Have Reform lost the plot?

Voice of the UK

Available for over a year

Zia Yusuf has resigned as the chairman of Reform UK, saying working to get the party elected was no longer "a good use of my time". It comes after he’d said it was "dumb" for the party's newest MP to call on Sir Keir Starmer to ban the burka. Reform leader Nigel Farage said he was "genuinely sorry" Yusuf was resigning, describing him as "enormously talented". Labour questioned Reform party discipline, saying "If Nigel Farage can't manage a handful of politicians, how on earth could he run a country?” Nicky Campbell asked 5 Live listeners whether they think Reform have lost the plot?
