UK minister accuses Reform UK's Zia Yusuf of racism in byelection row

Reform UK's home affairs spokesperson Zia Yusuf suggested Labour's likely Holborn and St Pancras candidate Sagal Abdi-Wali, a former Somali child refugee, is not British, drawing accusations of 'straightforward racism' from a minister. The incident marks an escalation in pre-byelection rhetoric and raises questions about Reform UK's internal discipline and electoral strategy.
