Chairman of hard-right Reform UK party Zia Yusuf quits
LONDON: The chairman of Britain's hard-right Reform UK party quit on Thursday, saying that trying to get the upstarts elected to government was no longer 'a good use of my time.'Zia Yusuf's announcement came after he criticized the party's newest MP for asking Prime Minister Keir Starmer whether he would ban the wearing of burqas in the resignation hints at unrest in arch-Euroskeptic Nigel Farage's party, which has already lost one MP since it secured a breakthrough result at last July's general election.'Eleven months ago I became chairman of Reform. I've worked full time as a volunteer to take the party from 14 to 30 percent (voter support), quadrupled its membership and delivered historic electoral results,' Yusuf wrote on X.'I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office,' he the 38-year-old had slammed Sarah Pochin, who was elected in a by-election last month, for her question to Starmer on Wednesday.'I do think it's dumb for a party to ask the PM if they would do something the party itself wouldn't do,' Yusuf wrote on became chairman in July last year, shortly after Reform won 14 percent of the vote and five seats in parliament — an unprecedented haul for a hard-right group in a British general was tasked with professionalizing the group's grassroots operations and training up candidates ahead of what Farage has said will be a major challenge to Starmer's Labour party at the next general election, likely in Reform has consistently led national opinion polls for several weeks now and won hundreds of councillors at local polls on May said he was 'genuinely sorry' that Yusuf had decided to stand down, but some analysts saw it as another example of the charismatic Brexit cheerleader falling out with a senior figure in his party.'It's like deja vu all over again,' political scientist Tim Bale wrote on X, citing Farage's previous leadership of UKIP and the Brexit Party.'No-one but no-one gets to be bigger than big Nige,' added the Queen Mary University of London politics month, former Reform lawmaker Rupert Lowe called Farage a 'viper' after his dramatic suspension from the party over claims he had threatened did not charge Lowe, citing 'insufficient evidence.'

Playwright Caryl Churchill pulls out of theater project over Barclays' ties to Israel
LONDON: Acclaimed playwright Caryl Churchill has withdrawn from a project with a London theater over its sponsorship by Barclays and the bank's links to companies supplying arms to Israel. In a statement, Churchill, who is a long-time advocate for Palestinian rights, called on the Donmar Warehouse to cut ties with Barclays. 'Theaters used to say they couldn't manage without tobacco sponsorship, but they do. Now it's time they stopped helping advertise banks that support what Israel is doing to Palestinians,' she said. The project had not yet been publicly announced but would have marked Churchill's return to the Donmar for the first time since 'Far Away' in 2020. Her move has been backed by more than 300 artists and arts workers, including actors Harriet Walter, Juliet Stevenson, Alfred Enoch, Samuel West and Tim Crouch, who signed an open letter in support. Barclays has faced increasing pressure from arts and activist groups over its provision of financial services to defense companies operating in Israel. In 2023, the group Culture Workers Against Genocide published a letter condemning Barclays' sponsorship of Sadler's Wells, with signatories including Maxine Peake, an actress. Last year, the Bands Boycott Barclays campaign led to the bank being dropped as a sponsor by several UK music festivals, including Latitude and The Great Escape. Barclays declined to comment on Churchill's withdrawal but said on its website: 'While we provide financial services to these companies, we are not making investments for Barclays and Barclays is not a 'shareholder' or 'investor' in that sense in relation to these companies.' Barclays CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan defended the bank's position in a 2023 Guardian article, writing: 'These companies are supported by our democratically elected governments for their role in protecting the UK and allies in Europe. We will not undermine our own national security by de-banking them.' Responding to Churchill's decision, Culture Workers Against Genocide said: 'Arts institutions have an ethical duty not to contribute to oppression and injustice. By continuing to accept sponsorship from Barclays, Donmar Warehouse is helping to launder the bank's reputation as it profits from Israel's genocide in Palestine.' The Donmar, which lost its £500,000 ($679,355) annual government grant in 2022, has increasingly relied on private support, including corporate sponsorships. It has been approached for comment. Churchill was previously stripped of a European lifetime achievement award in 2022 following criticism of her play 'Seven Jewish Children' and her public pro-Palestinian stance.

Man City's Third-placed Finish May be Better Achievement than Title Win, Guardiola Says
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola described his team's first trophyless campaign since 2017 as a season of growth and reflection, dismissing notions of failure and suggesting it may have been a greater achievement than a previous title win. "I want to suffer when I'm not winning games," Guardiola told Reuters in an exclusive interview. "I want to feel bad. I want to sleep badly. I want that when the situation goes bad, it affects me... I want that! 'I'm angry... my food, it tastes worse... I don't need to eat much because I need to feel that (anger). Because if it doesn't, what sense would it have? Winning or losing... We're here in this world to feel different experiences, different moods.' The 54-year-old, who has won 12 domestic top-flight league titles across Spain, Germany and England, spoke about last season's challenges, which saw City finish third in the Premier League and fail to secure silverware in domestic or European competitions. It marked only the second trophyless season of his managerial career. Guardiola rejected the idea that the season was disastrous, instead arguing that it may have been the most valuable of his tenure at City. "You judge happiness if you win. You judge success if you win and win. And that is a problem," he said. 'I will not judge myself or my team because of bad seasons or good seasons... Maybe finishing third in a season and never giving up otherwise you finish 10th or 12th, maybe that's a better season than when we won the fourth Premier League in a row. 'We faced so many difficulties that were higher due to injuries, relaxation, I was not good enough... for many reasons. Maybe the analysis about my period is that the last season was better. Qualifying for the Champions League when we were on the verge of not getting it. 'WINNERS ARE BORING' Reflecting on setbacks, Guardiola quoted former Uruguayan President Jose Mujica: "Success is how many times you stand up when you fall down." He added: "Fall down, stand up. Fall down, stand up... That is the biggest success." "Winners are boring," he said, adding that he always looked forward to post-match interviews with players and coaches from losing sides. "It's nice to see the losers. That is when you really learn." Despite his remarkable record, Guardiola dismissed any notion of exceptionalism. "Do you think I feel special because I won a lot of titles? No! Forget about it!" he said. "I feel that special is the doctor that saves lives. The people who invented penicillin. That is a genius. Me? Genius? Come on." 'I don't want to pretend to be humble: of course I'm good! I'm proving that over many years I'm good... But the success I had, I was chosen. In certain moments, to lead Lionel Messi and the other ones, to be in those type of places I made incredible teams... But other managers, in the right moment, in that position, maybe they could have done the same.' Looking ahead to the upcoming season and the Club World Cup, Guardiola emphasised the importance of team spirit. "Play good. Create a good vibe, good team spirit... Try to make the new players bring us an energy that we need to lift the team again. And at the end, we can lift trophies," he said. Guardiola also reflected on the pressures of public-facing jobs with constant scrutiny. 'The stress is always there because you are being judged every single day, but it is what it is," he said. 'Nobody put a gun to my head forcing me to choose this job. I have chosen that... There is no professional in football that wins all the time, because it's simply impossible. So, it happened last season... you accept it, improve, learn and there will be good learnings for the future."
