Tensions Rise as Nigel Farage Ousts Reform UK Deputies

Nigel Farage's reshuffle within Reform UK, including the ousting of deputy leaders and other key changes, has caused tensions within the party. Ben Habib, a former deputy leader, expressed concerns about party control and decision-making processes, hinting at internal divisions. The appointment of Zia Yusuf as chairman, Richard Tice as deputy leader, and Lee Anderson as chief whip reflects Farage's aim to 'professionalize' the party and bring a new leadership team. The move follows Reform UK's recent election success and aims to solidify the party's position as a significant opposition force in British politics under Farage's leadership.
