Politics Question Time Reform UK
Reform UK chair Zia Yusuf was asked to be specific on Question Time and his answer neatly distilled the essence of the party in one minute flat
To Question Time now – no, stick with us – where Reform UK chair Zia Yusuf, the former banker who donated £200k to Nigel Farage’s party, was among the panellists.
And we mention him not just because we’re pretty sure we’ve never written about him before but because of this particular answer which neatly distilled the essence of Farage’s party in one minute flat.
Populism, facts & ACTUAL detail, clearly don’t mix.
The facial expression before laying into the Beeb says it all.

Not so much what he said – well, it was – but how he said it.
How dare you ask me about our policy?

If he had anything of value to say, that was his chance to say it and he bottled it.

Hey @reformparty_uk I thought you said this Zia fella was good. What a petulant, shitty response to a perfectly reasonable question. #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/lU6jAhiBMG

So, the audience is representative of Reform’s vote. The Reform perspective, however, has been VASTLY over represented on this programme for years. The sheer number of times Farage alone has been on is shocking, never mind the Tufton Street crowd.

Yes another spoilt, narcissistic little rich boy who’s not used to people questioning him. It’s all Reform has.

To conclude …
Reform representative on Question Time appears to be shocked at being asked a question.
Did nobody tell him? Couldn't he guess from the name?#bbcqt pic.twitter.com/rUybnDXSdI
