Nigel Farage's Brexit Party has been told to check all £2.5 million donated to it to ensure it hasn't accepted cash from foreign donors.

The Party will be required to satisfy itself that every single £25 'supporter' fee was not from an impermissible source.

If they can't, they'll have to either return it to the donor or hand it over to the Treasury.

The Electoral Commission last week confirmed the party’s online payment system put them at ‘high and ongoing risk’ of allowing overseas cash to be donated.
