Zia Yusuf announces return to Reform UK two days after quitting as chair

Party chair says he will lead a ‘Doge team’ inspired by Elon Musk and Donald Trump

Zia Yusuf has said he will return to Reform UK, just two days after quitting the party.

Yusuf was the rightwing party’s chair but resigned on Thursday after suggesting it was “dumb” of the party’s newest MP to ask the prime minister if he would ban the burqa.
