Reform’s Zia Yusuf branded ‘rude’ for heated Question Time audience member clash

Reform’s Zia Yusuf has been slammed for being “rude” during a heated clash with a Question Time audience member.

An audience member asked Mr Yusuf for clarification on Reform UK’s immigration policies, when he appeared on the show panel on Thursday (4 November).

Mr Yusuf replied: “So if you had paid attention to what we were announcing, you would not have that view.”
