No merger with the Conservatives! There are some proper Conservatives who could join Reform, but we don't want the ones who are to the left of the party, and indistinguishable from the Labour party
Ben Habib would be a shoe-in regarding the next by-election. Okay - so he didn’t win the seat he was standing for, but he is a loyal, valuable Reform member and an excellent speaker. He should stay in Reform and be put into a senior ‘reserve’ position. He feels insulted by Nigel - I understand that and so should I if I was in his shoes. Don’t leave Ben…..your time will come again!
I wouldn't be interested in voting for Reform if they merged with the Tory party. Too many liberals in the Tory party as it is. We need Reform to stay true to its manifesto.

have'nt you ever heard of that old saying lol ? , Keep your friends close but your enemies closer , that way you always know ahead what they've got planned .
With a majority of over 170 seats I can't see why not. I'm sure they will rapidly become very unpopular and lose by-elections and local election seats. In five years they can do a lot of damage.
@@steener76 You're well out of it then, being neither British NOR someone who'd benefit from their increasing the inheritance threshold & halving the rate at which it's paid. (PS - I wonder what attracted this millionaire to Reform UK?)
I feel for Ben, he has been brilliant, always speaks very well and genuinely. I understand his frustration. Being pushed aside for some newbie with loads of money who has effectively bought the Chairmanship would pee me off too. I might have joined Reform a bit too soon.
Ben is Fantastic! They should have stood him in a more guaranteed constituency to have him alongside them in parliament. Please don’t merge with the consocialists! Get the right of centre MPs to join Reform.
If they did team up with the Tories would Nigel be the leader of the party ? The Tories would never accept that would they as they are too full of their own importance. If Richard Tice can hand over leadership then surely Ben can take a different job too.
Defiantly no why should they piggy back on Reforms success . They must try and get unity back into the party and stop their petty arguing between themselves . Also remember they work for us and are paid by us which makes them accountable to us .
Why would you get into bed with a party who has shown such contempt for us? This is Ivor a mistake or it’s a silent neutralisation of a promising movement.
The party must retain Ben Habib. Bi-elections will crop up regularly and he should be the very first in the queue, for a winnable seat. Remember chaps, you have made an issue of common sense. Apply it now please!
I voted for Reform and I have a feeling it will be the last time I will vote for them. I have been thinking of joining them for a while now and I'm now glad I held back. I suspect there is much more to come.
I wouldn't trust the Tories again as far as I could throw them. I'm staying with Reform UK I'm putting my faith in the leadership, but, I also hope that Ben will still be involved with the Pary too
In fairness when Tice is both better known, and an actual MP having overturned a massive Tory majority, it makes more sense to have him as Deputy. I can understand it might sting a little for Habib though.
I very much doubt Farage will merge with the Tories. But I trust Farage and his judgement the only Tory I would welcome in the party is Suella that is it
I'm on the fence there. If she throws her hat into the leadership challenge and loses, then decides to come to Reform, then that would be seen that she was going for "second best". If, however, she defects to Reform _before_ the leadership challenge then that would be a better option.
It is senseless to join the Tories. People have had it with that party. Since they like to be so socialist what with their wokery and all, the Cons should focus on that and leave Reform to campaign for the capitalist vote. Reform should stand for free markets, light regulation, personal responsibility and getting rid of these immigrants which Rishi and others let in.
Ben Habib, has been treated appallingly in my opinion, if it wasn't for him coming into Reform from the Early days, they probably wouldn't have got to the point where Nigel Farage came back. Very disappointing for me.
That shouldn’t even be possible ? If we voted for Reform to get him a seat in parliament and then join a party we obviously didn’t want there that is wrong surely ? 🤔😳 is it even legal I’m shocked at this who can we trust !
A major problem with the proposed merger between Tories and Reform is that many Tory MPs are not up to the standard of a party which wants to break the mould rather than perpetuate it. Andrew Bridgen is the sort of man the party needs, and how many serving Tory MPs come anywhere near Bridgen's standard?
As a New Zealander, I see British politics this way, Conservatives gay party, Labour mad hatter party, Lib Dems a bit each way party, and Reform the common sense party.
I would like to hear what reform say about nationalising water, for the amount of money put in to all of these private companies across the UK, the service and cost are poor at returning it value.
I will NOT support Reform party if they merge with Conservatives ! Dont do it, Reform party will do better without rotten apples.. Torys are doomed. Ex Tory voter here.
Yusuf is a strong Reform supporter who's given a lot of money to the Party, but Nigel was wrong to make him Chairman. The job should have gone to Ben Habib who's been loyal to the Party, promoting it for a long time now.. It looks to me like Nigel his putting money first and it's not a good look. I thought he was better than that and had principles. Is he just like the rest of them afterall? Hope it's not gone to his head now he's an MP.
I don't know why, but I'm sceptical about Yusaf. I know he's donated a large amount of money to Reform, and he's an excellent speaker, but I do prefer Ben
Zia, totally reminds me of Vivek Ramaswamy - it's such a pleasure to listen to both of them speak. Their patriotism, intelligence and all round cohesive awareness is truly motivating and speaks to these qualities within all of us. I feel a sense of calmness and relief listening to such common sense after so many years of the usual woke virtue-signalling, etc. Their words resonate even beyond borders.
Wonder whars going on behind the scenes. I like Ben Habib and hope they don't alienate him. Many agree with Ben's points of view. In my humble opinion keep wellaway from the tories, you don't need the loosers
No merger! If any tories wanted to jump ship they should have done it months ago, now Reform needs to be very selective about taking those that do still want to move across. No losers! They must be first class with political integrity (if that's not a misnomer)
We want the party of REFORM to be Professionalised across the UK and there will be plenty of room for PATRIOTS who support the REFORM policies. Ben will be fine if he wants to be a part of it.
🙄. Even disharmony in Reform now for goodness sake. . . DO NOT GO DOWN THE SAME DESTRUCTIVE ROAD as the other parties. . . Keep it together for the sake of the country and the British people Nigel. . .
I would suggest the Conservative Party members who aren’t in favour of linking with Reform, should be in the Lib-Dems. The potential positive for Reform, is not being the Tory party.
Excellent move by Nigel Farage and his team. I'm personally sorry to hear that Ben Habib is considering his position however I did see an interview during the run up to the general election when he said he didn't expect or want to remain in a political role in the medium to long term.
lf Labour complete their 5 year term there will be a hell of a lot for Reform to put right if they are elected to replace them . Being pessimistic l would say the damage they will cause to the UK will be beyond repair . Labour have been in power for only a few days yet things look bad already so what the Country l be like after five years ? lt does'nt bear thinking about . Thanks all those who voted for Starmer . Now we will all suffer for your stupidity .
After seeing the damage caused to our country by Blair,Brown and Milliband I will never understand why people voted for Starmer,after Milliband we had about 10 years of austerity,remember the treasury secretary left the infamous note saying "there's no money left"and he wasn't kidding.
Reform and the remnants of the traditional Tory Party need to come together to be an effective opposition BUT, as happened in Canada when a similar event occurred, don't let the old Tories swamp the enthusiasm and new direction of Reform. They believe themselves to be the REAL Conservative Party and that Reform should HEEL to their command. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.
Nigel, must be very careful going forward, his handling of Ben Habib, is wrong on so many levels. Ben has won his place in the Reform Parties movement through merit and proven dedicated loyalty to the cause and party. Nigel has to find a way of bringing Ben Habib back into the party and placed in a role that reflects the love and respect we the supporters have for him. Do the right thing Nigel, late runners who wish to declare their loyalty to the party can also take a role that reflects their current contributions and later their loyalty once proven!
Reform has to address the regional beak up of England and why England is the only country in the world without its own elected assembly. England has never been asked as a nation about devolution, and have had local referenda ignored and overturned in places like Manchester and Birmingham. Reform has to address why England is being penalised by the British establishment.
