00:00I think these are very serious revelations from what I can see, and that's why the Labour Party
00:06has asked the police to investigate them, because we have very tough electoral laws in this country,
00:12rightly so, so that people can have trust in politicians and trust in democracy. And our
00:18electoral law is really clear that you shouldn't, nor should you take money from a third person on
00:23behalf of somebody else, but nor should you even ask for that or try and facilitate that. So I
00:29think this is a clear breach of electoral from what I have seen in the footage in this film,
00:34but it's actually part of a pattern of behaviour here from Reform UK. They're already under police
00:40investigation for a very similar allegation a few weeks ago, and Nigel Farage himself is under a very
00:47serious parliamentary investigation for accepting a £5 million donation, which he didn't declare.
00:53So either Reform think they're above the law or that the rules don't apply to them,
00:59but either way I think they really need to be investigated here and held to account and have
01:06the rule of law apply to them in the same way that it was to us.
