The Reform chairman and mastermind of their DOGE copy has decided that Reform is a waste of his time.
Zia Yusuf has helped transform Reform UK Party Ltd in the 11 months that he has been chairman. It used to be an islamophobic fan club for Farage to rant about the only issue they can remember – brown people in boats. With Yuzuf’s endeavours they have increased the number of MPs, councillors and members.
Unfortunately one of their new MPs, highlighted the party’s continuing obsession with Muslims. Despite Reform UK Party Ltd not having any policy or position relating to the wearing of burkas, Sarah Pochin decided to ask Keir Starmer if he support banning the burka during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday. Presumably the point of her question was to loudly remind everyone that Reform UK Party Ltd was still islamophobic at heart.
Yusuf commented, “Nothing to do with me. Had no idea about the question nor that it wasn’t policy. Busy with other stuff. I do think it’s dumb for a party to ask the PM if they would do something the party itself wouldn’t do.”
He has decided, “I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office.”
