According to The Guardian, Britain's Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is calling on Nigel Farage to be more transparent about donations and gifts. Labour has asked the Electoral Commission to investigate whether Farage failed to properly disclose gifts—potentially breaking electoral law. The investigation centers on gifts from George Cottrell. Badenoch also expressed alarm at Farage's hints about press regulation, saying she's never supported curbing free press despite the criticism she's faced, and warning that a Reform government using state power to control media would be deeply troubling.
