Britain's Conservative Party is one of the oldest and most successful political parties in history. Local elections in the UK have signalled that they are facing the prospect of being wiped out, imperilled by the rise of the right-wing Reform Party, headed by one of the most pervasive and divisive figures in British politics: Nigel Farage. Reform's success is also coming at the expense of Labour, whose voters are underwhelmed and unconvinced by the performance so far of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government. Hosts Nina Dos Santos and Owen Bennett Jones explore what makes Reform such a potent political threat that they could upend 100 years of Labour and Conservative rule, charting the party's rise from UKIP to Brexit to now. They speak to Gawain Towler, former Reform spokesperson and close political confidant of Nigel Farage, and Ben Habib, formerly deputy leader of Reform two men who understand the soul of the movement and the man who leads and embodies the party: Nigel Farage.

It's the day of Reform's big local election campaign launch in Birmingham. 10,000 people are expected to attend a Trump-style rally at the city's arena, with Reform themselves describing it as “the biggest ever launch rally in modern British political history”.And with new IPSOS polling showing that Nigel Farage tops the polling for British favoured next Prime Minister with 28pc - can he capitalise on his own popularity ratings and the less than impressive numbers for Kemi Badenoch (18pc) and lead the right to victory?The local elections will be his first test, and Kamal and Camilla assess the state of the nation as the other main parties get ready to join Reform in launching their campaigns.They also speak to former Reform deputy leader Ben Habib, a man who was forced out by Farage when he became leader, about whether the party is capable of sticking together and if he could be tempted to form a new party with fellow ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe.Producers: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneStudio Director: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

"Nigel Farage Has Been Badly Damaged. Zia Yusuf Must Be Sacked & Reform Must be Reformed" Ben Habib by New Culture Forum
In this episode, I discuss the inevitable Farage show, as I warned you all about before the elections, and also after the elections. Farage has always done this to a long list of political colleagues who have dared to challenge him on his ill advised positions, and recently he has done it to Ben Habib, Howard Cox, and now the fan favourite Rupert Lowe. It is a pattern that works for self interest and benefit - and as a nation Britain has no time for this nonsense.Read my conclusive recent piece on substack:https://www.theworldofmomus.com/p/farage-rupertlowe-reform-ukpoliticsBecome a Paid Substack Subscriber:https://www.theworldofmomus.comDonate:https://buymeacoffee.com/theworldofmomusConnect with me:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/theworldofmomusLink Tree: https://www.linktr.ee/theworldofmomus#SovietBritain #ukpolitics #farage #reform #reformuk

It's squeaky-bum time for our Prime Miniature Rishi Sunak this week... Jemma and Marina open with a discussion around the many elections taking place this week that could see things go from bad to worse for Rishi Sunak. And please God, deliver us from Susan Hall becoming the new London Mayor. Then, what's better: Twitter or X? The ladies discuss the worst rebrand of all time before moving on to an MP who this week rebranded himself from Tory blue, to Labour red. We're talking of course, about Dr Dan Poulter who has managed to find his principles so close to a general election - incredible coincidence. 30p Lee has been whinging again... this time about the banning of an old sitcom named Terry & June. Except it hasn't been banned at all. Not content with spouting nonsense about sitcoms, Lee moved on to spouting nonsense about Blackpool, resulting in Jemma and Marina having a good giggle about Lee's prehistoric vision of what he wants Britain to be. Spoiler: Get your headscarves and buckets out, ladies!Then it's onto the resignation of Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousaf, before a trigger warning discussion about Reform's Ben Habib and the shock remarks made about migrants drowning in the channel.To end, Jemma and Marina serve up some epic underrated tweets and finish with another musical masterpiece from The Marsh Family.

As the people of Wellingborough headed to the polls for a historic vote, hosts Aggie Chambre and Sascha O'Sullivan took a train to the East Midlands to see how by-elections really play out on the ground. Over the course of a month, they went door-knocking with the candidates, spoke to disenfranchised voters and, finally, stayed up all night to watch the count. They watched Reform's Ben Habib drive round in an gigantic, double-decker blue bus and Labour's Gen Kitchen show off her Taylor Swift friendship bracelets. They listened to the Liberal Democrat's Ana Savage Gunn regale stories of her former life as a police firearms officer ... and even managed to track down the elusive Tory candidate, Helen Harrison.And the duo consider what this show-stopping by-election result will mean for the upcoming general election.
