US firm for three polls it commissioned earlier this year costing £32,500, Channel 4 News reported. The purported donors were in fact undercover reporters from investigative group Verbatim posing as an American financier and his UK-based son. The Liberal Democrats have written to the Metropolitan Police and Electoral Commission. Labour also intends to report the matter to the police, it is understood, and the Greens have called for a probe. The Met said it is assessing the reports. Reform, which is holding its party conference in Birmingham, denies any wrongdoing. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.ins
