Speaking well is just not enough. For that matter zia Yusuf also speaks well. On Dan Wooten show he said that a part of shariya law could be implemented for the muslims.
It's very unprofessional for Farage's "good friend" to interview Ben. The same goes for Reform's policy advisor to Tice, Alex Phillips. For goodness sake find someone who neutral. Anyway James, so what if it's damaging for Reform? He's just told you he tried talking to Farage in private to no avail so why shouldn't he go public? Why shouldn't we know what's going on within the party? Are you worried the public trust Ben Habib and not your "good friend"? Grow up, Ben is entitled to leave and criticise the party.
Whale - listen to what Ben is saying. Farage hasn't done what he says he would do for 5 years. Therefore he's left. Simple. A man of principle. Stop putting all these things into Ben's mouth - 'not right wing enough'....please. You sound like Starmer!
It's Nigel and Richard that are cocking up - they seemingly can't go a day without putting their foot in it lately - the latest being Nigel saying he wants to appease Islam. Don't blame the messenger - blame Nigel and Richard for cocking up.
I've just been to our Reform meeting and can categorically tell you democratising IS still ongoing. Ben has just become bitter since he was democratically rejected. He has no role because he isn't elected. He has just become unprofessional.

The same people who called Tommy racist and turned in farage yrs ago are the same people now turning on Ben . Wake up and see the same pattern. Now all the MSM love nigel. That's because he's appeasing the system not fighting it and speaking Truth and standing firm. Trump didn't bow down to media.
Please allow Ben to speak! He's extremely articulate and is constantly interrupted by ridiculous remarks. Constant rude interruptions. Ben you're so patient and HONEST!

I totally agree with you.l just don't know why people can't see it. He is positioning himself to challenge Farage. I don't like his tactics.@@derryshore5586
The only one who sounds bitter, is Nigel. Ben has clearly stated for a long time that changes were needed for the good of the party and is politics, even though it is not a democratic party, it's still a limited company. Ben unlike some has some real morals and honesty.
I am also impressed by UKIP. Ben is positioning himself to challenge Farage. He is aiming for PM There will be too many muslims in power Khan is Mayor Shabana Mahmood as sec of justice Attif Malik solicitor Lord Ali funding for Starmer Zia Yusuf funding Reform
It's crazy they all falling for the same old BS . Look how they are all turning on Ben now. Exactly how they all did with Tommy Farage at 1 point and now Ben. They just don't get the people and country should be above any party. Because we pay them to be there.
@@KimThomas-vp4vm Yes and any chance they get to crush reform theyll jump on it. Look at what happened a few months ago. Nigel called it 100% spot on yet the establishment still had the audacity to fire warning shots at him. Ben can whine all he likes the ones who actually got elected now have to walk a tightrope. They cant just fire from the hip all the time. Look at that odious speaker Hoyle and how hes silenced all of Parliament. Its a corrupt place. Not easy to navigate.
@@KimThomas-vp4vmHe has to navigate the corruption more like. Look at Hoyles silencing of them. Place is a total swamp and itll come after them if he isnt careful. Already has done once.
The political activist is now building a serious political party that has much more constraints than the EU parliament. His commitment is as strong as ever. If you'd rather go to the non entity UKIP party that's your perogative.
I like Ben but right now he just needs to shup up & get behind Reform, its near impossible for a new party to get anywhere under first past the post, Nigel like him or not is the one best placed to break the two party system so we have to stick with him.
Never saw Ben on the campaign trail. I don’t think they wanted him to win anyway but you’re spot-on Sarah and it’s been going on for sometime, They’ve been pushing him out for sometime I think it’s because he was a big threat to Nigel. Nigel doesn’t like that so you have to go because it’s his parade.
I like Ben - but he's using a lot of WORD SALAD to explain why he's out. Reasons: Nigel has shares he won't sell / Reform have not been very nice to him - probably because he keeps insisting Nigel should get rid of his shares.
Before the election Richard Tice promised that it was changing and would be democratically run by the members. It was repeated again at the Reform Conference by Zia and in a press conference. It still hasn't happened. Nigel is still the boss telling everyone else what to do.
The shares will be gone by the GE. The democratising IS still ongoing. Just been to our local Reform meeting and was updated with progress. Ben is making a fool of himself unfortunately.
@@Elizabeth-jd3mn Don't be daft it was meant to be done months ago. Before the election Tice said they'd started the process (to get votes). Then after the election they said it was being processed, then again at the conference, then at press conferences, truth is nothing is listed with the electoral commission, tell the truth. Ben is telling the truth, the man stands in integrity. We can't even start up a branch bank account for our branch.
I really like Ben-he’d make a fantastic MP and even a future PM. That said, I completely reject his reasoning for stepping away. He’s exactly the kind of person the left needs to counter the right. The current party structures aren’t working, and maybe Reform’s setup offers a better alternative. However, Ben, your repeated criticism of Reform is starting to come across as “if it’s not done my way, I’ll complain about it.” That approach isn’t helpful for the chance to win the next election.
I'm beginning to wonder who is Leader of Reform, we see more of Zia these days, a nice British Patriot. But seeing to much of him on the front line. Let Ben speak for crying out loud, he never let Ben finish
Question 1. What happened between Farage and UKIP ? Question 2. What happened between Farage and BOJO at the election ? At some point you have to ask...is there a reoccuring theme here.
If you wasn't going to let Ben explain himself, why invite him in the first place. Whether you agreed with him or not you could have let him finish what he had to say.☹
I like Ben but he's a absolute embarrassment at the moment. He's sulking like a child because he's not at the top table. He didn't win a seat in parliament and petrified he's becoming irrelevant. He needs to tow the line or go away
Ben sulking? Dont see that at all ! He spoke out about sth concerning him and was right to do so. He has integrity and is loyal to the UK; he's not a petty man,unlike N F.
Democratising a Party doesn't just 'happen' overnight. It is a process. And EVERY party at least begins as a Ltd Company. A lot of people are forgetting that Ben was a very consistent Member and Donor to the Conservative Party for many years. Every time Reform has begun to do well up crops Ben to try and undermine it. Now with the petition doing so well he is acting as if he wants to split the Central/Right vote. And given the amount of people on-line claiming they will NOT now vote Reform due entirely to Ben it appears to work. The man is just undermining everything and splitting the vote.
Under Uk company law, you cannot convert a company limited by shares to a company limited by guarantee. Or the reverse. An entirely new company needs to be formed first.
Maga is a Peoples movement NOT a Trump movement. Trump earned the trust and respect. He didn’t blame others when Maga disagreed with him . He listened. In return he got trust and respect which is earned not given blindly. You all sounding like you were with labour .
Yep the same media that hated farage. And now they turn against Ben. These are all the same people who have only just woken up to this crisis when Tommy and his followers were the ones telling them over 20 years this was coming . And they are all blown away. That they only just realised the whole system is corrupt . It's always been corrupt you just didn't listen. Because you were still listening to MSM and beleived labour were the saviours and now they are making the same mistakes with reform. They put party before the people when it should be people b4 party .
Ben is good, but the best way for him to achieve was to use the Reform platform. It's not the USA, we don't have a president, so a one man band can't get anywhere. His bitterness and ego has got in the way.
BEN'S ego? Not at all. He is correct to be forthright instead of moaning to friends etc . NF is the one with the huge ego.Trump offers him a job - he'll be gone. 😏 And, James, if Ben speaking out is 'damaging Reform' then it/ they wasn't very strong in the first place.
Ben please give up enough is enough stop .now.. your very bitter. I am very disappointed with ben .do not run reform down . Take a hoilday and keep away from the media sorry i cannot watch ben trying to bring reform down ..
Take a look at farage , you would not vote for him , to much for his own power , you will have a better chance of winning if habib was in chance , can’t see clacton re electing him to much for himself.
Well while you have farage you won’t go far,, he can’t do his day job let alone run a country, he thinks he is the bees knees in fact he’s rubbish to much mouth not enough substance.
Like many others I recognise Ben Habib as a TRUE gentleman. His comments are to me always, always, sound, intelligent and thought-provoking. While I have applauded Nigel Farage for a decade I find that lately he is repeatedly disappointing me. To be honest, I am losing trust in him. However, apart from political considerations I found his remarks about Ben deeply offensive. They clearly displayed a lack of politeness and an ugly lack of gratitude for Ben's sterling work.
Well done James, Ben, unfortunately, will not change his mind. He is far too public and will not listen to any other idea other than his...He loves the sound of his own voice. He would always be disruptive no matter where he ended up!
Nigel would be well advised to listen to what is being said here. It has been a rollercoaster, no doubt. But Ben is right in what he is saying. No doubt Ben is both hurt on principle and personally by perceiving a lack of interest in his views within the party. Ben is one of the few people in this country that could lead alongside Nigel. This is not for Ben to make a change. This is for Nigel to make a change and show a conciliatory side, that he will support his supporters of which very few will doubt that Ben is one of those. Hopefully it will all work out in the end.
All farage wants is power, he is all about me , that’s why he will not be reelected clacton will not vote for him again, you would be better with habib .
Ben, what are you doing, you had a good voice for reform, why couldn’t you wait to see what would happen Nigel has a lot of things happening at the moment & he could use your support I can’t believe you are acting like this
Democratising the party is important. I signed up to become a reform party "member" according to the website. I found I am NOT a member of the party. My subscription money only created an "account" to receive a newsletter. What does "membership" mean? I feel misled, perhaps cheated.
Whats left of our United Kingdom will not look or feel like OUR country ever again unless we listen to Ben. I wish he was saying it from within Reform but I have to say BEN sounds more like the old Nigel than Nigel does. Can we do without politicians like Ben?
I disagree, Ben is not coming across as bitter IMO. He’s not damaging reform, Nigel and Richard are not doing what some of us expected in terms of standing strong.
Ash and James, why don't you interview each other like this more often? Saves bringing a guest on the programme. The centre right of politics needs to grow up, get together, unite they call it or allow this country to continue with it's unsavoury socialist policies.
The members cannot remove the leader. Nigel Ben and Zia lied when they say we can. Nigel is the one who is being bitter. He fears Ben is more popular than him.
Wrong. I've just come home from our Reform UK meeting and can categorically tell you the democratising IS still ongoing and will be continued by lawyers for some time, it will be fully complete by the time of the next GE. Ben sadly was democratically rejected twice and has shown increasingly angry behaviour since, many will be glad he's gone he's alienated many people in Reform and the Brexit party before it.
I'm so sad that Ben Habib has left Reform UK. DANGER: The danger of allowing Reform UK members to vote for their leader AT THIS STAGE is that people could join Reform UK simply to get rid of Nigel Farage. I hope democratising the party is deferred until after the next GE.
We will never be out of the EU until we are out of the ECHR.
Funny how Nigel never mentioned we wouldn’t leave ECHR probably why he didn’t run in 2019 election
Which Nigel has made very clear is what Reform will do.
Can I ask you what benefits we will see when we are fully out of the EU and ECHR?

Ben speaks far better and professionally the Tice and Farage, it seems that Ben speaks from the heart and for the British People
Well maybe so he is not a mp he failed twice maybe we'll if he came an MP he wouldn't be saying half what he saying know different rules
Speaking well is just not enough. For that matter zia Yusuf also speaks well.

The last thing we need in the party Reform is falling out and differences, you need to unite and work together for a happy united party.

No doubt Ben is both hurt on principle and personally by perceiving a lack of interest in his views within the party. Ben is one of the few people in this country that could lead alongside Nigel. This is not for Ben to make a change. This is for Nigel to make a change and show a conciliatory side, that he will support his supporters of which very few will doubt that Ben is one of those. Hopefully it will all work out in the end.
All farage wants is power, he is all about me , that’s why he will not be reelected clacton will not vote for him again, you would be better with habib .
Traitor
Come join the Labour movement. Drop the thugs ... you've still got a decent skillset
Maga is a Peoples movement NOT a Trump movement. Trump earned the trust and respect. He didn’t blame others when Maga disagreed with him .
Ben, what are you doing, you had a good voice for reform, why couldn’t you wait to see what would happen Nigel has a lot of things happening at the moment & he could use your support I can’t believe you are acting like this
Democratising the party is important. I signed up to become a reform party "member" according to the website. I found I am NOT a member of the party. My subscription money only created an "account" to receive a newsletter. What does "membership" mean? I feel misled, perhaps cheated.
There is another five years yet plenty of time to sort things out as they go along sick of hearing the word democratice
My second comment.. presenter's remorse..just out to get Ben on behalf of Nigel.. pair of clowns.....rude clowns...such rudeness.... obnoxious pair...
Whats left of our United Kingdom will not look or feel like OUR country ever again unless we listen to Ben. I wish he was saying it from within Reform but I have to say BEN sounds more like the old Nigel than Nigel does. Can we do without politicians like Ben?
If we listen to Ben Habib, the establishment will win again.
I've just been to our Reform meeting and can categorically tell you the democratising IS still ongoing despite white Ben says.
It's not YOUR country. It's OURS.
Nigel don’t care about UK he care about getting paid
@@DerekShirreffs-g5v How so?
I disagree, Ben is not coming across as bitter IMO. He’s not damaging reform, Nigel and Richard are not doing what some of us expected in terms of standing strong.
Ash and James, why don't you interview each other like this more often? Saves bringing a guest on the programme. The centre right of politics needs to grow up, get together, unite they call it or allow this country to continue with it's unsavoury socialist policies.
This must be the 10th, 15th interview Ben has done on this. WE GET IT. You left the party over this. You've attacked the party, more than Labour have.
Jimmy O'Bigot loves this
The members cannot remove the leader. Nigel Ben and Zia lied when they say we can. Nigel is the one who is being bitter. He fears Ben is more popular than him.
🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 GROW UP.
Wrong. I've just come home from our Reform UK meeting and can categorically tell you the democratising IS still ongoing and will be continued by lawyers for some time, it will be fully complete by the time of the next GE.
Ben sadly was democratically rejected twice and has shown increasingly angry behaviour since, many will be glad he's gone he's alienated many people in Reform and the Brexit party before it.
Remind me what seat he holds again ?
Many people still think Reform is a 2-bit company they need democratizing
This is a frustrating interview. What is the point of having Ben on if he's hardly allowed to speak and keeps being interrupted.
This host is a bully
The host wasn’t tough enough.
He gave Ben a softball interview.
Poor decisions Ben😮
BEN IS STILL CRYING BECAUSE HE DID NOT WIN HIS SEAT.😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣.
I agree he is getting on my nerves
What these commentators cant get their heads around is that Reform has turned its back on the English working class.
Ben is right.
HE WILL START A NEW PARTY WITH TOMMY THAT'S WHY HE HAS COME OUT TO SAY HE HAS LEFT NIGEL HE HAS TAKEN THEM UP ON THEIR OFFER WAIT AND SEE
Oh for goodness sake ! Let Ben finish a sentence, how rude , bring a guest on and don’t let them have a say because you’re biased.
It seems as if it is about Nigel and benhabib
Ben is very bitter .. he is so jealous and he could damage reform .. I used to like Ben but find him very childish
I think Ben Habib will be greatly missed, he knows a lot and a lot of the British people like him
They are going to arrest touci😡
I'm so sad that Ben Habib has left Reform UK.
DANGER: The danger of allowing Reform UK members to vote for their leader AT THIS STAGE is that people could join Reform UK simply to get rid of Nigel Farage. I hope democratising the party is deferred until after the next GE.
That’s what’s need to be done. , farage is bringing you down, he is only for power for himself.
You are wrong please support nigel he is our future@lesleylamy
Ben talks a lot about not wanting ex torys . But he's a tory donor , nigel is an ex member , anderson is a former m.p .... what's he on about
Vote Reform UK every election 👍
I'm really disgusting at how Mr Habib was interrupted over and over as a matter of course and very deliberately by the interviewer.
