Question Time crowd erupts as Reform spokesperson claims no other party ‘ more successful in fixing potholes’

Reform's Zia Yusuf clashed with Fiona Bruce as he failed to answer a question about potholes five times on Thursday’s (30 April) episode.

The BBC Question Time host pressed Mr Yusuf on whether pothole spending in parts of Warwickshire under Reform has dropped by nearly 50 per cent, according to a statement published on North Warwickshire and Bedworth Rachel Taylor MP's website.

Pothole repairs across Warwickshire are up by nearly 50 per cent under Reform, according to the leader of Warwickshire County Council, George Finch.

When asked for the final time whether pothole spending in North Warwickshire under Reform had dropped by more than half, Mr Yusuf responded: " I'm not across that precise bit of detail... I will tell you this: No party who controls councils in this country has been more successful in fixing potholes than Reform," before laughter was heard in the audience.
