THE elections watchdog has contacted the police after secretly recorded video appeared to show some of Nigel Farage’s closest aides conspiring to break the law.

Reform UK head of policy James Orr and long-serving Farage aide Dan Jukes both stepped down following allegations they knowingly breached political donation rules by having polling paid for by an overseas company.
