Ben Habib has Left Reform UK

Ben Habib ran Reform UK along with Richard Tice while Nigel was away but it seems the return of Farage has caused problems , I was surprised and disappointed Ben Habib was demoted from Chairman of Reform and replaced by Zia Yusuf , nothing against Yusuf but it just seemed odd , I've also been disappointed by the direction Reform have been taking , importing Tories another one joined today , not speaking up for the jailed ,turning his back on deporting illegals and claiming Brexit had been done .... Brexit has been started it isn't done , infact under this PM it's being undone it was so poorly put together by the Tories.

Seems to me Farage just want's to destroy the Tories and recreate the Tory party in his own image , I think I've become a floating voter again.

Wow! Not a word about this on GBNews! Not even the ticker tape!
I've always liked Ben Habib, this is very sad news.
I wonder if this is why no conservatives jumped ship to Reform before the election? There will have been whisterings in the halls no doubt, so some would naturally have thought "stay put" if they knew there was a division in the Reform party too. "Better the devil you know....." and all that!

Seems like Farage is dumping those who want actual reform , Ben has a lot of support Nigel seems happy to dump us in favour of traditional Conservative voters , Conservative party 2.0.

Several years or more ago Farage's wife left him.
He then gave up smoking.

During brexit he seemed like an honest person.
Not a chance.
Hes a common thief and a robot.

I had faith in him and was thinking he could the next PM.

Ive lost all faith in any of this system.

Transport Secretary Louise Haigh has admitted pleading guilty to an offence connected with misleading the police while a parliamentary candidate in 2014, Sky News can reveal.

Sky News understands Ms Haigh appeared at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court six months before the 2015 general election, after making a false report to officers that her mobile phone had been stolen.

Ms Haigh said she was "mugged while on a night out" in 2013. She then reported the incident to the police and gave officers a list of items she believed had been taken - including a work mobile phone.

It gets better.

However, three separate sources claimed she made the false report to benefit personally, with two of the sources alleging she wanted a more modern work handset that was being rolled out to her colleagues at the time.

The now cabinet minister had been working as a public policy manager at Aviva, but two sources said she lost her job at the insurance firm because of the incident.

Her government profile states she left this role in 2015 before becoming the MP for Sheffield Heeley at that year's general election.

If Ben Habib and Lee Anderson were to get together I think great things could come of that , this dodgy bunch of Champaign socialists need gone.

Louise Haigh has this morning resigned her position as Secretary of State for Transport over the revelation she lied to police.

Rachel Reeves should also consider her position.

The plot thickens.

Officers investigating Louise Haigh's "stolen" phone believed a photo she submitted of the handset had been taken after the alleged theft, Sky News has been told.

Two sources said after looking at metadata attached to the photo - information that often details when photos were captured - officers believed it had been taken after the date at which Ms Haigh alleged the phone had been stolen.

This government are going to be one of death by a thousand cuts , Reeves , Haigh ... I wonder who will be next.

I thoiught she had been called out because she switched her phone on after reporting it stolen?
I also heard she was caught because she sent txt messages to friends (not allowed on her workphone apparently) again after she reported the phone stolen.
What IS very interesting is that she claims she told Starmer but he disagrees and denies it...... just like he did when he said the 2 seperate cases brought by 2 seperate police forces at the same time against Saville, never passed his desk and he never knew anything about it.
I think on those odds, I know who I would believe!
