ZIA YUSUF has been mocked for performing a "humiliating hokey-cokey" after returning to Reform UK just 48 hours after quitting as party chairman.

The 38-year-old businessman said his decision to stand down had been the result of “exhaustion” and working for 11 months “without a day off.”

He will now lead Reform’s plans to cut public spending, the so-called “UK Doge,” based on the US Department of Government Efficiency which was led by tech billionaire Elon Musk.

The ex-chairman will also take part in policymaking, fundraising and media appearances.

Labour Party chairwoman Ellie Reeves said: “Reform’s revolving door shows that the party is all about one person — Nigel Farage.

“Zia Yusuf’s humiliating hokey-cokey is laughable but there is nothing funny about Farage’s £80 billion in unfunded commitments.

“His reckless plan is Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-Budget on steroids and would spark economic chaos that increases bills and mortgages.

“Working people simply can’t afford the risk of economic chaos with Reform UK.”
