Zia Yusuf, chairman of Reform UK, has stepped down from his position, a decision influenced by his growing disengagement, particularly following a parliamentary question concerning a burqa ban by Sara Pochin. Nigel Farage, who had a close working relationship with Yusuf over the past 11 months, noted that Yusuf's talent in data management and technical matters was exceptional. Farage highlighted the demanding nature of political life and speculated that Yusuf is likely leaving politics permanently, reflecting the challenges involved in maintaining such a high-pressure role.
I was given a 10-minute warning that it was going to come. He did seem very, very disengaged.
For 11 months, we've been pretty much inseparable. He's brilliant when it comes to data.
Political life is hard, it's 100 hours a week. It is totally unrelenting.
I suspect he is walking away from the whole political game, I suspect never to return.
