Richard Tice has revealed that Zia Yusuf faced "horrendous online abuse" before his dramatic resignation as Reform UK chairman on Thursday.

The Reform UK MP told the broadcaster that Yusuf had been "working 24/7 for 11 months" and was "doing the job of about five people brilliantly, but he was just exhausted".

In a dramatic reversal just 48 hours after his resignation, Yusuf returned to Reform UK on Saturday. He admitted that his departure had been a "mistake" resulting from "exhaustion".

Speaking to GB News, Tice: "What's going on is that Zia is back."
