""I'm delighted to welcome James Orr to Reform UK," Yusuf wrote. "James is a brilliant academic, theologian, thinker. He has been a bastion of common sense and patriotism at Cambridge University. He has become a close friend and is someone who I believe will have a pivotal role in shaping the future of this country. "James is now a senior member of our team, a senior advisor to Nigel Farage and will bring even more talented patriots to the Reform family.""
"During a 2023 interview with the Coalition for Marriage, an organisation that supports and promotes "traditional marriage" and "real marriage" which they say is solely between a man and a woman, Orr said equal marriage had "very important downstream ramifications". To address these concerns, he suggested emphasising "the public good resulting from real marriage". And talking to The European Conservative, he described asylum seekers as "invaders", adding that the long-term effects of migration was "making it impossible for us to use the first-person pronoun... it is becoming impossible to say: 'We, the people'.""
