Ben Habib on Reform's Opportunity, UK Economy, National Identity & Brexit | Peter McCormack Podcast

[@davey7004]

Ben is on top of his game, an asset to Reform and I would be proud to have him as leader of our country!🇬🇧

[@LifesAbe-ach]

Instead of the establishment Farage ? ... NF is a old school trough groveller .

[@hosephanerothe1440]

Totally agree. nigel is not the future we need !

[@PaulCrawford-wf4lt]

Ben communicates with such clarity and makes so much sense - A pleasure to listen to.

[@shelleyscloud3651]

Love Ben. He’s a highly credible, and IMO would be an excellent, future PM.

[@grahamt5924]

💯

[@johnharrison2764]

This is a 'smashing interview/chat' Ben is so clear with his explanation and spot on with the issues.

[@EllenMckean]

Wish Ben was in the Reform party I love listening to him, he speaks from the heart and a lot of the British people relate to him

[@fl-ri-]

Too bad he was betrayed. I would have left too if I was him

[@stitcheruk1150]

Ben will soon be back 100% with Reform. Even now he talks about ‘WE’ when speaking of Reform.

[@SilverSixpence888]

He is, isn't he? He is still in the party I think.

[@davidbarrass5210]

If you have listened properly, he keeps referring to being part of reform. Just because he was replaced as deputy leader doesn't mean he's no longer part of the party.

[@rossrennie182]

I agree 100% we want our country back Ben

[@stitcheruk1150]

Pity that this podcast will not be shown on mainstream TV. Would be educational for so many on problems facing the UK.

[@davidc3850]

Ben is superb. I really wish he could stand for Reform for Parliament as we really need him. He speaks total sense, with clarity and fully connects with normal people.

[@JupiterThunder]

Very intelligent and also able to connect. Reform are idiots to have demoted him, complete and utter idiots.

[@mons2581]

Ben is the best. Would make a great PM

[@William366Evans]

100% agree

[@Globaldave1970]

Only 1374 views or this. Ben on top form here teaching me lots of things. Two very intelligent guys.

[@onetwothreefourfive12345]

Ben Habib is a great guy. And he's completely right. The voters keep sending clear messages, peacefully and democratically, then nothing ever changes despite sending a clear message

[@Wanderingwookie]

The more I listen to this man the more I like him. He’s bang on with everything he says. Why anybody would disagree with him in terms of policy is beyond me. I’d gladly vote for him over farage all day long

[@grahamt5924]

I was thinking the same thing. I would be happy with him running the country.

[@yvonneflanagan2312]

Absolutely agreed, much better party leader and statesman

[@NTL578]

Him or Zia I believe will take over before the general election.

[@kynelevingston5704]

Excellent conversation thank you. Ben needs to be in frontline politics asap!

[@76madmatt]

ben is a fantastic man so much time for him

[@LimmatRain]

This is one of the best interviews you’ve done. It isn’t about left versus right.

[@Signals927]

I am 87 years old and I pray that my country finds it's old self again and I pray that politicians remove their blindfolds and wake up and see what is happening to our once wonderful country.

[@angelabateman4650]

Ben Habib speaks so much sense, absolutely think this man is wonderful 👏👏

[@petereames3041]

This is a great conversation. Thankyou. It really irritates me how many people in this country believe that more government is the answer. There is so much ignorance out there on this. I do what I can to push back, but it's not easy.

[@Phucket24]

What a brilliant interview with Ben Habib 100 respect to Ben

[@lynstoneham]

Iv really enjoyed listening to Ben Habib very knowledgeable

[@dembydish]

Ben surprised me, really liked this interview/discussion.

[@andysmith758]

What a brilliant discussion thank you

[@chunbaouk]

It's very engaging to just hear two intelligent people talk honestly and openly. Ben is a real treasure and I hope to see him back at the heart of Reform's inevitable rise in the next few years. They'd be fools not to welcome him. Ben and Rupert Low represent most closely what this Reform voter is looking for.

[@pmarsh6790]

Absolutely. Both talk common sense policies which would get Britain back to being a liberal democracy rather than the lop-sided autocracy it has become

[@davidbarrass5210]

Either as business secretary or even chancellor. I think he has the qualities to do Either job extremely well.

[@IanParker]

Great episode - Thank you. I voted for Ben at the last GE

[@Janet-g1y]

Such a shame he didn’t win his seat.

[@foxate]

Aside from the video/audio issues, the conversation’s brilliant, Ben hits the nail on the head on so many issues

[@LenyGreen-h2z]

My admiration and respect for Ben, if Nigel Farage got rid of him, it’s very obvious that Nigel is not going to deliver what the country needs now! Sorry, but we need to be clear and transparent like Trump, Ben we need more people like you!!!

[@MadelineMcneill]

Vote and join REFORM to save the Country.

[@Godskidsug]

Ben left😲

[@juneirvine3290]

Ben is brilliant and needs to be in Parliament and hopefully with Reform!

[@user-zz9gn2dc3l]

Yes agree with eliminating business tax. And I think inheritance tax must be abolished too. It is immoral!

[@LifesAbe-ach]

But only for Farmers ... The landed class .

[@villhelm]

No, it should be scrapped for everyone.

[@traceyanderson4827]

We need more like this, and more dialogue about all of these subjects.

[@anthonymichaelwilson8401]

You got to like Ben honest 😊

[@SiTheSly]

Excellent interview Peter. Really enjoyed it. Thanks

[@sandratown9691]

Always great to listenvto Ben Habib

[@rosalindchurcher8028]

This has been a brilliant conversation. We can always learn something from Ben.

[@stephenfaulder1747]

Ben has it in a nutshell. 🎉 This guy cerrainly deserves to be in government. 👍

[@LynStrawford]

We are piss off but Reform will be our saviour.

[@DC0485]

❤ brilliant chat #VoteReformUK

[@paranormalchannelx1307]

BEN WE NEED YOU 💕

[@TheWorldofMomus]

Really good conversation. We would be in a much better place if Ben was the leader of Reform.

[@markyNUFC80]

First videoing have listened to of yours. Do love Ben, man speaks so much sense. Subscribed and will look forward to future videos

[@thomasbentele2468]

"Ditch net zero", yes that would truly help.

[@markfrancis5164]

Fantastic, wide ranging deep discussions on the pressing issues of the state and the individual in Britain today. Instant new sub.

[@richardwhite1120]

Hear hear

[@joycawthorne8215]

Ben is great 🇬🇧🩵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@pauljohnson1664]

I am surprised this isn't getting more traction. Very good interview.

[@stephenparker5421]

I want this guy to be our next prime minister

[@hughbeeson8854]

The problem is not immigration, it is the immigrants themselves. Many immigrants arriving in the United Kingdom now are incompatible culturally. Until recently our immigrants have come mainly from Commonwealth countries and have integrated well. Recent arrivals from the Middle East have no wish to integrate.

[@Bluejohn]

I wish Ben would settle his differences with Reform and re-join, if he is unhappy with certain aspects of the party surely he would be more likely to change those things from within.

[@DillyDolittle]

Brilliant conversation 👏

[@garethmorgan8490]

What a fantastic interview...!!!

[@feengringers]

“Thieves of private property pass their lives in chains; thieves of public property in riches and luxury.” - Cato the Elder. That quote reveals the intentions. There is a reason the government is being flooded with lawyers. They know how to navigate the law. Everyone should read 'A Storm Before The Storm'.

[@davidbarrass5210]

I think Ben is absolutely correct, Reform need to start assembling candidates for their shadow cabinet. Get them out their speaking and getting themselves known ready for a future general election, it could be in as little as 2 yrs if the UK economy goes tits up. Ben would be a good shout for business secretary or even chancellor.

[@nongfuspring2916]

Great conversation

[@roslynj5263]

I love Ben and would like to be able to vote for him in 2029. I would rejoin Reform if Ben was the leader of the Party.

[@NTL578]

I think he will eventually.

[@EmmaTeape]

Just subscribed like yr content . Great convo thank u . Luv Ben ❤ clever man !

[@wilsonbennett659]

Reform are slowly moving the Overton window, a party of common sense that actually understands the pulse of the majority of voters... Ben came across really well in this conversation.

[@SP-cx2qi]

They are all grifters. Humans are not capable of doing the right thing, they are too easily influenced. Get them all out and let Artificial intelligence govern once the technology is capable of doing so.

[@ianrichardson9950]

They not only don't know how to run a business, they couldn't run a household budget!

[@davidc3850]

They couldn't run a bath !

[@sylviaduffin4812]

Reeves needs help to sort her credit card out!!!

[@pmarsh6790]

Yep even those of us who've never run a business know the effect of increasing the cost of employing staff! But having common sense has never been a Ministerial requirement!

[@raymondjohnson2758]

For my money, this Geza is the best politician in the UK

[@kurtgodel5236]

A true Pakistani. Not British-born trash.

[@somethingintheair5373]

One of. His skills would be best used as chancellor, in fact he would make a fantastic chancellor, with Nigel as PM. We need Nigel’s skills as a politician with 30yrs experience, and great connections in the US. But, my goodness, we need Ben’s skills in Parliament!

[@somethingintheair5373]

@@kurtgodel5236😂😂😂 Race bating??? Fact is, he is both Pakistani and British, and very proud of his British heritage. And his values are far, far more British than Pakistani.

[@charlierob4377]

How can you not say that Brexit is a massive success. 🎉

[@1ForTheShieldz]

Fantastic interview ❤

[@Migi1991]

Ben habib is definitely the best politician in the country… he should be prime minister, reform were totally insane to kick him out..I can’t fully support them after that, I hope Nigel reconsiders.

[@petereames3041]

Why did they kick him out?

[@Migi1991]

@ because he didn’t win his seat In the election.. disgraceful behaviour

[@GodsOwnPrototype]

He didn't win in the election, he's been asking for party democratisation & Yusuf offered them a lot of money so now he's Chairman & Ben is gone.

[@elainewalton1494]

I think they are very clever by removing him out.... he is able to speak a lot more about issues that they may not and to a wider audience... he is able do more interviews like this... very clever move if you ask me 😉

[@ethandale2012]

Absolutely fantastic interview, well done to all involved!!!

[@AlexiaKnight-hook]

❤ Ben 🕊️🫶🏻🇬🇧💫

[@chrisprior1225]

It's been a good listen, but do sort out the video replays. I did previously see the congressional hearing from the American border chef. It was worth a watch. So perhaps a link would help. Ben is a great spokesman for Reform. We must get him into parliament one way or another.

[@duncanmclean6416]

Never heard of Ben Habib till lately. My ignorance. Great to see in the wings we have a leader.

[@dazag73]

55:47 for two minutes Ben absolutely nails it here. Just when you think you've reached peak Ben 😮

[@sooky2253]

We have given up on criminal justice, but what is happening with Sharia, the parallel system of justice...

[@DavidRobinson-rj2sp]

Rachel from Complaints couldn't run a bath.

[@anubisplays1421]

Wow a politician that actully understands what's happened.

[@alexandersometsby5284]

Ben is fantastic could listen to him all day. Bless you Ben

[@robertreynolds2702]

Ben ,I am beginning to feel that Richard and Nigel are going off track and making silly mistakes, please have a word with them.

[@somethingintheair5373]

Or maybe you are over thinking it. Decide what you want. For instance, I want an end to our “unwanted guests”, a considerable reduction in the legal ones, an end to net zero BS, small state and low taxes, free speech, and an end to this woke nonsense in education. If that’s what you want, too, then vote Reform. Forget about hurty words from Richard, or some sentence from Nigel that people pick apart and make something out of it. Simply decide what you want, and if Reform offer those things (or most of them, don’t expect any party to agree with everything you want), then vote for them.

[@hughmuir3063]

The Conservatives broke my ties with their party, and REFORM gained my vote because they have the Conservative policies from old.

[@seansinfield6716]

Hi Peter, please run for cabinet in Bedford. I've lived in Bedford. I will get as many people as I can to vote for you and reform. If you run.

[@BartholomewJamesStranger]

Let’s hope so… I noticed soon as Nigel started to say he was going to run they attacked him like they do Trump it’s strange isn’t it

[@seanfindlay1521]

I was a remainer/liebor voter. I think everybody is underestimating Reform.

[@GB-qu1kq]

We have brown field sites in many towns and cities with all the amenities and the utilities connections such as water, sewers, electricity, gas and telephone connections available around the country! No one wants to use them or to knock down buildings that are not fit for human habitation, because they say they are too expensive to demolish! We want to be green? Yes. Well a lot of those old uninhabitable buildings have resource's also which we waste. Bricks, slates etc, but we just throw them away if we do build or leave buildings standing to deteriorate to dangerous levels! Instead of building on green belt and destroying agricultural land we should be building on Brown Field Sites. Common Sense seems to have been thrown out of the equation completely and it is costing our country and it's Taxpaying Citizens a fortune and not just in monetary terms! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@ChrisShetler]

Vote Reform

[@angier9283]

Ive always said id be happy if i had enough food in my fridge/freezer..and pay my bills. But thats really not good enough is it, you need work/life balance and a little to enjoy.. but i havent enough to cover my bills and food 😢 this is rediculous, im a home carer

[@barbaracleverly9058]

Garrulous host. We’re here for Ben!

[@justin3606-j8l]

We've got to head down the US route, we cannot keep going with this appalling political class. Commercial nous required to get us out of the sh1te, can't come soon enough. The farmers could easily unseat Starmer's mad hatred of our country.

[@DM-fs9gw]

Really like Ben, he deserves better than Reform in my opinion

[@JohnClaydon-rx4bo]

Ben would be a great prime minister , if only

[@ChrisShetler]

If Badenoch doesn't think she's got a problem with REfORM. Then she is deluded.

[@andrewhaigh3646]

Why isn't Ben Habib at the centre of the Reform Party??

[@1980Empirical]

Him & Nigel fell out ☹️

[@yvonneflanagan2312]

Nigel wanting to be king pin!

[@grycripps]

Years ago businesses could afford to pay employee wages and taxes, that has now changed and no one can afford anything. So what changed? The devaluation of fiat currencies due to money printing used by governments to keep paying ever growing sovereign debt. The selling of British assets to foreign "investors" so our money goes to foreign governments and hedge funds. I am 58 years old and have only ever seen politicians making the same decisions of making things worse, while lining their own pockets with corruption. This current system was always going to fail and politicians have just kept kicking the can down the road making the problems bigger and harder to solve. It has now become unsolvable and will break spectacularly. It really worries me seeing stupid people like Starmer doing really dumb deals with the likes of Black Rock!

[@Lindsay-t2e]

Not a dumb deal for 2TKS . His back pockets will be bulging.

[@redhorsetraining157]

this was a very enlightening session thank you 🙏🏻

[@hermit1255]

Ben Habib for PM

[@sylviaduffin4812]

Trump is going to offer free trade to the UK if we wave goodbye to the EU. Starmer said he wiil go with the E U. Then the country will pay 25% trade tariff. The policies of Reform are good. Nigel/Richard are not the right ones to lead it. Ben is the one.

[@davidcooke8059]

You think a FTA with the US would be beneficial to the UK?

[@SilverSixpence888]

Ben Habib for PM 2029.

[@hughmuir3063]

We need a DOGE department, with real teeth, in the UK government. Dennis Healey was chancellor of the exchequer at the time, and he went to get funds from the IMF.

[@Star1957-s5l]

The challenge now is to bring you back into reform with you reform is 100 times a better party I just hope you and Nigel can sort out your differences for the sake of England

[@dazag73]

For the sake of the UK!

[@yvonneflanagan2312]

Nigel won’t ….. he wants to be the one in charge. And do things his own way, and he won’t take advice or back down, just bulldozers ahead. The party shouldn’t be about one person as leader. Ben is a challenge to Nigel because he is intelligent and personable!

[@nzreggae2534]

The only viable patriotic political option Reform UK party leader has publicly declared: He is not at all concerned with how many English people are in England vs foreigners. Deportations are impossible. Has also forecasted an inevitable defeat to the growing population, cultural and legal dominance of Islam in the United Kingdom in the coming decades. Go England.

[@Globaldave1970]

Woah! People born here are English. We are Civic Nationalists. People who come here must integrate if not assimilate. (Big topic). Deportations certainly not impossible (big topic). No, not a 'defeat'. We need to (and will) produce a charter for British Islam. Of course Muslims are allowed to practice at home or in their place of worship, same as any other religion (Mosques will need to be monitored because of history of hate preachers/preaching. Some of the things in the charter are No religion in schools , or workplaces, no burkas in public, no Sharia courts. No special rights for Islam. Any (potential) terrorist or Radical Islamist will be met with imprisonment and deportation. This is just a flavour. Govt Documents (currently being prepared) run into hundreds of pages. I suggest you join UKIP or some other Far Right party. From a Reform member.

[@dtex_zero]

Ben should be in Zia position. It's clear he actually cares about the country, and isn't just some business man spending money for political infulence.

[@MrMarktheblue]
