Robert Jenrick has told Times Radio that two senior Reform aides have been “permanently suspended” from their roles.
This comes after undercover journalism appeared to show James Orr and Dan Jukes discussing how to disguise foreign donations.
Jenrick confirmed to Times Radio at the Reform party conference that an investigation will be carried out into their conduct, and stated that the pair have been “permanently suspended”.
Jenrick added that party leader Nigel Farage had “acted very swiftly” after seeing the footage, and described some of Orr and Jukes’ comments as “very disappointing and inappropriate”.
When pushed for clarity on exactly what action has been taken against Orr and Jukes, Jenrick said: “Well, they have left the conference. They’ve been suspended from their roles.”
