🇬🇧 Reform called it a hoax. Now they're "fully cooperating" with police.

Initial response to the Channel 4 footage: a hoax by climate activists. Now, with a formal Met Police investigation confirmed, Reform says it will fully cooperate. Two officials have stepped back. Farage still claims entrapment.

That's a real shift in tone. Worth watching why.

🇬🇧 The NHS waiting list just went up again. Here's what was promised.

7.33 million treatments waiting as of July, the highest in 9 months. Over-a-year waits rose too, missing the government's own under-1% target. Nearly 3,000 patients a day now receiving corridor care.

NHS England points to a record-busy summer. Fair context, but the target was still missed.

🇬🇧 The police are now officially investigating Reform.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed this week that Channel 4's undercover footage has been added to an ongoing criminal investigation. Detectives say there are "potential offences requiring investigation." This follows a separate Electoral Commission probe and past questions over Cottrell family donations.

Farage denies any wrongdoing.

🇬🇧 Burnham called his own policy "relatively small." Here's the scale of the problem it's meant to fix.

Prices up 30% since 2021. 88% of the public say cost of living is the top issue facing Britain, ahead of the NHS. Burnham's response so far: VAT off electricity, a £2 bus fare cap, and an honest admission it's only "breathing space."

Is that enough?

🇬🇧 A former elections chief says Reform may have committed criminal
offences.

Undercover footage showed Reform officials arranging secret US funding
for party-commissioned polls. Two aides have resigned. Bob Posner,
former Electoral Commission chief, says there should be a criminal
investigation. Labour has written to police.

Farage denies any wrongdoing.

🇬🇧 The £9 million question Farage won't answer.

Reform's largest ever single donation, £9m from a crypto billionaire,
is now under Electoral Commission scrutiny. Labour and the Lib Dems
want answers. Farage claimed the party takes crypto donations, but
Reform won't say which ones were actually crypto.

Follow UK Report. We're tracking whether Reform ever answers this.

🇬🇧 BURNHAM'S OWN ALLY JUST COMPARED HIM TO LIZ TRUSS

Lord Jim O'Neill, who advised Burnham's campaign and turned down a government role, said gilt yields jumping 0.25% after Burnham's first Commons statement was something "we've not had since Liz Truss days."

That's not an opposition attack. That's his own camp.

Follow UK Report. We're watching whether this becomes a pattern.

🇬🇧 HEALEY RESIGNED OVER THIS DEFENCE TARGET. NOW HE'S DELAYED IT HIMSELF.

He quit as Defence Secretary when Starmer wouldn't commit to 3% of GDP on defence by 2030. Now, as Chancellor, Healey has delayed that same target. He says he's "100% committed" and denies hypocrisy.

What changed?

Follow UK Report. We're tracking whether the target ever gets met.

🇬🇧 UK BORROWING COSTS JUST HIT A 28-YEAR HIGH

30-year gilt yields: 5.89%, highest since 1998. 10-year yields: 5.22%,
highest since the 2008 financial crisis. It costs Burnham and Healey
far more to borrow now, right before next month's Budget.

🇬🇧 BURNHAM'S FIRST PMQS: EASY RIDE, OR CALM BEFORE THE STORM?

Marathon 125-question session one day. First PMQs the next. Badenoch
pushed hardest on funding promises as borrowing costs spiral. Burnham
avoided attacking Reform UK directly, worth watching why.

Follow UK Report. We're tracking whether this calm start lasts.
