Why does Nigel Farage keep doing this? Even if he feels personally slighted, Ben Habib is still well liked by Reform members Add that to his recent interviews, where he said, "If we politically alienate the whole of Islam, we will lose", and ruled out mass deportations... This is... alienating not just potential voters, but core supporters Someone who he takes seriously needs to tell him that he's making people lose faith in Reformshow more

Thank you Connor

Has someone got something on Nigel Farage that he's become such a cuck?

Reform are a joke. Nigel is weak sauce, typical opportunistic career politician without any convictions

I trust Ben Habib more than I trust Nigel Farage. Sorry, but this was the final straw for me - unless they change the set up of the Party and have real members, with a real say, forget it.

I think Reform are stepping into dangerous territory recruiting failed conservative MPs. Ben is excellent and the whole situation should have been handled better.

Controlled opposition, that's all he is. Fair enough the boats might stop under him...but that's about it.

I am a huge fan of Farage but was there really any need to say what he said? Couldn’t he have just said we’ve had our differences but I wish Ben well.

Good God. Why is Nigel making this about ego?! 🤯

I like Ben a lot, reform went on about it there membership increase today. But when renewal comes up, could be a shock 😳 that previous member don’t renew their membership. I believe Ben was poorly treated, not even a thank you for his contributions.

So very disappointed that Ben is leaving, some people are blaming Ben, however, I think this appalling response by Nigel shows exactly where the fault lies. When a party loses a talent like Ben they have a problem, however, when the leader responds in such a childish and inappropriate manner you have to wonder if they even actually have a future. We so need Reform to succeed, the Conservatives haven’t learned anything from their trouncing so Reform are all we have, however, that means those at the top need to act like leaders and not prima donnas. Losing Ben is a big mistake they need to get him back and put him a position that uses his talent and intellect. Reform still have an awful lot to learn they can’t afford to lose one of their best. And we can’t afford to lose Reform.
