Television presenter and ex-MEP David Bull has been named the new chairman of Reform UK, following Zia Yusuf's brief resignation and return amid a heated internal debate over burqa bans.

As Reform eyes major political gains and pushes bold policies—including reindustrializing the UK and exploring crypto—Bull takes charge during one of the party's most chaotic weeks yet.
