Reform UK: Richard Tice Denies CIVIL WAR After Nigel Farage SACKS Ben Habib

Richard Tice, newly appointed deputy leader of Reform UK, has denied there is a civil war at the heart of the party following a reshuffle of senior figures which saw Ben Habib ditched by Nigel Farage.

Mr Tice said the measures were all part of a natural growth plan for Reform, with their aim to professionalise and rapidly expand the party after winning five seats in the recent general election.

The appointment of Reform donor Zia Yusaf as new party chairman, a role until recently held by Tice, was said to be in an effort to exploit his experience of running a business and raising money for campaigning.

Former Reform UK deputy leader Ben Habib has expressed his “long held concern” on the leadership of the party, which had caused him to consider his position.

Mr Habib has been a major player in Reform, serving as a Member for the European Parliament for the then-Brexit Party.

Richard is right; you can't have a Deputy Leader who is not an MP. I hope Bem stays and is allowed to continue to contribute.

Ben Habib is extremely popular, I think people will be very disappointed if Reform don't find a place for him to stay in the party.

[lynnfowles]

Ben, you can still play a massive role in Reform UK... Reform members as I am... Hang on, Ben, it will come good... Nigel will hold your loyalty with a good position... You need to continue to stay and grow with the party....

Ben is the one who brought me to Reform. He is an asset and he should be treated as such.

[hrishikeshricky]

Ben Habib is a legend. His performance on Newsnight made me a Reform member and current donor - disgrace to let him go. Give Ben Habib his rightful flowers Reform

Don't let Ben go. He has a lot to offer, and has his finger on the pulse. Is very popular in the nation, and should be TOP of the party's list for by-elections.

[TheLuckyLeif]

Ben is very much needed. It is wonderful to listen to is eloquent insights.

[cherylwortley]

Ben should stay. He is the heart of reform and should be persuaded as he is much liked 😊

I really admire Ben Habib. He is a real asset to the Reform UK party. Please carry on Ben.

[Nora.........]

NO, NO, NO! Ben Habib did a lot of the heavy lifting for Reform. He deserved the position of Chairman, until he wins a seat at the very least. What a bloody insult.

[valpotter]

Big mistake if Ben has left the party. It does not look good for Reform. He has been the bedrock of getting Reform where they are today.

[grillerg]

Ben was one of the unsung heros of Reform UK. Such a shame they've pushed him out

[merylyndrain]

For goodness sake do not loose him, he is well liked and loved by the British electorate. Ben could be voted in next time. How about making him President? DONT LOOSE HIM. I beg you all.

[Ipdex]

Ben Habib is one of the most believable political types currently in politics. If Reform sack him they will be making a big mistake.

[AnitaMarnell]

Totally agree, Habib is a huge asset and getting rid of him is pure wrong

[MrKarlyboy]

Try keep Ben on board. He needs to be part of the success of Reform. He has earned it.

[terryjones]

Don’t lose Ben, he is more eloquent than most. Solid character.

[tinkerno]

Ben Habib is such a lovely, cleaver and loyal human being, sad he’s lost his position.

"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the Party." Ben

Ben Habib, is still our champion. I know he will continue to help the party grow. ❤️
