Victoria Derbyshire, "Robert Jenrick was immigration minister, Suella Braverman was home secretary, they failed to do what they promised to do" "And you're saying, despite failing, they're good enough to help Reform UK fix Britain" "That sounds like gaslighting the voters" Zia Yusuf, "No, I think, err, look, we have faith that British voters are smart enough to know" So now only stupid people don't vote for Reform UK because all the smart people are voting for Reform UK🤷‍♂️

EXCLUSIVE: Five Conservative MPs have formally opened discussions with Nigel Farage about defecting to Reform UK, including former Home Secretary Suella Braverman. As revealed tonight on Dan Wootton Outspoken, five Conservative MPs contacted Nigel Farage over the weekend to negotiate a potential defection to Reform UK. The most prominent figure among them is former Home Secretary Suella Braverman. While Zia Yusuf and Nigel Farage have publicly stated that the party will not accept any further Tory defections after 7 May, it can also be revealed that Reform UK remains willing to welcome as many Conservative defectors as possible — even if that means extending beyond the previously announced deadline. Suella Braverman has been considering a move to Reform UK for several months. However, the recent defections of Andrew Rosindell and Robert Jenrick have significantly increased her inclination to make the switch.

“It’s not an unreasonable thing to say either, if you look up what a colony actually means.” In this week’s episode of the FSU’s podcast, Connie Shaw sits down with former Cabinet Minister Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg for a wide-ranging discussion on free speech. Immigration is often painted as a controversial topic — but it is one we must be free to speak openly about, as one of the greatest challenges of our time. Connie asks Sir Jacob whether he thinks Jim Ratcliffe’s recent comments have cleared the path for others to speak more openly about immigration. She also questions whether the Prime Minister was right to tell him to apologise. Watch Jacob Rees-Mogg on this week’s podcast below 👇 Full episode on our YouTube channel

“We have an application process to stand in parliamentary by-elections and all I’d say is that coming after me for not being willing to stand in a by-election is incorrect and hugely presumptuous.” Zia Yusuf here strongly suggesting on BBC Question Time that he has failed to be selected as the Reform UK candidate in at least one of the five parliamentary by-elections. Which says something when you look at who Reform did end up picking. All is not well at the top of Reform.

🚨 FARAGE IS FILLING REFORM WITH THE SAME FAILURES WHO BROKE BRITAIN You do not fix a broken system by recycling the people who built it. Voters can see straight through that. Nadhim Zahawi is not a fresh start for Reform UK. He is a symbol of everything that went wrong. Ben Habib just said it plainly: Zahawi is part of the problem, not the solution. This is the same man who: • Backed mass immigration • Wanted amnesty for illegal entrants • Pushed remittances to Somalia over British taxpayers • Was forced out of government over tax affairs • Enforced vaccine passports and mRNA mandates A globalist technocrat, not a patriot. And yet Nigel Farage has welcomed him into Reform. Why? Because Reform is no longer trying to clean out the stables. It is trying to absorb the establishment and rebrand it. Habib nailed it: Reform has taken in dozens of failed Tory MPs — the very people who created Britain’s crisis. That is not reform. That is political recycling. You cannot claim to oppose mass migration while recruiting its advocates. You cannot claim to oppose medical authoritarianism while embracing its enforcers. You cannot claim to be anti-globalist while elevating globalists. Reform UK is not replacing the system. It is repainting it. And the British people deserve better than a new logo on the same broken machine. Advance UK Ben Habib

🚨 REFORM UK’S MASK JUST SLIPPED Nigel Farage’s latest recruit is Nadhim Zahawi — the man who helped enforce one of the most coercive medical policies in modern British history. Let’s remember who Zahawi really is. As Vaccine Minister and later Chancellor, Zahawi was not a reluctant bystander. He was one of the architects of the Covid control regime. He didn’t just “roll out” vaccines. He pushed: • Vaccine passports • Exclusion from public life • Medical segregation • Coercion by restriction His own words in Parliament were chilling: “We reserve the right to mandate its use.” “As a condition of entry… people will need to show they are fully vaccinated.” That meant: No jab → no concerts No jab → no venues No jab → no participation in society That was not public health. That was state coercion. And now this same man is being welcomed into Reform UK — a party that claims to stand for freedom. Let’s be honest about what this means. Reform UK is not a clean break from the system. It is absorbing the very people who built the system. Zahawi enforced: • mRNA rollout • Vaccine passports • Mandated medical compliance David Bull praised mass vaccination. Richard Tice backed vaccine passports and travel restrictions. These are not rebels. These are the enforcers of the Covid regime. So when a journalist asked about mRNA, Zahawi and Farage didn’t answer — they attacked the question. Because the truth is politically radioactive. You cannot claim to fight medical authoritarianism while recruiting the men who imposed it. You cannot claim to be anti-establishment while filling your front bench with: • Failed Conservative ministers • Lockdown enforcers • Passport advocates • Corporate-state technocrats Reform UK is not a revolution. It is the same machine, painted a different colour. And if they would lie about this, what else will they lie about when they have power?

🚨BREAKING! Restore Britain Redirect released footage that was removed from Jacob Rees-Mogg and Rupert Lowe MP interview on GB News In the footage, Rupert describes the character assassination attempt from Reform UK as “coming out out of the sun like a spitfire” My honest opinion is both parties are wrong. Filing a police report for “bullying” is not a good sign of a robust leader. On the other hand, this was after Rupert went to the daily mail to describe his own party leader at the time (Nigel) as acting like a “Messiah”, questioning whether he can “deliver the goods” and named his own party (reform at the time) as the “protest party” Disputes should remain in house. An inability to follow this … well, will only result in your colleagues deeming you as untrustworthy.🤷🏾‍♀️

🚨Nadhim Zahawi: "I would not be sitting here, nor would Nigel be sitting next to me, if we didn't agree, that we did the right thing for the nation to get the vaccine program to the success that it achieved." 2026, and you’re still pushing this rhetoric. It was not a vaccine. It was experimental mRNA gene therapy that has killed people and harmed many more; yet you have the sick audacity to sit in front of the British public and bat away our concerns as if it’s a joke. You disgust me. Utter contempt for the British public. Reform UK what the hell are you playing at?!

COULD JENRICK’S LEAP TO REFORM UK REIGNITE LEASEHOLDER LIBERATION? 📢 Lots of talk at the Reform UK Robert Jenrick presser about an “inflexion point” for British politics. Wait for it … there’s a leasehold abolition angle. Before defecting yesterday, Robert Jenrick was one of a tiny handful of Conservative parliamentarians who publicly pressured the Rishi Sunak government to go further on freeing leaseholders. Writing in the Telegraph, he called leasehold a symbol of “rip-off Britain”, urged the abolition of forfeiture, a gangster-like device that forces leaseholders to comply with financial demands under threat of having their home seized without compensation over arrears as small as £350, and called for a sunset clause on leasehold. “Today, leasehold stands not as a curiously British anomaly, but as an affront to the distinctly British dream of owning a home and the peace of mind that comes with ownership, rather than the insecurity of renting … a symbol of rip-off Britain, where hidden bills lurk around every corner, and of the growth of crony capitalism, where rent-seekers milk consumers despite adding no value.” We also understand that when the general election was called, Jenrick was one of the very few Conservatives who pressed Number 10 to reverse course and rescue the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill in the wash-up after Sunak and his aides had dropped it. That became the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, which now sits rusting under this The Labour Party government, despite a promise in the July 2024 King’s Speech to “act quickly” to bring its provisions into effect. Some leaseholders criticise his time in office, particularly for giving freeholders a financial windfall under the two-storey permitted development right. This move caused the cost of collective enfranchisement to soar for affected blocks. His handling of the post-Grenfell building safety crisis was also controversial, as it initially risked imposing loans on cladding victims. On the latter, Jenrick secured a £1 billion government fund for remediation in May 2020, agreed with the Treasury and Sunak, then chancellor, and later succeeded in increasing it to £5 billion in February 2021. As his former colleague Stephen Greenhalgh said in 2023, after leaving government: “We forget that Robert Jenrick actually got a lot of money out of the Treasury. He went back and, like Oliver Twist, got more.” Yesterday, Jenrick admitted he made mistakes in government and said, like much of the country, he has been on a journey, realising the uniparty has failed Britain. After leaving the Sunak administration for the backbenches, he recalled how, as Housing Secretary, he resisted pressure from the murky retirement property sector, which had tried to preserve the exemption from a ban on ground rents for new builds that his predecessor had allowed. He ultimately abolished the exemption. “Its lobbyists approached Members of Parliament and my Department and threatened judicial review of our proceedings,” he said. “I considered it an unfair practice, targeted at the most elderly and vulnerable in our society. Why not have a fairer and transparent system where an elderly person knows exactly what they are paying?” He was responsible for the ban on ground rents in new leases under the 2022 Act, which abolished the retirement property exemption and aimed to pave the way for reviving commonhold. In a January 2021 statement, Jenrick secured government commitments to abolish marriage value, advance enfranchisement reform, and revive commonhold, launching a Commonhold Council to prepare the market and consumers ahead of the second-generation tenure’s rollout. Beyond ending ground rents for new builds, in January 2021 Jenrick secured a commitment from Boris Johnson for a second legislative package to free leaseholders. But after he left the Housing Secretary role, the 2022 Queen’s Speech saw this second Bill shelved, reportedly under pressure from the Treasury, Johnson’s own aides, and lobbyists for Big Freehold. The plan was eventually delivered by the Sunak government with the 2024 Act, though it incorporated only a handful of the 2020 Law Commission recommendations that Jenrick had overseen. While Labour has been dragging its feet in power, the Conservative Party has failed to defend the 2024 Act or hold the government to account on a totemic pro-homeownership policy that will reduce the cost of living and expand the property-owning democracy. After the general election, Jenrick was probably the most vocal Conservative MP on leasehold, pressing on Lord Hermer’s strange ECHR legalism thwarting leaseholder liberation, even though he was not the housing spokesperson. Leaseholders have seen no leadership from Conservative Shadow Housing Secretary James Cleverly🇬🇧. On Monday, when Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook was under pressure, Cleverly’s colleague David Simmonds CBE, Conservative MP delivered a disastrous performance in Parliament, asking about local government reorganisation during the leasehold and commonhold debate. Pennycook couldn’t believe his luck. Jenrick is now joining Reform UK, a party that promised cheaper lease extensions and freehold purchase in its last election manifesto. Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧, Reform deputy leader and MP for Boston and Skegness, rightly attacked the Sunak administration for backing down on slashing money-for-nothing ground rents to peppercorn or zero financial value, as promised in the 2019 Conservative manifesto. Tice also personally pushed for this agenda to be included in the Reform manifesto after Nigel Farage MP succeeded him as leader. At a March 2021 press conference, when proposing a “polluter pays” approach to resolving the cladding scandal with a guarantee that financial liability would not fall on leaseholders, in contrast to the Tory policy at the time, Tice said: “With my three decades of experience, I know what some of those landlords are like, and very often they haven’t got the leaseholders’ interests at heart.” It will be interesting to see whether both men continue to push for leaseholder liberation. The 5.3 million households alienated by Labour’s foot-dragging and repeated excuses on ending leasehold are looking to the party at the top of the polls to challenge the government and provide support as we approach crucial local elections. The political economy around housing is changing fast. The New Right are becoming wary of the financialisation of a prime social need. As Donald J. Trump and JD Vance have observed: “People live in homes, not corporations.”

Victoria Derbyshire speaks with an asylum seeker from Iran, Nima Moradi "When I left my country, I wasn't thinking about the destination, I was thinking about being safe" "When I was in Greece I was thinking to go to Germany, but when I was granted asylum I thought, because I can speak English, I will go to England" "The Rwanda bill will not stop asylum seekers coming to the UK.. See how many people are trying to cross the channel last night.. People have access to information.. They know the bill has passed.. But still they will try to cross the channel.. Because they will think that they won't be amongst the 1% selected to go to Rwanda" "If there was a safe route for me to claim asylum.. For example if the UK had a center I could claim asylum.. I would do that instead of paying people smugglers £3,000 but I crossed because there was no safe route to apply for asylum"

Victoria Derbyshire, "Your previous. Conservative government was criticised for the state of the water industry and the levels of sewage dumped in our rivers and seas" "As well as making mistakes with the legal migration numbers, did you make mistakes when it came to water sewage as well?" Victoria Atkins, "We have an old sewage network built by the Victorians, that requires investment from the water companies.. In 2010 only 7% of waterways were measured, we changed the rules so now it's 100%" Victoria Derbyshire, "Great so we can now see how many more rivers and seas are polluted" Victoria Atkins, "We are measuring it so we have that evidence.. It's now up to the Labour government to ensure the promise water companies made of investing £10s of billions to upgrade sewage systems" Victoria Derbyshire, "Will you back Labour's plan for stricter regulation of the water industry including jailing water company bosses?" Victoria Atkins, "We we not only am I very supportive, we actually tried to improve the bill in the lords weeks ago.. Sadly labour did not accept our amendment" Victoria Derbyshire, "Jail for water bosses?" Victoria Atkins, "Err I I look I yes very much"

The Green Party's Caroline Lucas humiliates Reform UK's Zia Yusuf on #Newsnight "Your position is utterly incoherent" "You have provided no evidence that it's the Equalities Act that discriminates against white working class boys" "And when it comes to the wider issue of taking your word on anything you've said, it seems to be a muddled message" "When you said something about Robert Jenrick a few years ago, we are not to take it seriously, whereas now we are to take you seriously" "We've got Reform UK's Suella Braverman ripping up the Equalities Act" "We've got Richard Tice suggesting people will end up with far more expensive energy bills because he wants to go drilling in the north sea rather than using renewable energy" "Reform UK pretends to be an insurgent party, an anti establishment anti elite party, yet it's stuffed full of old Tory retreads" "It just doesn't add up" "People looking at this press conference this afternoon are going to feel that Reform UK doesn't know what its doing" "The interesting thing of course was Nigel Farage was trying to present the other spokespeople as a way of saying that it's no longer just about me, its' about all of us" "All of you were asked by the press 25 questions, and Nigel Farage answered all of them"

🚨 GODFREY BLOOM JUST TORCHED REFORM UK This isn’t coming from the left. This is coming from one of the most respected voices of the Brexit movement. Godfrey Bloom: Former MEP. Thatcherite. Free-market purist. Brexit pioneer. He backed Reform at the last election — and now says he won’t support them again. Why? Because Reform is filling its ranks with: • Failed Conservative MPs • Tax-scandal politicians • Anti-Brexit figures • Careerists and opportunists Bloom’s words were blunt: “you know people do you not by the company they keep.” Nigel Farage has pushed out genuine independents like Rupert Lowe and Ben Habib — and replaced them with establishment figures from the very system Reform claimed to oppose. That’s not renewal. That’s recycling. Reform UK was meant to be a break from the old order. Instead, it’s becoming a refuge for the old guard. And when even Godfrey Bloom walks away… you should ask why. Godfrey Bloom - The New Philosophers Advance UK Ben Habib

🚨 Andrew Tate's bumbling lawyer, Joseph McBride, speaks outside a courthouse in Miami after a hearing about the Tate's potential extradition to the UK. To address a few main talking points: 1. "Tate is not a flight risk because he cooperated with judiciary control in Romania." Tate had to check in at Bucharest periodically as part of his judiciary control requirements. If he did not, he would risk becoming an international fugitive and going back to jail. Tate had an unbelievably good deal in Romania. He was able to travel the world freely while charged with crimes as serious as allegedly raping a 15-year-old and trafficking a 17-year-old. If the Tate's were ever going to face trial in Romania, it was years and years away. They were never going to risk giving up the cushy deal they had been given. And this is important to consider when people (moronically) use the Tates complying with Romania as proof that they are not a flight risk for the UK. You are comparing: Being able to travel the world freely and live as normal for years and years while awaiting trial in Romania Vs Being likely incarcerated until trial in the UK (and the UK charges are trial ready) where they face up to life sentences if convicted of what they are charged with. So in my opinion, the Tate's behaviour in Romania does not mean they are not a flight risk to the UK. 2. "We haven't been given evidence like victim names, witness statements. We demand the evidence and police records from the UK." It's not unusual for the UK not to produce its full evidence at this stage. Extradition hearings aren't trials - they determine whether someone should be extradited, not whether they're guilty.

BREAKING:🚨 REFORM’S VACCINE FRAUD IS NOW ON FULL DISPLAY What just happened with Nadhim Zahawi exposed something very ugly inside Reform UK. A journalist asked about the mRNA rollout — and instead of answering, Zahawi and Farage attacked the question itself. Why? Because the truth is politically radioactive. Let’s be clear about who these people are: Nadhim Zahawi He was the Conservative minister who ran the UK’s Covid vaccine deployment — one of the most aggressive mRNA campaigns in British history. Mandates. Coercion. Travel restrictions. Social pressure. All of it happened on his watch. Now he’s being welcomed into Reform as if nothing happened. Dr David Bull Reform’s chairman. He has repeatedly praised mass vaccination campaigns and defended the Covid programme. He aligned himself with establishment medicine, not critics of it. Now he is supposed to be the voice of “free speech” on health? Richard Tice Reform’s former leader. He openly supported the government’s vaccine programme. He supported vaccine passports. He backed the idea that people who refused the jab should lose freedoms like flying. That is not resistance. That is compliance. So when a journalist dares to ask whether Reform actually questions the mRNA rollout, Zahawi explodes and calls it “a stupid question”. Of course he does. Because Reform is trying to pretend it represents vaccine sceptics while filling its leadership with the very people who enforced the system. This isn’t unity. It’s deception. You cannot claim to oppose authoritarian health policy while recruiting the architects of it. And you cannot build a freedom movement by importing ex-Cabinet ministers who still defend the biggest medical experiment in modern British history. Reform UK is not a clean break from the system. It is the system, rebranded.
