‘Reform has taken an enormous step in the direction of profitable the following normal election,’ says Zia Yusuf

Speaking about Reform’s success within the native and devolved elections, Zia Yusuf says: "It’s been an historic set of outcomes for Reform. This is an historic second.

"No political party, no insurgent political party, has ever managed to, for example, defeat and demolish Labour in their heartlands in the Red wall, for example, while simultaneously demolishing the Tories in some of their heartlands, like Essex".

He tells Sky News: "Reform is now the last remaining and the only national… truly national political party".
