Reform UK's deputy leader today said it was 'great news' that Zia Yusuf had returned to the party - just 48 hours after he walked out on his job as chairman.
Richard Tice said Mr Yusuf had 'done a brilliant job in growing the party' and suggested he quit because of 'exhaustion' and working for 11 months 'without a day off'.
The former banker abruptly U-turned on his decision to quit last night, returning to Reform to lead its plans to cut public spending.
The ex-chairman will also take part in policymaking, fundraising and media appearances.
However his decision to come back to lead the so-called 'UK Doge', based on the US Department of Government Efficiency formerly led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, may raise some eyebrows.
