Zia Yusuf Resigns as Reform Chairman

Yusuf has resigned. He says on X:

“11 months ago I became Chairman of Reform. I’ve worked full time as a volunteer to take the party from 14 to 30%, quadrupled its membership and delivered historic electoral results.   I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office.”

A big moment for Reform…

UPDATE: Farage says:

“I am genuinely sorry that Zia Yusuf has decided to stand down as Reform UK Chairman.

As I said just last week, he was a huge factor in our success on May 1st and is an enormously talented person.

Politics can be a highly pressured and difficult game and Zia has clearly had enough. He is a loss to us and public life.”

UPDATE II: A Tory source tells Guido:

“Nigel Farage tells us he wants to run the country, he can’t even run a party small enough to fit in a Nissan Micra. Will the last person in Reform UK who isn’t Farage please turn out the lights?”
