Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf resigns as civil war in party deepens

 

Reform chairman Zia Yusuf has quit after a row with the partyโ€™s newest MP

 

Reform UK have been hit by further chaos after the man brought in by Nigel Farage to professionalise the party quit after a row with their newest MP.

 

Zia Yusuf, a Muslim businessman, had described new Runcorn MP Sarah Pochin as โ€œdumbโ€ after she challenged Keir Starmer over the legality of women wearing the burqa in the UK during PMQs on Wednesday.

 

After fury broke out about his comment Mr Yusuf, who has been a target of anger by many activists over several months, announced he has quit.

 

He said: โ€œ11 months ago I became Chairman of Reform. Iโ€™ve worked full time as a volunteer to take the party from 14 to 30%, quadrupled its membership and delivered historic electoral results.

 

โ€œI no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office.โ€
