- "This is Britain first, putting the United Kingdom first. It's a very basic, quite old fashioned concept, but it forms the heart of our contract.”
Reducing immigration, taxes and regulations on British private enterprise are among some of the pledges that Reform UK plans as part of their manifesto, says the party's deputy co-leader Ben Habib.

Starting rate of tax raised to £20,000 is the most sensible and fair idea I have heard for years!!!!!!
Easy to say. About 40 billion to pay for it. It's Truss like, check how Reform say how they are going to pay for their policies. It's fantasy economics.
It will cost up to 40 billion.
@@royboy565 No it just means the government needs to cut some of the absolutely ridiculous and wasteful £1.2 trillion gov spending every year.
@@annarichardson7794That's why all public services are crumbling. Not enough is being spent. Reform would just make things worse. Their "contract" is full of fairy tale costings and assumptions. Its like a first year economic student prepared it.
@@royboy565 An incredibly simplistic view. Having worked with many departments of the public sector over the years, I can tell you the proposed 4% savings over 5 years, if done properly, is massively unambitious.
This presenter would learn a lot more if he kept quiet and let others speak, he is a complete airhead.
The presenter could hardly get a word in
like habib.
Just another puppet interviewing following orders , if he dosnt follow the script he gets sacked !
It is a great Contract with the British People! Vote REFORM!!
A contract with serial grifter - you are kidding
another gullible gammon a simpleton.
I’m voting Reform UK 🇬🇧💙
Ben Habib is such an erudite and articulate speaker, I love that reform isn't a one man band like many other of Nigel's parties have felt like.
vote reform !!!!!!!!!!!!
Ben was right to stand his ground and did a great job of getting across the Reform policies that will benefit us all. Well done Ben.
Super champion of unionist uk ni
100% Vote Reform.🇬🇧 No other party can sort out the UK mess.
The object of this "interview" was more about interrupting than with learning about a party's policies and aims.
All parties should have a contract with the people
Legally binding, so when they fail to deliver they are lawfully accountable.
You can't bind a future parliament to pass a piece of legislation, irrespective of the arguments made whilst debating the bill.
Isn't the 'meeting of minds' part of a contract....what is a manifesto??.where do you put your X 🤔
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOnelegal means legislation, not law....legislation can be repealed by government......
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne
They wouldn't put anything in it that would be worth anything to voters if that were the case.
Im voting for them .
So many Britons seeking to do the UK harm... quite bizarre.
@@nietzscheankant6984Luckily not enough to make any difference.
What a breath of fresh air and new ideas the contract is! Putting British workers first - finally a party that wants to do it!. It's radical so I suspect the establishment will try to trash it as they are afraid. Let's make 4th July our Independence Day! VOTE REFORM
Putting the UK first is way past time. I have no problem with helping out others once that's established...when we can afford to. The interviewer does not appear to have any grasp of the obvious.
And what is the obvious?
Aid is influence. Reform are unrealistic and simplistic in their analysis and Habeeb simply thinks that the UK can isolate itself from global factors. We cannot!
If you don't look after yourself it's not possible to help others in need.
@@johncabell3226 Indeed.
Who is this representative of Reform UK? He is extremely impressive.
Ben Habib is the deputy leader of Reform UK and is the candidate for Wellingborough in Northants.
@@NiceLokia failed candidate - ???
Ben Habib.
Eloquent, precise, truthful and utterly charming, in my opinion! 😃
Ben is a brilliant speaker, brilliant man.
My parrot does the same.
Hahahahahah
He is splitting hairs. His interview technique is clearly bias
That told him.
How come Ben ain't talking about food banks 😊
Or trying to get to the truth.
No. Stig is right. This is a marketing gimmick on Reform UK’s part, and he was trying to unpack that
Do you mean biased?
The Tories are done Vote Reform
What a donut quibbling about such trivial things. Times Radio, try to do better.
Will the interviewer ask Ed Davey why the Libdems bothered to write a manifesto?
They'll have MPs
he could ask Tory's the same. They're not going to form the next government, are they?
They were in government before!.....remember nick clegg?
@@eastlondon666 Same logic applies to Reform.
They could be kingmakers in a hung parliament.
@@s0ycapitan loool, want a bet on that?
There really isn't anything that Ben was wrong about in the interview. The interviewer shouldn't interrupt.
Cheap power from renewables.
Uncosted pledgeds.
He's just another grifter like Nigel.
@@TheWebstaff Maybe you should listen to the interview properly. He outlined exactly how they will pay for it.
@@rb1062Yes that was the fantasy bit. Absolutely ridiculous assumptions.

Well said sir! Away with the WEF hypocrisy
Reform have our vote!
Common sense policies which the interviewer cannot comprehend the media is so farcical it’s unbelievable #VoteReform
Fairy stories are quite difficult to understand.
The interviewer kept saying that climate change was a fact and it is not according to scientist that appose the theory. The fact is that no one knows for sure but it's a good way for some industrialists to make a lot of money.
What a complete bias Id...
WHO is this Interviewer ? , He doesn't have a Clue - He should be taken Off Air Immediatley
Don't you agree with free speech? 😂😂😂
Yet another biased interviewer, get him off air!
Everyone I know has stopped listening to this station. I wondered why. Objectively never got a look in here.
Agree, I liked it first thing in the morning, NO MORE, I stopped listening about a week ago
yep, and apparently, the russian army has been on the brink of collapse for 2 years, getting so bored of their click bait
I agree completely. I am selective in what I watch from this platform. They are bloody liberals.
@@user-mw9bd2ey6s yeah here comes a typical liberal reeling out labels, hard right or far right, I claim all of them. Just so you know I am a true conservative, I believe in faith, family and freedom. Unlike you liberals that bend the knee to wokism and flood the country with islamic extremists. You hard left marxists guardian and daily mirror loves will have a rude awakening some day just like what's happening in America where the population is waking up realising the true enemies is lame MSM and the hard left.
Ben talking sense as he allways does.
Why do these people keep on about something that isn’t even happening it’s a tax scam for god sake wake up
But the labour party are going to allow an extra eight hundred thousand extra carbon footprints in this country every year.
well done Ben, vote for Reform UK, get rid of net zero
Why net zero is about investing in new infrastructure and future new energy ideas, good for jobs and change, oil and gas will run out eventually, so it needs to be done at some point, or is it just Farage, Tice and Habib have got to many shares in oil and gas?
We have such huge access to gas and oil. All shut down. Nuclear is extremely viable energy source. Solar and wind is not viable even when you aren't factoring how much it costs in carbon production in making the actual solar or windmills etc.
Again the amount of carbon being released driving climate change isn't even agreed science. We have .04 % carbon in atmosphere and we certainly don't want less than this. Also humans only contribute to 3% of this .04% total.
@@jonibz1456Reform is a backward looking party.
Raise money by sacking half of the civil servants and stop subsidised net zero.
Times radio another load of trash

You dont seem to understand that good journalism requires impartiality and no bias, something your BBC and Guardian aren't capable of.

This man makes sense, reform would certainly provide an opposition as labour and conservatives talk the same language.
Yeah, Brexit was brilliant as well. 🤡🤡 mug
To only those with a limited understanding of economics. 🤡
Latest poll puts them on 13% with very few seats if any so opposition they won't be.
@@darumagenki6271 you're replying to me so I assume you are saying I have a limited understanding of economics! You have no idea!!
@@VictoriaShirley-xx1zmbut reform are all brexiteers you support them as Brexit cut us off from our closest trade partners because of all the extra paper work and checks and has caused business failures and businesses to move away from the uk your understanding of economics are indeed limited
The interviewer has not read the contract with the people - who are these ignorant people.
Net zero must go..period
Reform UK 🇬🇧 for the people
Common sense from a politician. A rarity indeed.
You must be watching a different video
More Ben Habib's please !!
Habib is a grifter.
No not watching alternative video ..are you
Yeah skibidi toilet
Awful interviewer.
Bias interview
Great work Ben 😊
Best example of the "net zero" was.... " if the uk was to sink into the ocean tomorrow, the cabon footprint of the worlds carbon footprint wouldn't be effected! So why are we crusifying local businesses and civilians with higher taxes to plant trees and send industry abroad!"
Because back in 2019 it became cheaper to produce electricity from renewable sources than fossil and nuclear but you need the grid infrastructure to do it.
The additional cost of staying as we are is estimated to be double that of investing in a renewable grid now + we'd still have to do it anyway
The ultra rich want Carbon credits to control the world.
Presumably the City of London will do very well out of that scheme too.
So the UK has to take the most ridiculous steps to provide legitimacy.
@@s0ycapitanno they don't they want our economy tied to fossil so they can squeeze every drop of profit from the existing system.
The last thing they want is countries with energy independence
@@SlowhandGregwhy do we need such a large grid? To generate renewable energy in the last few wild places in the British Isles trashing ancient peat bogs, carbon sinks, in the Shetland isles thousand of miles from the largest population centres in England at huge cost in materials, man power, and our wild places. The model of power generation on a massive scale ie giggawatts in one place is so early 20th century when generation was done in the coal fields beside rivers, the Trent Valley for example because most of the population was there. If huge arrays of turbines are deemed necessary which they are not because smal scale generation ie small wind turbines in communities operated by local co ops and solar on most buildings can supply most needs, then build them where the power is used Hampstead heath, Epson Downs, Saddleworth moore, Cannock Chase etc etc.
@@SlowhandGreg Yet it costs trillions for that infrastructure.[ Chinese made]
For our 1%
While China builds coal fire power stations for their 28%
Ben being brilliant and speaking sense, as always. What a breath of fresh air. VOTE REFORM.
It's such a shame he hates immigrants more than Farage
😂😂 Trussonomics is a total failure. A vote for reform is a vote for Trussonomics.
I know where do these people crawl out from
Vote Reform lol 😂
❤ Muslims for Reform, help nigel destroy the establishment of TORIES for war crimes in Palestine
Ben Habib as he is mostly is absolutely RIGHT we need to ditch Net Zero because it's the poorest who pay more for it
It is a contract. A contract offer at this stage. Just because a contract is not accepted doesn't mean it's not a contract. Good to see you don't need to go to school to work at Times Radio. How progressive.
It's more like a fantasy than a "contract"
Absolutely! The interviewer looked like fool for suggesting it’s not a contract.
Ben was all over him !!
It's got a "DRAFT" watermark on every page. Who in their right mind would sign up to a contract like that?
@@ftumschk Because that’s how contracts work. You draft up a contract for proposal. If the other party are willing to accept it, the contract is signed.
I like that one, "for the betterment of British people".
I have just watched Richard and Nigel from the Reform UK party. I thought it was such a well delivered program by them. The Contract is so set out with precise scenarios that I will be delighted too vote for them. I would like to know that if they did win the election what will they do first!!! Let's hope they do. 🎉❤
By all means vote for them if that is what your conscience tells you to do.
They would raise the tax free allowance at the next budget in total, not in increments.
@@lorrainenichol5607It's obvious the country can't afford Reform, literally.
have tories or labour ever stuck to their manifesto nope
When the Reform party get 12 + seats in parliament will the radio guy be so cocky.
Well we'll be waiting forever for that

Common sense and Reform in the same sentence. You couldn't make it up.
Well Spoken
Ben Habib is awesome, a main character type thinker, the interviewer however is an NPC type thinker....
Reform can use its 'Contract' to form the basis of its OPPOSITION to the Westminster parties.
Ok mate 😂
All good policies, reasonable and entirely possible to implement. I've binned the Tories, and wouldn't touch Labour, Plaid or the LDs with a barge pole; Reform are the way forward, obviously not immediately, but they will either be the party of good governance or force the Tories to go back to being one.
Where is the money coming from??
So racist, privilege of nhs abd pensions, no increase in training and all unfunded.
Oh, and it's impossible to meet nhs as workers can not be supplied.
@@michealridgway7607Any party can promise the earth when they know they have no chance of being in govt.
I mean the UK is the 6th largest economy and yey already produces less than 1% of the world's emission. Come on, the problem does not lye with us. We'll spoken Ben and good point regarding the wind turbines which are manufactured in China using Coal power! The world has honestly gone mad.
Past use ! Don’t you understand
@@matttomlin Irregardless....coal power was used, was it not?? Maybe you don't understand.
So you aren't buying anything made in China then?
You are basically saying we offloaded our emissions to China.
China is adding more renewables than the rest of the globe combined with 2000 GW to be added in the next 4 years.
They have a net zero goal of 2060.
Apart from that the UK has a personal interest in reducing emissions, because climate change is likely to have a very big impact on our weather.
Read up on AMOC collapse.
@@christommo4402 you don’t seem to grasp the fact that carbon release is not just now but from the past as well, it’s total carbon release not just what we are doing now

Is there something wrong with the presenters face or his he smirking on purpose
No, just his bias showing through.
No he just knows a meme when he sees one.
He is trying his hardest not to burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of it all
So good to hear Ben Habib give an erudite explanation of Reform's policies. Very happy that his party is listening to the people for once. We have been ignored for far too long. Vote REFORM.
Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧
This reform party is 40yrs out of date shame it never happened years ago
Ben Habib is superb. Reform need to get him in front of cameras as much as possible over the next few weeks.
What some journalists don’t comprehend is that the Reform’s approach is like the approach of a business, a new business. Look at their C4 add for example. Ppl said it was genius, (even those who do not like Farage), it was smart money spent to get the biggest impact at the tightest cost. Politicians, civil servants etc do not think like this. We need to try new ways of working, new philosophies or we stay stuck as we have been the last 20-30yrs red/blue/red/blue became the same & now going deeper into a hole created by Blair’s gov’t & legacy
A party political promotion by The BBC on behalf of the Reform party. Billionaire tax cuts with tax rises for the Working and Middle classes.

The urgency of the interviewer to interrupt and shout down was blatantly obvious.
Heavily biased.
I think Reforms contract is good enough for me and for millions of Reform supportes ! Its what most of us want !
I get much more skeptical when I hear a politician invoke the term ' the British people' . That is when you know it's an emotional appeal attached to a promise that is not going to happen in reality.
Wondering man, brilliant British values. Reform for us ❤
I think the interviewer has been to the same school as James O Brian .
If Reform are saying they don't have a manifesto but a contract, and they are not a political party but a company...can we take them to court easier for breach of contract?
