Measured timeline

📍 How it ended

The Reform Party suspended several senior officials after an undercover sting raised foreign‑funding allegations, and senior aides stepped down amid a broader donations scandal that also prompted an industry body to cite clear breaches by the party’s pollster and a Cambridge University inquiry into a suspended academic. The controversy dominated coverage, eclipsing the party’s policy agenda and sparking fresh funding allegations, but no definitive resolution emerged before the coverage waned.
