Zia Yusuf admits he apologised to Sarah Pochin and Reform UK colleagues after calling burka ban question 'dumb'

Former Reform UK Chairman Zia Yusuf has admitted he "apologised" to Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin and his party colleagues, following his resignation from the party.

In his first exclusive sit down interview since returning to Reform, Yusuf claimed that he "regrets" sending the tweet, admitting he "made a mistake".

Discussing his fallout with the Reform party, Yusuf explained: "I feel very good, it's great to be back. In those 48 hours or so that passed after I sent that tweet, which I now regret, I was inundated with messages, emails, DMs from people who told me how important Reform was to them.

"It's much more than a political party, it is a movement, which frankly, many of these people are putting in their messages, represents the last hope the country has to turn itself around."
