Television presenter David Bull will become the new chairman of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, after his predecessor Zia Yusuf quit the party and then rejoined days later following a disagreement about whether burqas should be banned in Britain.

Bull, a former medical doctor and long-time ally of Farage who previously served as Reform’s deputy leader between 2021 and 2023, was unveiled as chairman by Yusuf in a press conference on Tuesday. He is a presenter on TalkTV, an online channel run by Rupert Murdoch’s News UK.
