Lib Dems Challenge Farage

The Liberal Democrats have put Nigel Farage on the spot, demanding transparency about Reform UK's funding after the party splurged over £2 million on tailored letters to voters. Daisy Cooper raised concerns about potential donations from affluent overseas backers, especially those tied to Russia. In response, Reform UK insists their funds stem from small donations and membership fees, boasting a larger membership than the Lib Dems.

Haidar slammed the Conservatives while expressing faith in Farage's vision for tax reform. As Reform UK draws affluent supporters, the Conservatives assert they are still outpacing rivals in fundraising despite recent setbacks.
