Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf drew criticism on BBC Question Time for dismissing an NHS worker’s ignorance of party policy, sparking debate over tone and immigration.
Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf faced backlash on BBC Question Time in December 2025 after critics accused him of rudeness for telling a long-term NHS worker he should know the party’s immigration stance if he’d paid attention.
The exchange intensified scrutiny over Reform UK’s policies, with audience members and MPs, including Mike Tapp and Zack Polanski, condemning Yusuf’s tone.
Yusuf defended the party’s support for skilled migration to address labor shortages, while allies accused the BBC of bias, claiming illegal migrants were placed in the audience to undermine Reform’s anti-immigration platform.
The BBC denied the claims, stating only two audience members with refugee status were selected.
The incident highlighted growing tensions in UK political discourse.
