Reform UK policy spokesman Zia Yusuf has faced severe criticism after posting on social media that the Labour candidate for a London constituency was born in Somalia, with senior government figures denouncing the remarks as racist.1 Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds described the post as "straightforward racism" during an interview with Sky News.1 The contentious message, which stated that "Labour's pick for the people of Holborn is someone born in Somalia," garnered eight million views on X.1
The target of Yusuf's post was Sagal Abdi-Wali, the Camden council leader who arrived in Britain as a child refugee from Somalia and has lived in the borough for 35 years.1 Abdi-Wali was elected as a councillor in 2022 and became the leader of Camden Council in May 2023.1 The backlash against Yusuf has extended beyond the Labour Party to include Conservative figures; former Conservative politician Nadine Dorries characterized the tweet as "nasty."1 Labour is expected to announce the official candidate for the Holborn and St Pancras by-election before Wednesday.1
