Zia Yusuf 'blocked by his OWN party from standing as an MP' as BBC Question Time audience laugh

During a BBC Question Time episode in Kettering, Reform UK Home Affairs spokesperson Zia Yusuf claimed he was blocked by his own party from standing as an MP. Yusuf also clashed with presenter Fiona Bruce, alleging the audience was not balanced after few members identified as Reform UK supporters. Bruce defended the BBC, stating they were scrupulous in ensuring the audience represented wider public opinion, despite Yusuf citing the party's 28% polling figures as evidence of bias.
