REFORM was plunged into a chaotic civil war last night after its chairman Zia Yusuf announced he’s quitting the party.
Mr Yusuf announced on social media that after 11 months in the job “I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time”.

Insiders said that the chairman had felt “shafted” into running the party’s DOGE efficiency unit, aimed at slashing waste in local authorities.
He also earlier on Thursday clashed with Reform’s newest MP, Sarah Pochin, over the idea of a burqa ban.
Mr Yusuf said: “Eleven months ago I became Chairman of Reform.
“I’ve worked full time as a volunteer to take the party from 14 to 30 per cent, quadrupled its membership and delivered historic electoral results.
“I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office.”
Mr Yusuf was seen as a rising star in the party and close ally of Nigel Farage.
While not an MP, the entrepreneur fronted several of the parties press conferences.
He worked as chairman in a voluntary capacity.
