Zia Yusuf, the ex-chairman of Reform UK who resigned on Thursday, has said he will return to the party in a new role. Earlier this week, Yusuf resigned, saying working to get the party elected was no longer "a good use of my time", without expanding further.

Zia Yusuf said on Saturday he would return to Britain's right-wing Reform UK party, two days after quitting as its chair, blaming his abrupt resignation on exhaustion from the job.
