The probe centers on whether Tice should have referenced a trip to Israel during his June 22 speech addressing UK democracy and Israeli influence.<\/p>\n<p>A Reform source told the Telegraph the investigation was bewildering, noting that Tice <em>was fighting anti-Semitism in Westminster Hall<\/em> when the alleged violation occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Tice took to social media to condemn what he characterized as a politically motivated inquiry. He pointed out that he is being investigated for standing against antisemitism while speaking about democratic principles, describing the situation as absurd.<\/p>\n<p>The Reform deputy leader noted that the complaint was filed by what he described as an antisemitic anti-Israel lobby group. He further highlighted what he called a double standard, claiming the same organization failed to notify the Commissioner about Labour MP <strong>Ayoub Khan<\/strong>, who allegedly did not declare a substantial donation from a pro-Palestine group.<\/p>\n<p>According to the UK Parliament website, Tice properly declared his September visit to Israel on October 19 last year. The trip was funded by a pro-Israel lobby organization. Reform maintains that all appropriate declarations were made in accordance with parliamentary rules.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation adds to mounting scrutiny facing Reform UK from establishment political forces. A Labour Party spokesman suggested the controversies surrounding the party indicate Reform believes normal rules do not apply to them.<\/p>\n<p>Reform UK has characterized the investigation as part of a broader pattern of establishment attempts to undermine the party&#8217;s growing political influence in Britain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/gbnews.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GB News<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reform UK&#8217;s deputy leader Richard Tice is under investigation for allegedly failing to declare an Israel trip during an antisemitism debate, which the party calls politically motivated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":13431,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[279,10862,15,10113,48],"nfg_topic":[134],"class_list":["post-13432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-israel","tag-parliamentary-standards","tag-reform-uk","tag-richard-tice","tag-united-kingdom","nfg_topic-europe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13432"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13451,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13432\/revisions\/13451"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13432"},{"taxonomy":"nfg_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nfg_topic?post=13432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
