(GB News) Britain should ban the burka in public because it poses a “huge impediment to assimilation,” Reform UK’s head of policy Zia Yusuf has claimed.
Zia Yusuf was quizzed on his position at a fringe meeting at the NEC just four months after quitting as Reform UK’s chairman.
Mr Yusuf, who has since admitted his resignation stemmed from exhaustion, had described Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin’s call for a debate around a ban “dumb” when she quizzed Sir Keir Starmer on the matter at Prime Minister’s Questions in June.
However, … now Mr Yusuf [has] admitted that he agrees with Mrs Pochin about the issue the burka poses to assimilation and even expressed his personal belief in a public ban on the item of clothing.
