Zia Yusuf returning to Reform UK two days after quitting

Zahra29:
LOL!!!!

And this is in spite of Richard Rice doubling down on the burqa ban debate.

Politics eh 😂

Zahra29:
True, but remember that Galloway lost his seat in last year's GE to Labour, despite the Muslim support due to his stance on Gaza, so it's not completely insurmountable.

Zahra29:
Perhaps. I suppose it depends on how much[b] weight they place on Muslim voters which is allegedly the group that Zia was courting before he resigned[/b]. Time will tell.

I agree that Zia was naive. However even Elon's father was on the radio yesterday claiming that his genuis son was inexperienced about real politics, hence his faux pas. He didn't mean it. Basically pleading for Trump to forgive him lol.

Cyberknight:
Zia may be young, but I don't think he's that naive.
I think that he wasn't starry eyed about his actions when joining, and knew all about Reform and what it means, but joined for his own reasons (basic self interest - getting in on the ground floor of a party that is still statistically likely to form the next government in 2029), and had to leave when his position became untenable.

Zahra29:
Hamza Yousef was replaced by a white man

Vaughan Gething was replaced by a white woman

Kemi Badenoch will most likely be replaced by a white man in the person of Robert Jenrick

Labour leaders and deputies have only ever been replaced by white men (and more recently a white woman)

So I don't think it's necessary for Zia to be replaced by another ethnic minority unless as you say, Reform specifically want the optics of an ethnic minority in the party leadership.

Zahra29:
Not necessarily. The fallout when Rupert Lowe was kicked out of the party appeared very damaging, especially as he had/has a lot of support amongst most Reform members, but Reform still went on to win the Runcorn by-election and hundreds of council seats.

If they find a "competent" replacement and professionallise, they'll probably be fine. On the radio yesterday, Reform callers said they either didn't know who Zia was, or didn't care that he'd left as they were ultimately voting for Nigel lol

We all know Trump is a petrolhead....... And the anti doge reforms, trump needs to pass, never sat well with elon...... Hence that resignation earlier (that was masked as end of term)........ 😊😁😂

We need some sanity in the Global economy..... 😁😊

justwise:
Yes and Tesla share has taken a hit... Musk will win if he goes slow and keep all the contracts from the govt, if he pushes too far Trump will cancel the contracts and reopen all the investigations against Musk

Goodenoch:
Yes, about banning burqas.

I find it incredibly telling that that was what she chose as her FIRST ever question to ask in parliament. Shows clearly what her priorities (and that of the party (-minus Zia obvs)) are. Not the economy, not anything more important, instead she chose to ask if the PM would ban the burqa on security grounds as if burqas are a major factor in any of the security issues the country is facing.

I've said it before that all those doing "I support Reform even though I'm a 'X'" will later find their square roots, as the core ideology driving the party reveals itself, same as all the "'Ys' for Trump" people are finding theirs, albeit too late in their case.

Goke7:
Are we sure it’s not a fall out of what’s happening across the pond?

Zahra29:
💯

I've said for a while now that Reform is the real fox to watch, the Kemi obsession was just a red herring.

Farage is now playing Labour and influencing their policy decisions in the same way he manipulated Cameron & co and engineered the Brexit vote, and eventually Brexit.

Like Blair said recently - ignore populists at your peril. Populists don't create a grievance, they exploit grievances (of the silent majority).

Once you watch live program on Youtube as little as Pastor Jerry Eze...you have to pay.

Negotiate what?

Council tax or road tax..even the least insurance you can get will be close to £100

Zahra29:
They're going for Scottish Labour now and looking to overtake them as the no 2 party in Scotland.

Ahead of Thursday's by-election they've accused Sarwar of sectarianism, advertising a speech he made to the south Asian community where he said that the time has come for Pakistanis to lead the country and decide what is taught in schools. Sarwar inturn accused Reform of racism lol, but his speech has obviously not gone down well with many Scots or non Pakistanis/other south Asians.

Jandminded:
Paycheck jobs hardly make one rich.
It can only make them comfortable.
That's why it's not advisable for someone that is already doing well and has something good in Nigeria to sell all and travel out.
Left for me, I can only advice fresh graduates and single people to travel out, because it would be better than working for 200k per month in Nigeria, that's if you even get the 200k job.

Well...truth is bitter , you can argue it


You can't be rich doing 12 dollar an hour job ! You can't be rich earning salary and paycheck

You can only be rich when Pepe work for you not you working for people and 90% of those abroad work for people living on paycheck to paycheck swapping two jobs a day breaking Thor backs


Well...feel free to argue

Zahra29:
Lol, the government is already having a massive headache trying to figure out how to withdraw pensioners' WFA without losing the next GE. They're lamenting that lifting the 2 child benefit cap will cost billions....Starmer wants to make us "war ready" without confirming how or where the money will come from....Rayner in her leaked memo to Reeves (before the White Paper) suggested restricting benefits for recent arrivals.....not easy times for them.

It's illegal, you can go to jail for it

Council tax is already high, yet you pay water bill separately. These bills come monthly without enough inflow to settle them. These bills are not in your control. They are non negotiable

Living pay check to pay check isn't life. How can you be earning £1500 and your recurrent expenditure is £1200 . That's a rat race

femi4:
You don't pay tv licence n council tax in Nigeria

Rent isn't monthly in Nigeria

You don't pay insurance n road tax monthly in Nigeria

Parking ain't free in the uk

The issue is recurrent spending in the uk is high

Kemetian:
You must be living in a cave in the bush.

Where do you see Nigerians paying council tax, TV licence, road tax and all sorts of scam taxes?

Don't fall victim to this.

Agents behind this scam have been using different IDs to report this thread.

This is SCAM.

UK:

Unemployment
Underemployment - You have a degree but work as security guard or Uber driver.
High Taxes Depleting your Income
You pay rent.
Road Tax
Car Insurance
Water rate
Electricity rate
Child care fees if you are working and have kids. Nothing like ''housegirl'' there.
Council tax
Income tax
Phone rate
By month end you're broke.

Only a matter of time before they tax you for the air you breathe.

Of what use is ''good road'' and ''good educational system'' when your life is crap?

There are good roads in Nigeria too. Leave your village and move to Abuja or Uyo or Enugu. Fine roads everywhere and highly secured.

What is ''sub-standard'' about the health care and educational systems? These are the same systems that have produced world class individuals in all spheres, from doctors to engineers and scientists all over the world.

Everything African is always ''sub-standard'' in your 'oyinbo' worshipping heads.

Ofodirinwa:
UK is a decaying former power. In 20 Years Nigeria will surpass it in GDP.
But even when that happens, Nigerians will still believe the UK is where they will find wealth.

I'm not against japa though, but Europe is a place to be comfortable and minimalisitic. The people there are not doing as well as people assume. US and Canada are the best possible options, but someone who a strong mind will thrive anywhere.

Pls, I need urgent help.
My partner and I have applied for visa and me being the dependant, but the thing here is there's no link for me to pay for my IHS and our appointment date is tomorrow. Hope that wouldn't be an issue for my biometrics

Teledom1:
Oh really? Why are people saying there are no appointments dates from the news about halting new visa appointments
