Nigel Farage has claimed ex-Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf quit the party having snapped after receiving a "tirade of personal racist abuse" on social media.

The Reform leader suggested Mr Yusuf was “burnt out”, saying the “very hard extreme right" was to blame for the abuse he received on social media.
