Reform UK's Zia Yusuf Slammed For Calling Tory And Labour Politicians 'Traitors'

"This very excitable, angry & hyperbolic man should be nowhere near a position of responsibility."

Political Correspondent

Zia Yusuf has been called out after describing Tory and Labour politicians as “traitors” in a provocative social media post.

The Reform spokesperson for home affairs wrote on X: “Recent events demonstrate why I view the Tory and Labour politicians who created the burning injustice of modern Britain as traitors to their country.

“A reckoning is coming.”

It’s not entirely clear if he is referring to any particular “burning injustice”.

Social media quickly responded by slapping down his claim and slamming his controversial remarks.

Many people also questioned his attack on the Conservatives, considering Reform have accepted more than two dozen former Tory MPs into their ranks in recent years.

I didn’t vote for either of the winners of the last two General Elections but “traitors” for whom a “reckoning is coming”? Really? This very excitable, angry & hyperbolic man should be nowhere near a position of responsibility in a political party that aspires to power. https://t.co/KuqG8EN2ZD— David Gauke (@DavidGauke) May 29, 2026
