  1. As Parliament returns, so does Sunday with Laura Kunessberg

    Welcome back from Parliament's summer recess with the return of Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

    In the hot seat is Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who's appearing after his party wrapped up its annual conference in Birmingham yesterday.

    The event was overshadowed by the departures of two senior Reform staffers, after undercover filming by Verbatim Investigations broadcast by Channel 4 News showed a senior aide to Farage apparently suggesting a way to evade UK electoral laws governing foreign donations.

    Former chief of staff Dan Jukes has denied wrongdoing and ex-head of policy James Orr says he will co-operate fully with an internal investigation. Reform UK claims to have "been the target of a hoax perpetuated by foreign funded climate change activists".

    Farage denies Reform has broken any laws - and in an interview with Kuenssberg, he says: "I am not a compliance officer. I was in the middle of canvassing in the Clacton by-election. I turn up. I frankly wasn't even listening."

    You can read more about the investigation - and the questions it's raising for the party - over here, and we'll have more from his interview later on in the show.
