Reform UK has investigated a sting scam by journalists who were pretending to offer foreign donations to officers whose job didn’t include dealing with dosh. The conclusion is that no laws were broken, no donations were made by the scammers and nothing was offered to the party’s finance team.
The police are still dragging out their investigation.
