Reform UK’s Ben Habib: ‘We Are Here To Stay’ After Party Wins Four Seats

Reform UK Deputy Leader Ben Habib says “we are going to be here to stay” after the party won four seats.

“We’ve got all the ingredients to build a genuinely challenging party,” he told Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer.

Nigel Farage has won a UK parliamentary seat at his eighth attempt and hailed the prospect of a “huge” General Election result for Reform UK.

The party leader was declared MP for Clacton shortly after Lee Anderson became Reform’s first MP of the night.

Disappointed for Ben, Wellingborough don’t deserve him. Come and stand in Fylde, Ben.

Ben Habib great man. Reform very much on course for better things.

[christhomas]

I don’t understand why Ben didn’t get in; committed, eloquent, grounded…. they missed a trick.

[elkpaz]

Get this man into Parliament as soon as possible. Such a shame the constituency failed to recognise his quality this time.

[grumpyoldsodinacellar]

A great shame Ben didn't get a seat, he's a great asset to the party and could have been to the country. Hang in there Ben, cometh the hour, cometh the man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧👏👏👏👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It's crazy that Ben didn't get a seat. He is awesome. Onwards and upwards for Reform UK 🇬🇧 . Nigel in Parliament AND, eventually PM, is all I've ever wanted. It's going to happen 😊❤

[suekruse]

Ben you are one of the most decent people, sorry the people of Wellingborough didn’t wake up to what labour will do to our country, you are a winner in my eyes.Weldone we will stand with you to shake things up in next election.😍

[grahamhill]

I feel sorry for Ben, because he’s just as passionate as Nigel Farage about the well being of our country! 🇬🇧
Follow, support and vote for Reform UK when and where you can, Local, Council and General Elections!

Please talk about the number of votes !!!!.... MSM certainly will not, so you must !!! Labour only got 33% of the vote, Reform got 14.4% approx half ....yet only 4 seats compared to Labours 400+, and LibDems 61 and yet .... Reform got 1 million more votes than the LibDems !!!! Thats NOT representing the people ....the system MUST change !!

[Priscilla-LMcMurrough]

I agree!!! We are here to stay Reform UK!!!

[lawsonspedding]

Ben Habib should have been successful !

[dejayne]

The biggest take away for me was how ridiculously unfair our voting system is. Given the number of votes Reform got as a percentage it's a disgrace that we've ended up with more LibDems in parliament than Reform members.

[Colin]

The vote count for Starmer's own constituency was down by 50%, total votes for Labour was hardly any different from the defeat of Corbyn in 2019, yet this time it results in a landslide victory, totally bizarre and unrepresentative system we have !

[debtaylor]

Such a shame he did not win his seat...

[sharonrogers]

Sorry Ben didn't win, a true gentleman 😢
