Reform’s ‘shadow home secretary’, Zia Yusuf, launches tirade of misery that sounded more hardline and deranged as it went

t was only last week that Nigel Farage declared he was no longer a one-man band with the announcement of a handful of key appointments. Though that does not mean his “Mini-Mes” can yet be trusted to be allowed out on their own. Baby steps and all that.
Nige would rather die than let someone else hog all the limelight. It’s not that his team would screw up. That would be just fine. The worry is always that they might do too well. Might reckon they could live without him. Farage needs to watch them all like a hawk.
So, fresh from his embarrassing Chagos trip that made him look like a halfwit, Nige was to be found in Dover on Monday morning. For an event that had been billed as Zia Yusuf’s first major speech as Reform’s Home Office spokesperson.
