Newscast · The Undercover Reform Investigation · 4 Sep 2026 podcast

Lee Anderson, the chairman of the party, suggesting not.

Richard Tysh, the deputy leader of the party, saying, well, hang on a minute, let there be uh an investigation.

And they are making an argument that says that these undercover.

were journalists, were left wing climate uh activists and that there was a entrapment as they see it going on in the techniques that they used to gather this material.

Exactly.

So there's two strands to the polling uh element of this story.

So the money involved is much less than the uh suggested half a million pound donation, albeit it was money that was actually paid, as opposed to a donation that never actually uh happened.

So there's a money uh element to it, and therefore the potential need for a declaration and for that money to be from a uh permissible.

Uh source.

The other thing is that reform the what came across in the film was a suggestion that reform felt it would be more useful to them if this polling didn't have their fingerprints on it.

Now they didn't pay for it reform, it was paid for by this uh supposed uh donor.

So there's then questions, if you like, ethical questions around uh the transparency of.

of where this poll originally came from.

Well, so a couple of things.

You know, let's see how Nigel Farage and the party choose to react in the coming days.

I think that's going to be key.

To what extent do they feel that they can uh move on?

It seems inevitable that there's gonna be a whole slew of questions for Nigel Farage around all of this.

And then, as you say, what do kind of crucial agencies in the arc of this story, if you like, have to say and what do they do next?

Next, not least the Electoral Commission and the Metropolitan Police, both of whom, as you say, they've put out statements, but they're relatively holding position statements.
