Author: The Telegraph September 4, 2026 Duration: 24:41

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are at Reform UK’s party conference for Day Two, which was overshadowed by a Channel 4 investigation which exposed claims the party breached political donation rules and allegedly had polling paid for by an overseas company. Camilla and Tim dissect whether the claims will impact Reform’s core support, and whether Nigel Farage can survive yet another scandal as leader of the party.
