Reform's Richard Tice welcomes back Zia Yusuf just 48 hours after quitting

Reform UK's deputy leader today said it was 'great news' that Zia Yusuf had returned to the party - just 48 hours after he walked out on his job as chairman. Richard Tice said Mr Yusuf had 'done a brilliant job in growing the party' and suggested he quit because of 'exhaustion' and working for 11 months 'without a day off'. The former banker abruptly U-turned on his decision to quit last night, returning to Reform to lead its plans to cut public spending.
