How Damaging Is Reform's Donations Row?

Episode in Newscast
Today, we look at how much damage the Reform donations report will do to the party. Nigel Farage has said he "frankly wasn't listening" during the conversation with his former chief of staff and an undercover reporter discussing what appears to have been a scheme to funnel foreign money to Reform UK. The row has overshadowed the party’s conference in Birmingham, where Laura, Chris, and Joe got together to discuss Farage’s response. They also look at whether cultural issues are partly to blame for controversies for the party to do with money. And we look at the policies coming from the event.

The Undercover Reform Donations Investigation

Episode in Newscast
Today, two senior officials have stood down from Reform UK after a Channel 4 News report prompts the party to investigate claims about funding. Nigel Farage's senior aide Dan Jukes and Reform's head of policy James Orr have both stood down pending the outcome of the internal probe. The undercover filming was done by Verbatim Investigations and broadcast by Channel 4 News. Reform UK has denied wrongdoing and Nigel Farage describes the operation as entrapment. The footage appears to show an attempt to secure funding from someone they believed to be a foreign donor. Electoral law prohibits UK political parties from receiving financial contributions from people who can't vote here. Reform denies any wrongdoing and says it has "been the target of a hoax perpetuated by foreign-funded climate change activists". Adam and Chris discuss.

How Did Andy Burnham Do In First PMQs?

Episode in Newscast
Today, Andy Burnham faced his first PMQs, and Nigel Farage has told Chris the UK is a "complainants' society" after questions about Reform’s funding. Adam and Chris unpack Chris’ first interview with Nigel Farage after he returned to parliament as the re-elected MP for Clacton on Tuesday. They discuss his response to continuing questions about the £5m he received from a crypto billionaire before becoming an MP, plus whether Andy Burnham’s premiership is a threat to Reform. Farage has said the £5m was a personal gift and did not therefore require registration under the rules. And Andy Burnham has faced Kemi Badenoch in his debut appearance at PMQs. Does the new Prime Minister seem like a breath of fresh air, or is it already a return to politics as usual? You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

Today, we look at the five days that followed the 2010 General Election. David Cameron’s Conservative party had won the most seats but not an overall majority. Through deals and bargaining, he would have to form a coalition government. But how did it happen? The BBC's Gary O’Donaghue and Carole Walker, who was at the BBC at the time but is now at Times Radio, take us through what they saw first hand. This is the second of two episodes on the coalition talks and it is part of our Summer series of Old Newscasts focussing on pivotal electoral moments from 1997-2016.
