At Reform’s press conference today Richard Tice and Lee Anderson were asked of Zia Yusuf: “Do you think he should be spending less time on social media?” After some combative X posts from the Reform Shadow Home Secretary…
Tice said: “We’re all passionate. Zia is passionate. And we all frankly are furious at how the previous Conservative government, they let us all down because they said they were going to reduce immigration numbers. They didn’t. They opened the doors… as I tweeted out a couple of days ago I think the summer heat may have got to a few journalists.” Reform figures have been raging at reports of internal tensions for about a week now…
Anderson, the chief whip of Reform, said: “A little bit of advice to anybody, if you don’t like what Zia says, then just scroll by. It’s really simple.” One way to do it…
UPDATE: Zia Yusuf said on X:
“It is possible to lie by omission, and that’s what Guido Fawkes has done today.
The Tory Labour establishment is terrified of my social media platform.
My accounts do over 200 million organic views a month.
Which is why establishment media is hell bent on trying to censor me.
Lee was asked by one ‘journalist’ if I ‘post too much’.
Lee responded:
“Zia is one of our best communicators in Reform UK, very popular with the membership. A little advice for anybody: if you don’t like what Zia says just scroll by”.
Guido reported it with the headline:
‘Lee Anderson advises people to scroll past Zia’s posts’.
I will let you draw your own conclusions.
Remember, the things the establishment media write about Reform are not only lies, they are the *opposite* of the truth.”

“I did praise [Burnham] for his stamina, it was amazing. All I had to do was sit back and lie there. I didn’t have to do anything at all…”
