Richard Fuller emailed Yusuf to inform him his Conservative party membership had been revoked after the Guardian inquired about it, revealing Yusuf's dual affiliation with Reform UK.

Yusuf publicly criticized the Conservative government, stating they had lost control of borders and lacked coherent immigration policies, leading to his appointment as chair of Reform UK.
