Speaking at the press conference, Mr Yusuf said that he is 'hugely excited' that Dr Bull was taking the role.
'I wholeheartedly congratulate him and I know he's going to do an incredible job for us,' he added.
Nigel Farage said Dr Bull would come to the chairman's role with 'terrific verve, energy, enthusiasm', adding: 'It's going to be great fun'.
Mr Yusuf returned to Reform over the weekend, just 48 hours after he quit, saying he had made an 'error'.
He will lead the party's plans to cut public spending – the so-called 'UK Doge', based on the US Department of Government Efficiency which was led by tech billionaire Elon Musk.
Mr Yusuf quit as chairman after an internal row in which he described a question asked to the Prime Minister by the party's newest MP, Sarah Pochin, about banning the burka as 'dumb'.

Latest polling says if an election was held tomorrow Reform UK would win a majority

Since the local elections Reform UK has had no shortage of good polls. But a new one suggests Nigel Farage's party has a chance not only of winning the next election, but of claiming a decent Commons majority, too. In February, Reform topped a Sky News/YouGov poll for the first time, with Nigel Farage's party edging in front on 25%, Labour pushed into second on 24%, with the Tories on 21%. But a fresh one from Ipsos puts Reform on 34%, nine points ahead of Labour on 25%, with the Conservatives a distant third on 15%. While the other parties are flatlining, Reform appears to be pushing boundaries. Were these figures to be replicated across the country at a general election, with every constituency behaving the same way, then Reform could win as many as 340 seats, giving it a majority of 30, Sky News analysis suggests. Labour could be reduced to 176 seats, down 236 on last year's election, while the Tories would hit a record low of 12 seats. But polling should always be taken with a pinch of salt and with the firm acknowledgement that there is not an election coming any time soon. Conservative backbenchers might also tell you publicly that opinion polls are notoriously difficult to translate into seat numbers because voting percentages in individual constituencies can vary hugely from the overall average. But the truth is that the symbolism of Reform UK topping another poll is likely to be noticed by MPs from all parties, especially backbench Conservatives who have actively been hoping their leader, Kemi Badenoch, can help them climb the polls and bring the party back into public favour. Politics is a brutal game and when it comes to toppling underwhelming party leaders, the Tories are more ruthless than most. One wonders how many of these polls Mrs Badenoch's party will allow her to endure. Read more: This poll is also a warning to Labour. As the party approaches a year since its major victory, it will not have much to celebrate if these numbers are anything to go by. According to this survey, only 19% are satisfied with the job Sir Keir Starmer is doing as prime minister, with 73% dissatisfied. And the figure of 25% of voters intending to vote Labour is a level not seen since October 2019. While abstract to much of the public, polling can often shape not only the chatter inside Westminster but how and when plots by MPs begin. For Reform UK, this is a much-needed morale boost after a surprise resignation by their former Chairman Zia Yusuf, and then an almost immediate U-turn back into the party. And Kemi Badenoch - who said during her leadership campaign that the Conservatives needed to go back to first principles and that this would take time - will be wondering, seven-and-a-half months after winning the leadership, how much time she really has left.

U.K. Eyes Changes To Visa System And Targets Human Rights Convention

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on July 16, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Benjamin Cremel - ... More) The government of the United Kingdom has announced its intention to put pressure on foreign governments to cooperate more on irregular migration to the U.K., by tying visa cooperation to the issue. At the same time, the government also has called for reforms to the European Convention on Human Rights over migration, echoing calls earlier from various European governments. Taken together, the two steps represent a further sharpening of government policy and rhetoric over the issue of migration. The U.K.'s Labour government, since coming to power in July 2024, has made migration one of the most prominent issues, apparently in response to pressure from more right-wing parties such as Reform UK, who want to see migration reduced overall. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was elected on a platform including reducing irregular migration to the U.K., announced he was looking to a more 'transactional' approach to visa arrangements with other countries. His comments suggest he is exploring ways of pressuring foreign governments, particularly in countries whose citizens try to reach the U.K. for shelter, to better cooperate on the issue. This could look like, for instance, countries allowing Britain to deport more of their citizens back to their territories - something many countries are unwilling to accept if the person is not returned willingly. Such 'visa' diplomacy is echoed in recent news that the European Union intends to modify its own system, to suspend or revoke the visa-free travel citizens of certain countries enjoy, if there is a sudden increase in asylum applications from those countries, among other reasons. It is also in keeping with Prime Minister Starmer's championing of recent increases in deportations from the U.K., and his stated desire to establish extra-territorial receptions centers for deportees, known as 'return hubs.' At the same time, the government has called for reforms to be made to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), to which the country is a signatory. One of the most important, if not the most important, mechanism for protecting human rights in Europe, the ECHR has come in for much criticism in recent years as it has often been seen to stay the hands of European governments looking to deport people without full due process. With this, the U.K. joins nine European countries, including Denmark, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic, who signed an open letter calling for similar reforms. Such calls have been condemned by various civil society groups and migration NGOs, who accuse the signatories of attempting to erode fundamental rights safeguards on the continent. Likewise, Enver Solomon, head of the U.K.'s refugee council, has criticized the U.K. government's targeting of the ECHR, arguing that the government should instead focus on making the asylum system more efficient, rather than attempting to evade its human rights responsibilities. The number of people crossing the U.K. channel has increased 20% since Labour came to office, compared to the same time period the year before. At the same time, government statistics show that overall migration - including people with a valid visa - fell dramatically in 2024.

Minister insists no major welfare rebellion on the horizon after whip quits

A Cabinet minister has insisted a major rebellion over welfare is not on the cards after a Government whip resigned over proposed cuts to disability benefits. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said Vicky Foxcroft was the only frontbencher who had spoken to her about resigning. MPs must 'look to their conscience' when deciding how to vote, Ms Nandy said, but added that the Government believes the Commons will back the reforms. Lewisham North MP Ms Foxcroft said she understood 'the need to address the ever-increasing welfare bill' but did not believe the proposed cuts 'should be part of the solution', in her resignation letter to the Prime Minister. Sir Keir Starmer has faced a backlash from some Labour MPs over proposals to reform the welfare system, which are expected to save up to £5 billion a year. Ms Nandy said a 'handful' of backbench MPs had expressed concerns to her about the 'detail' of the Bill, but added she was confident the Government had listened and the package of reforms was 'absolutely right'. 'It would be wrong to say that when you bring forward big reforms, there aren't concerns and there aren't dissenting voices, of course there are. But Vicky is the only frontbencher that I've had a conversation with about resigning,' she told BBC Breakfast. She told Times Radio that Ms Foxcroft 'did the honourable thing' by standing down. 'If you can't stick with collective responsibility in Government, you have to resign. 'She's done the honourable thing. It will enable her to have a voice, and she – as the former shadow disabilities minister – is very keen to use it. 'But I think most Labour MPs, including her, agree with the principle of the reforms that we're making.' She added: 'It's now up to every MP, as it always is at moments of major reform, to look to their conscience and vote the way that they believe is right. 'And we believe this package of reforms are right and will carry the confidence of the House.' Ms Foxcroft is the second Labour frontbencher to go in protest over policy issues after Anneliese Dodds quit as development minister over cuts to the aid budget. Rebel Labour MPs welcomed Ms Foxcroft's decision, with Hartlepool's Jonathan Brash saying he had the 'utmost respect' for her 'principled stand' and Crewe and Nantwich's Connor Naismith saying it 'must have been an incredibly difficult decision but she should be commended for standing by her principles'. She said she had wrestled with whether to resign or remain in the Government and 'fight from within'. 'Sadly it… now seems that we are not going to get the changes I desperately wanted to see. 'I therefore tender my resignation as I know I will not be able to do the job that is required of me and whip – or indeed vote – for reforms which include cuts to disabled people's finances.' Legislation introduced into Parliament on Wednesday includes a tightening of the criteria for the main disability payment in England, the personal independence payment (Pip). Ministers also want to cut the sickness-related element of universal credit (UC), and delay access to it so only those aged 22 and over can claim it. The package of reforms is aimed at encouraging more people off sickness benefits and into work, but dozens of Labour rebels said last month that the proposals were 'impossible to support'. Pip is aimed at helping with extra living costs if someone has a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability and difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around because of their condition. Data published on Tuesday showed 3.7 million people in England and Wales claimed Pip, up from 2.05 million in 2019, with teenagers and young adults making up a growing proportion of claimants. Around 800,000 people are set to lose out on the benefit under the Government's proposals, according to an impact assessment published alongside Wednesday's legislation. The assessment also confirmed a previous estimate that 250,000 more people, including 50,000 children, are likely to fall into relative poverty after housing costs in 2029/30, although the Government repeated that this does not take into account the potentially positive impact of £1 billion annual funding by then for measures to support people into work. Responding to Ms Foxcroft's resignation, a Government spokesperson said: 'This Labour Government was elected to deliver change. The broken welfare system we inherited is failing the sick and most vulnerable and holding too many young people back. It is fair and responsible to fix it. 'Our principled reforms will ensure those who can work should, that those who want to work are properly supported, and that those with most severe disabilities and health conditions are protected.'
