Two aides
suspended over donations allegations have 'no chance of coming back', says
Reform UK's chair Lee Anderson
Lee
Anderson, the Reform UK chief whip and party chair, has said that James Orr and
Dan Jukes – the two aides primarily involved in the apparent plot exposed by an
undercover investigation to evade electoral law – were suspended and won’t be
coming back.
In an
interview on Sky News this morning, Anderson said:
[Orr and
Jukes] were told they had to step down. They have stepped down. And that’s got
to be the right thing to do.
The
presenter, Kamali Melbourne, put it to Anderson that Orr, head of policy at the
party, and Jukes, a key aide to Nigel Farage, were both very important figures
in the party and asked if there was any chance they could “come back”. Anderson
replied:
No,
there’s no chance of them coming back. They’ve stepped aside.
We’re a
serious party, you know, and sometimes in politics, you have to make tough
decisions, harsh decisions. I think this probably was an easier decision, being
given the option to stand down.
They have
gone. Like I said, they’ve left the building and our focus now is on the
conference today.
