"Farage Roared From Outside Parliament" Ben Habib Responds To Sacking As Reform UK Deputy Leader
Vložit

- Former Reform UK deputy leader Ben Habib says he is "concerned" about "the mechanisms by which decisions are made" within the party after he was replaced.
Joining Talk's Kevin O'Sullivan, he said: "Nigel lost his seat seven times, it didn’t stop him making one hell of a roar from outside Parliament."
Reform announced the parliamentary roles their MPs will be taking on as leader Nigel Farage aims to “professionalise” the party.
MP Richard Tice moves from the role of chairman to become deputy leader replacing Mr Habib, while Lee Anderson MP will become the chief whip.
Mr Habib has been a major player in Reform, serving as a Member for the European Parliament for the then-Brexit Party.
Reform returned five MPs in last week’s election but Mr Habib was one of the hundreds of unsuccessful candidates, finishing third in the Wellingborough and Rushden seat.

He wasn't sacked. He was replaced because the Deputy Leader should be an MP. He hasn't been ejected from the Party or anything. I hope he stays and continues to fight the good fight for Reform.
It is not a party its a registered business which will soon be bankrupt!!!!
I'd like to believe the media too, but have learned from experience. Ben is too heavy handed to appeal to the chattering classes, so was removed. The UK needs a firm hand, not a velvet glove.
They don’t have to be an MP
Hasn't been sacked but demoted.
Ben went straight on twitter to burn his bridges and bad-mouth ReformUK.
WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE LIKE THAT IN THE PARTY
I hope Ben stays. We need people to push reform around the country.❤
the guy who couldn't even campaign in the right town?
YES I FEEL THE SAME😇
Reform for Islam! ☪️ Yusuf for prime minister!
But he is muslim? Reform don't like Muslims?
Why, the same people and counties that backed the Tories back Reform UK, including the Kremlin, that not even an opinion.
What a humble man. Why haven't we got more politicians like this. I hope Ben stays and continues the fight for the silent majority
Humble? I think you should look at Cr David Bull’s reply to stepping down. Ben Habib was. Co-deputy leader with Dr David but their responses are vastly different. One steps down gracefully and ther’s ego is squawking like a stuck pig.
@@gwenstone8171 There was nothing derogatory about Ben's statement. I certainly didn't hear any squaking. Ben's a thoroughly nice man who was showing complete support for Reform. I hope Ben will still serve in the Reform Party in one form or another. Kevin was trying very hard to put words in Ben's mouth and it didn't work.
Ben Habib is a valuable member. He needs to stay. Such an honourable man
What a gentleman Ben Habib is he’s speaking common sense, he is articulate intelligent and a warm hearted human being. Please stay with the party Ben, you have done so much to wake up the British public. Thank you I love what you stand for and for who you are.
Its that reason they have thrown him under the bus .he didnt fit in .now they will be preaching reform at the mosques soon .
Ben is a wonderful man, full of integrity....such a shame he wasn't elected as an MP ....he's a huge asset to Reform UK
Pity his boss hasn't got any integrity as we have just seen .with sellout farage .
Wellingborough you lost out BIG TIME! Not voting for Ben Habib as your MP Big Time! 🤨
Did they stick with the Cons?
What's their name?
@@kathydoyle1857Labour won - reform came third.
I'm a Reform voter and wouldn't have voted for Habibi he's a Pakistani!

👍Thanks. Lost their minds then! 🙄
@@markjeffery7319 no your not
They should make Ben Habib Recruitment Officer for Reform UK
He is a great communicator and would bring thousands more into the party each month
We need and have great faith in Ben 😊
That’s a very good idea! HBen would be brilliant at this job!
Do you really think he will stay after being stabbed in the back
😂😂
Wellingborough let the UK down. Ben should have won that seat . Reform needs to keep Ben in Reform party he is so liked and appreciated by all Reform party voters . Please stay Ben we hold you in such high esteem and respect. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I agree. i said that too when the election results came out..Wellingborough let our country down by not electing Ben...
I absolutely agree 💯
Ben Habib is a decent man and a great asset to the Reform UK 🇬🇧 movement.
Please don’t let him go like this Nigel!!!
How can a constituency, "let a country down". In a democracy the voters in a constituency choose the candidate they want, unless you believe democracy is only for people who agree with you.
Doesn’t look like anyone wants poor old Ben 😂😂😂
A great result when he was not elected.
Ben is a valuable asset to Reform I would hate to see him leave
He was a remainer
@@cordoroy9515he was not 😂
@@cordoroy9515 He was in the Brexit Party and was an MEP.
@@cordoroy9515had some sense then
@@joycejnnhe was i heard him say it lol
I love to hear Ben talk- so eloquent and a true gentleman. He is a great voice for Reform and should be valued and continue to drive the party forward.
As a paid up member of Reform I hope Ben stays with Reform. He is a rare type of Politician, an honest one.
I would say maybe you members could all have a vote for Ben but as its a PLC you can't.
Maybe go outside and clap at 8.
Message to Ben the people and our Country needs YOU Ben
Well why can’t he win an election ? Nobody wants him not even Reform.
NOT!
Nigel and Richard should be putting him in charge of a team building up their grass root support in those constituencies where they had a good second or third place candidate. Or put him in charge of their central office until a suitable by-election comes along. I'd like to see him in the House but he could be doing so much outside it too.
Fake News.
@@zog97xy TROLL!
Ben you talks a lot of sense , bite your lip and stay with reform , it will be worth it in the end
And don't use this person to voice any issues. Yalk Talk are nothing but ambulance chasers for a story.
😂😂😂😂😂
Please still vote Reform UK.
Stay with Reform and fight for a seat in Parliament again. Ben Habib is an important part of the Reform movement. Obviously Deputy Leader has to be in Parliament.
Nigel should appoint Ben in a senior role within the party even though he is not an MP. He is articulate, and will be a great asset to the party.
I bloody love Ben, a true patriot and legend
Torys are taking him.
He's a Pakistani!
@@markjeffery7319 he is British born to a British parent and a Pakistani parent and his love of Britain says everything, wtf is up with you
@@andymccann2716 Marko is your typical Deformer. This is the issue that Deform has and why Farge will be a ToryBoy by 🎅
@@andymccann2716 why the abuse? You're showing yourself up, he's a Pakistani and can never be British, it takes more than a bit of paper to make you British, haven't you had enough of being ruled by foreigners? I most certainly have!
My husband & i met Ben recently at a Reform U.K. Rally in Essex, just before the General Election. What a Nice Guy. We think it was a rushed decision, without consulting all the interested parties. Unfortunately, in life No one is perfect, & everyone makes errors. At this time, it seems the m.s.m are obsessed with finding fault with Reform U.K., but turn a complete blind eye to ALL the other Parties. Completely, Biased & Unfair. Talk T.V. at least gave Ben a Chance to air his story !!!!.
A big mistake!As a Reform voter we need Ben !He is one of the best!A Great man.❤
He tells lies...just like Farage. Get rid of Reform and its gullible idiot voters
What a great diplomatic response- a truly honourable gentleman who should have been elected to parliament
We hope that you stay Ben you’ve been a great asset for Reform
Big mistake to lose Ben. He needs recognition for all his work
❤ben
Reform hasn't lost Ben...he''ll carry on regardless....👍
Just like all the grass roots and management
He hasn't gone anywhere what you on about ?
@@mariachester950 Yes Ben is lovely
Ben should stay with Reform as the party continues to grow, there will be a role for him.
Truly a honest and patriotic man. Thank you Ben. Wellingborough have missed out on a great opportunity.
BEN YOU MUST STAY
WE NEED YOU
Ha ha ha the end is nigh!

Gutted for you Ben.lm from Northern Ireland and I thank you for sticking with us when the traitor Johnson sold us down the river. I hope your time will come.
There has to be a role for Ben Habib. I hope he stays and continues to fight for his seat, and NI. God bless you Ben, and long live Reform Party
Ben is a fantastic asset to Reform .... we greatly admire his straight talking, common sense attitude and his pragmatic stance and support for the UK !!! Please stay and help Reform !!
Ben should become Director of Communications - responsible for selling Reform's policies to the media and public. He resonates with millions of people in this country.
It's possible that might happen
Absolutely 💯
Yes, in other words a jobsworth 😂😂😂
Love that
Totally agree!
Well said Ben. Please don’t leave Ben the party needs you . A well wisher who voted reform
Bravo! 🇬🇧 Ben remains a key member to Reform and obviously will remain to be.
Reform is not Reform with out Ben a true champion of UK Unionism !
He was replaced because he is NOT an MP. They want the Deputy leader to be an MP, that is all.
So why could he not have the post that Zia has taken, he is new and not an MP
Exactly..they need the deputy leader in the parliament....
A small fact that escapes the majority moaning about this..
That is logical in terms of in-house parliamentary politics. it is to be hoped that Mr
Habib finds a role that reflects well on Reform UK and himself and that he can
obtain a deserved election to Parliament in due course.
Tice will be a great deputy
Ben should lead Reform in Wales. The elections are only two years away. I'm convinced Reform will win, which would make Ben Habib the First Minister.
That is an excellent suggestion
He might have if he just patient, but this is horrible decision ro air dirty laundry in public
Great idea...it would free Wales from the marxist dictatorship....
You lot were convinced that you were going to win a week ago !
How we laughed.
@@oureyesisrael2547Are you saying a one Mr Habib is throwing his toys out of the cot.
Such a generous, loyal and wonderful attitude, Ben Habib. Hats off to you. 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
As a Reform UK voter I ask that Ben is kept within the party at all costs.
Me too!
Ben stay with Reform mate please
I can see why the changes have happened,but Ben is a vital part of the Reform party.
I truly hope he's shown the respect he deserves and given a senior position!
I would put him in charge of co-ordinating the building of the 'movement', creating the nationwide network of canvassers and activists at constituency level that will support future parliamentary candidates in a way that was impossible at such short notice this time (and that would've made the C4 fiasco much more difficult to spring). The 'parliamentary party' has to be parliamentary in order to be a serious contender for government, or even opposition, in 2029. Otherwise they'll be seen as just another niche group of sad little activists like the Greens, with every seat considered a monumental victory. That's not the party any of us wants, including Ben, and I think his sacrifice will be temporary and pay dividends for the party and himself in the future in such a role. His obvious popularity among supporters makes him the perfect candidate for the role, freeing up those now in Parliament to focus more on their role without getting mired down in micro-management at grassroots level that is equally important, possibly more so.
Well said Ben habib ,please stay with Reform 4.1 million voters need you !
BEN HABIB YOU ARE A VERY MAGNANIMOUS MAN, THE REASON SO MANY PEOPLE SUPPORTED THE REFORM
PARTY IS BECAUSE FOR SO LONG YOU'RE HONESTY,

Please don't leave Ben, Reform need you.
Ben, please stay we are all on the same side and you are needed and essential to the Party..
What a Gentleman. Shame on YOU who didnt vote Ben in for your CONSTITUENCY...
Oh no.. democracy
@@UnknownUser-by4le No you blindly voted for a dictatorship 😂😂😂😂 We voted for freedom. And freedom this time unfortunately lost...😢😢
@@UnknownUser-by4le Did you vote Labour.? Because if you did you didn't voted for a democracy, you voted for a dictatorship 😂😂😂
Unfortunately .!!
We voted for freedom, Unfortunately freedom lost this time around. Enjoy your extra taxes coming out of your pocket, 3k down per year on your wise vote.. How you paying for next year's holiday now.?
No doubt higher energy bills as well, oh don't forget higher water rates as well. How's this new government looking so far.?
Not even a week in and already all the above happening, and to add to it Starmer is letting all the villains out of prison early.!! So crimes going to go through the roof as well.. Got any kids ? Daughters.?? Don't let them leave your side let alone sight. Because they'll be the very first victims.
How's that new Labour government looking now then.??
DEMOCRACY LOL .!!! Yeah keep dreaming..
@@ianrose56totally agree.
A gentleman does not make a kerfuffle publicly acting like a baby. HE LOST HIS SEAT. Dropping hints in media he might quit Reform tells us all we need to know. If it was REALLY about what is best for Reform, he would understand a leadership decision was made and he should be man enough to accept it.
I really like Ben Habib, a genuinely hard working patriotic and nice man. Good luck to Ben, he's a pillar of Reform. Best wishes all.
Come on Nigel Farage find somewhere for Ben to Fit in he is so popular with voters of reform we want him back he is patriotic a true intelligent gentleman and a leader we love you Ben ♥
So very well put, @anthonyroe1966.
Ben - you have done a great job for reform. Hope you stay and you are very much appreciated by those who voted for reform.
Ben would be a massive loss, we need him, good man
What grace that man has.....
Grace is exactly the word that immediately sprang to my mind when I watched this.
Reform must not be disloyal to loyal people!
Ben has all our support.
Ben is an absolute star and he's fought so hard for Reform over the past few months , he needs to be recognised for his loyalty and his hard work.
Reform may lose voters over this disastrous decision.
Ben can see that Reform are what this country ultimately needs. Let's try to INCREASE the number of voters for this party / movement. Let's keep making the best possible, most positive noises for Reform.
Wellingborough let the U.K. down.
It's called democracy. Wind your neck in and move on.
@@stephenjon3502 first past the post is NOT democratic!
It’s where I went to school and where my parents died. It was let down by Boneo and was right to reject this racist. Twice! Will he get the message?

I like listening to Ben. He talks eloquently.

Losing Ben will lose Reform future and present voters.

No, it won't
Reform have made their first major mistake and Nigel is nowhere in sight compared to the past. He needs to fix this fast and get Ben back on side!
We need Ben Habib. Very intelligent and polite man who wants a beautiful Britain. Please don’t give up.
Ben is so modest and good… he’s a truly democratic person.
He should remain as a valuable articulate PR spokesman for Reform UK.
Hi from Bristol UK. I love Ben Habib. He is a lovely guy. He hasn't been sacked. Please remove Sacked from title.
Cope better
Ben is a real genuine man who is a great asset to Reform and will be a great politician for the people and our country.
Ben Habib is an absolute asset to Reform UK, I hope he continues his good work.
Ben. Please stay and fight the good fight. You are a total star and we, the people of Reform UK need such a bright, refreshing and trustworthy patriot.
Well said Ben - you are awesome - your time will come I'm sure, be patient!
Come on Nigel, give him a position worthy of his Integrity. Make everyone happy :)
Well said Ben. Put your personal feelings aside. You are still important to the party. Things will settle down and you will become an MP one day just as Nigel did.
I voted Reform after listening to what Ben had to say I was going to join the party but now have decided not to

Ben Habib is much loved by lots of people, a good Man a man of the people for the people.
Please stay Ben you will be voted in at some point
Ben, you are too valuable to lose and Reform is what is needed.
I don’t like internal politics as we the great British public are unaware of what is happening behind the scenes.
We have five MPs now in parliament, a loss for the constituency who failed to accept Ben as their MP, it is their tragic loss. My plea to those who make decisions is to find a fitting place and title for this British patriot who has fought tirelessly for the the cause.
We do not want a British version of the Long knives as per Germany all those years ago. Ben, stay with us for all our sakes, yours too.
Sad news .. Mr Habib was the perfect deputy leader. He is a real beacon of sense and hope, a man of obvious ability, knowledge and diplomacy. It will be an utter travesty is he doesn’t remain at the forefront of Reform UK.
Sadly though he’s not an MP. 😢
@@sumary7663 Does he need to be? For the party to grow there needs to be local offices, databases of members to establish where the focus for the party should be placed, so that news letters and shared ideas can develop, there needs to be a central office. There also needs to be a point of contact with the media .. Ben could do all this while he waits for a bye election opportunity to become an MP.
@@JACB006 Yes I agree. I certainly wouldn’t like him to leave Reform. He’s such a good man.
I agree Ben is a very important figure and it was him and not Tice that Brought Reform to my attention.
Ben is an asset, keep him on side.
Keep roaring Ben. We need you to keep speaking up for the UK. 🇬🇧
Ben, an exceptionally good advocate for good sense and for the Reform Party. A very impressive and sincere response to a good interviewer. I hope very much that Ben means exactly what he says, and I believe that he does.
This guy is remarkably 😀👍🏴
Love Ben Habib, he is a true British patriotic and this is a mistake that needs to be corrected! js
Please don't leave Ben. You are one of the main reasons why I voted Reform and became a member. Reform need you, more then you realise.
They need to make it up to Ben and ask him to come back. He put in so much work into reform, he is well spoken, from interesting background and someone who can add to reform.
Ben was the most intelligent one.
Yes closely followed by Lee Andesrson 😂😂😂
Yes, that is why Nige doesn't want him. Please stay Ben
this was a beautiful thing to hear. Ben is an absolute touch of class, so rare in politics. eventually Ben will be involved further, no doubt.
For Gods sake and the British peoples sake, Ben, don’t go.
I am ashamed of Wellingborough, my town of birth. They had one of the best options going and they blew it.
Ben, please keep in there.
A VERY GOOD MAN .
He Would Let Children Drown. FFS !!!!
Bens response and humility to all this just proves yet again what a great leader he is. I do hope they see sense and give him another important role in the future, he is a good honest man who understands service. I am shocked he is not an MP.
Reform! You cannot lose Ben Habib. Put him in a safe seat for the next by-election, there’s bound to be one.
Ben please stay Reform UK & the country needs you 🇬🇧
I really like Ben, but all parties shuffle there members , please stay Ben, give reform a chance ! Does it really matter which position you are in ?
Its those who pull the strings in the background who we dont see are the real hero's i hope ben adopts this mantra and build on it.... Not everyone as to be in the lime light to be one of the most influential and cornerstones of a movement, untill the curtain is lifted later on down the road to show us all the true stars who made it work..
A man who always speaks common sense truth! They should think again !
Hear Hear
It's not that simple, he's being childish. It's not about him, it's about the party and the people.
I cannot think of another person in politics with more integrity than Ben. For me this is the most important issue in politics. I hope he stays with Reform as it would be a lesser party without him. In any case best wishes to him and so glad that so many also see these rare qualities in him and know that it is what we need in every walk of life and especially politics.
@@theinngu5560 Well said.
Ben is great. Hopefully Reform can find him a role
The people in westminster represent the people who voted them in. Im sorry to say that Ben isnt representing a constituency right now. Keep going Ben. Your turn will come. Character building for the next election. Showing loyalty like you are is powerfull.
