I first noticed Ben Habib several years ago when he appeared on BBC Question Time. I noticed he spoke intelligently with common sense, and he was forthright and charismatic. He was invited periodically as a guest on Question Time.
Ben was a political ‘Brexiteer’ and went on to help establish and grow the Reform political party in the UK. He became a regular, frequent, and popular guest on Talk TV and GB News.
When Nigel Farage stepped up to join Reform as its political leader shortly before the UK General Election in 2024, Ben was side-lined and, in effect, forced to resign on principle from that party. There was a big disconnect because Nigel did not respond well to Ben urging him to ‘democratise’ Reform. Zia Yusef was then established as a senior leader in Reform and there was a serious, public fall-out with popular Reform MP, Rupert Lowe. This led to Rupert becoming an ‘Independent’ MP and going on to form a ‘movement’ entitled Restore to challenge the Labour Government (with public supporters regardless of their political leanings) over the leading issues of the day in the UK.
Ben invited Rupert to join him in establishing a political party but, for now, Rupert decided to decline focusing instead on the Restore movement.
Ben was the only political figure prepared to speak at Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ (UTK) rally on September 13th 2025 which was hugely supported by many ordinary people and widely misrepresented by the mainstream media (I think disgracefully misrepresented with only commentator Trevor Phillips prepared to describe the event more honestly). The turnout was massive with helicopter footage clearly showing the extraordinary level of public support. Elon Musk speaking remotely as a guest-speaker and supporting Tommy also caused considerable mainstream consternation! Ben has stated in various podcast interviews that Tommy has clearly been a ‘political prisoner’ which, indeed, looks the case to any reasonable person following events. The mainstream narrative continues to be that anyone supporting Tommy or Ben is ‘far right’. I strongly object to this labelling.
I myself have now joined Advance UK. This is the first time in my life I have joined a political party or seen the need to take a political position considering the ‘Two Tier’ capture of the police force and the justice system in the UK – and the appalling authoritarian developments, and the destruction of the UK’s economy and harmony, under the current Labour government and previous Conservative government in the UK.
Indeed, my whole blog provides a chronological record of various, suspicious and worrying developments nationally and internationally becoming ever-more apparent since the covid ‘pandemic’.
The best way to learn more about Advance UK is via its website.
There are many YouTube videos generated by Ben or where Ben appears as a guest.
Ben is also the chair of another organisation which is ‘cross-party’, the Great British PAC.
And when Ben ‘launched’ the Advance UK organisation on 27th September 2025 in Newcastle, it became clear that ‘others’ were conspiring to sabotage Ben and the new party as the original venue was targeted to cancel the event – which is what happened. This targeting of venues to the extent of them cancelling agreed Advance UK events is now looking like a pattern.
So, along with GB News and Talk TV cancelling Ben – one of their hitherto most popular guests, it’s looking like dirty tactics all round is it not?
