Good Morning Britain presenter Ed Balls and Reform UK Chair Zia Yusuf had a furious clash on the ITV breakfast show as Ed accused the politician and businessman of evading a question about influencers such as Andrew Tate. Balls challenged Yusuf about Reform’s plans to “remoralise” young people if they were in government. “Many of our viewers are very concerned about the impact in schools on our young people of Andrew Tate…Would you as part of this, of this re moralisation, want the social media companies to take Andrew Tate down so he’s not undermining the morals of our young people?

However Yusuf appeared to avoid the question instead focusing on his belief young people are being made to “hate their country” “You said all that yesterday on the BBC,” Balls interjected. “But on the question I asked you about Andrew Tate. What do you think about the impact that Andrew Tate is having on the moral well being of young men?” Again Yusuf didn’t directly answer forcing Ed to challenge him. “You keep avoiding answering the question. And the thing is this – if Reform wants to be in government answer questions. And the question is, would you want the social media companies to take action against the influencer Andrew Tate who’s now back on X or not?”
