Danny Kruger, a Reform UK MP known for opposing foreign influence in British politics, faced accusations of hypocrisy after accepting a paid trip to Italy organized by the Dutch rightwing think tank Center for European Renewal (CER). The CER, linked to Hungary's former far-right government under Viktor Orbán, covered £724.24 in expenses for Kruger's two-day visit. Kruger previously criticized 'foreign interference' in a by-election, claiming Asian voters were influenced by Pakistani religious leaders. However, a police investigation found no evidence of such interference. Kruger later proposed controversial electoral reforms, including restricting voting rights for non-British Commonwealth citizens. The CER is connected to the rightwing European Conservative magazine, which was historically funded by the Hungarian government.
