I hadn't watched Yusuf's interview until now … I have some thoughts!
Firstly, that's two weeks in a row that a Reform UK representative is brought on to the show and kept separate from the other guests.
They are allowed to have uninterrupted, unchallenged segments of the show to themselves.
Secondly, what happened to journalism in this country?
Laura Kuenssberg allowed him to talk, largely unchallenged, for ten minutes. She had one question prepared that was repeated several times — the Kemi Badenoch strategy.
That Yusuf was allowed to repeatedly claim that two-tier policing was the biggest challenge to this country is shocking.
We know that there's no such thing and this is the LITERAL weaponisation of Henry Nowak's death, while saying that Reform respected the family's wishes.
There are very few in politics that repulse me as much as Zia Yusuf, and yet we are still fed his petulant lies, week in, week out.
When Reform UK collapses after Farage is found guilty on one of his impending corruption investigations, the fact that this guy will be consigned to the dustbin of history, is well worth celebrating.
Happy rainy Monday.
Thanks for posting the full clip, Narinder. 😊
Mohammed Zia Yusuf is asked repeatedly what is important "respecting the wishes of the Novak family" or his political stance.
He repeatedly responds "respecting the wishes" and carries on making his nonsensical points in direct conflict to Henry's family (who have REITERATED this weekend their position STANDS - They do NOT want Henry's death to be used to create division.)
Dreadful man.
