🛑 Stop underestimating the hell out of Reform Party Chairman Zia Yusuf, multimillionaire right-hand man to Nigel Farage! 🛑 Please. He's got “extraordinary” constitutional powers within Reform UK and has grand visions of becoming the tech bro behind an Elon Musk-inspired DOGEing of Britain.

Zia Yusuf, the man behind Reform UK's turquoise curtain, has managed to get enshrined via the Reform Constitution into an un-sackable chief gatekeeper, secret-holder, and disciplinarian. He's intent on bringing DOGE and Trump tactics to Britain. Don't underestimate him. Now on @desmog.com
