Zia Yusuf’s resignation and u-turn aren’t the only things causing division in Reform UK this week.

We can reveal a key parliamentary staffer has a history as a Tommy Robinson fanboy, directly contradicting his boss’s public stance.

When Reform MP Lee Anderson was asked on GB News if Lennon, the anti-Muslim extremist and serial criminal, would be allowed to join the party, he declared: “I wouldn’t welcome him into Reform UK.”

But despite Anderson’s keenness to distance Reform from the far right extremist, his Head of Office Ethan Thoburn was once a keen fan of Lennon, regularly posting about him on a now deleted X/Twitter account.

In 2017 Thoburn retweeted Lennon 91 times and promoted posts supporting him, including one which simply read: “I support Tommy Robinson.” He also claimed to have "just met" Lennon who is a “really nice bloke”, tweeting shortly after: “Brilliant meeting you Tommy… No surrender."

Anderson might try to distance himself from Lennon, but their politics aren’t so far apart. Anderson had the Conservative whip suspended last year after he refused to apologise for Islamophobic comments.

Anderson’s a pimp. A bad actor. A bent landlord. A mountebank.
