Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.
Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.
You can watch the full investigation here: youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI
Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.
Environmental campaigners and the local water company United Utilities have come up with a plan to build a huge sewage tunnel at Lake Windermere coming at a cost of more than £3.6 billion.
The plan is not yet approved but there are two proposals to fund the project: either taxpayers or United Utilities customers in the north west pay.
Lake Windermere is England’s largest natural lake and a UNESCO World Heritage site but has also been at the epicentre of the arguments over sewage.
We spoke with the CEO of United Utilities Louise Beardmore.

Protesters in Indonesia have clashed with police during demonstrations against the government’s handling of toxic haze that has blanketed parts of the country for months.

Criminals who refuse to attend their sentencing could lose prison privileges under new rules giving wider powers to judges in England and Wales.

Officials in the South Korean city of Busan are looking for a new way to free a huge shark that's spent more than a month in a narrow canal there.

Escalating attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels have prompted the US to order some of its diplomatic staff to leave Saudi Arabia.
The latest attack killed two people - a Saudi citizen and an Indian national - at the King Fahd International Airport in the eastern city of Dammam last night.
Eight others were injured.
Why are Gen Z protesters out on the streets across the world?
France has just been rocked by some of its worst rioting in modern history.
Thousands have been arrested, young people locked down under curfew and buildings set on fire.
President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence and said rioters would be brought to justice.
But this extends beyond France. In Belgium, students are on the streets primarily over education. In Spain and Portugal though, housing’s the trigger. And in Italy, it’s the cost of living.
It’s even spread as far as Albania - where months of demonstrations turned violent in recent days.
Outside of Europe, Morocco, Madagascar and Indonesia have all seen youth-led protests in the past 12 months.
And India’s ‘cockroach’ movement of Gen Z protesters has swarmed the country demanding resignations.
