What is the latest finance scandal facing Reform UK?
Nigel Farage’s party has been referred to the police by Labour and the Lib Dems for potential breaches of the law UK politics live – latest updatesNigel Farage is facing yet another finance scandal following an undercover investigation into how the party is funded. The potential wrongdoing – denied by the party – appears serious enough to have been immediately referred to the police by Labour and the Liberal Democrats. These are the main legal issues for Reform and what any investigation will ha

Nigel Farage meeting a 'shadowy foreign donor'? It can only be another establishment stitch-up | Marina Hyde
The only thing more dodgy than Reform’s financial dealings is the egregious lunchtime combination of oysters, Guinness and champagneHow many sarcastic air quotes is too many for quoting Nigel Farage’s suggestion that Reform have been ““““““““hoaxed”””””””” by some undercover investigators into appearing to seek to get round electoral law to bag a £500k donation from a foreigner, as well as commissioning off-the-books polling and failing to identify it to newspapers? I don’t feel eight was too ma

Andy Burnham presents his new government as more leftwing. In reality, it’s barely moved at all | Owen Jones
The prime minister talks the talk about reversing decades of privatisation and austerity, but we’re yet to see any policies to this endIf Starmerism sought to present the Labour government as more rightwing than it is, Burnhamism seeks to do the opposite.The change in rhetoric is certainly stark. Unlike his sulking predecessor, the new prime minister offers both an analysis and a vision. British stagnation and decline, Andy Burnham correctly told the House of Commons, can be explained by a serie

Digested week: Tom Tugendhat is a serious politician. What’s he doing in a Reform-lite Tory frontbench? | John Crace
Want to see how small the gene pool of Tory talent is? I give you Andrew Griffith as shadow chancellor. Also this week: Starmer’s Fomo, and telly warsIt’s the end of summer and Kemi Badenoch chose to mark the occasion with a reshuffle of her shadow cabinet. Her aim is apparently to get the Tories match fit in case Andy Burnham calls an early general election, but the vibes are much more rearranging the deckchairs on a sinking ship. After all, when the gene pool of talent is that small, there’s n

Drones, teargas, riot squads: why has the UK gone to war against asylum seekers already fleeing conflict? | Diane Taylor
Burnham and Macron have committed to going further in the crackdown on French beaches. But little is being done to offer refugees safe alternative routesGarang*, 18, is one of thousands of refugees recently caught in the crossfire of French riot police, who threw teargas and beat them with batons when they boarded dinghies to travel to the UK. He is a victim of a war in his home of South Sudan – and one being fought on France’s northern shores.He borrows a phone from anyone with credit who will

Britain’s schools are failing its young people – and 1m Neets are paying the price | Simon Jenkins
Obsessed with exams, devoid of vocational training: there is a total mismatch between schools and life beyond their gatesBlame the schools. Alan Milburn’s report on Neets, published in May, was one of the most damning comments on the welfare state I have read. It described a new generation of a million mostly poor Britons now encouraged to fare worse, not better, than their parents. This means, said Milburn, that “the great British promise” – the advance of generations – is being broken. A sizea

‘Capitalism is dying’: in Luton, these former car workers have a moral tale for our times | Aditya Chakrabortty
Abandoned by the company they worked for, let down by Labour and their unions – now they watch their friends turn to Reform for answersAfter everything, why would anyone still back Nigel Farage? In some of the comments below my piece last week about Reform UK, I spot the usual answers: Farage’s supporters are dim, racist, deplorable. Yet away from Westminster and the news cycle, Reform voters are being manufactured – not with headlines or crypto funds but through the failure of institutions they

Unlike Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham promises us that things will get better. And we must believe they can | Polly Toynbee
The PM’s warmth and feelgood policies, such as scrapping VAT on energy bills and a taskforce looking at political donations, offer something rare: hopeOf all the epithets thrown at a new prime minister, “people-pleaser” bounces off Andy Burnham. After all, the polls have him with a favourability rating of +13, making him the only party leader who scores above zero. His manner as he responded to all 125 of his questioners on his first Commons appearance this week had a warmth and empathy that his
