Investigative Assessment:
With Nigel Farage declining to confirm whether Reform UK's £72mn gifts comply with proposed caps, simulation indicates an exposure gap of £60.66M. The party would require substantial restructuring of trusts and mega-donor tranches to avoid mandatory Electoral Commission forfeiture.
