Ben Habib: ‘Money Is a Big Motivator for Farage’

Reform UK’s former Deputy Leader speaks to Adam Bienkov about Nigel Farage and Nathan Gill, the rumours around X owner Elon Musk’s support for the party – and the hidden influence of its major donors

“I think there’s a very high probability that Reform will implode between now and the General Election,” the party’s former Deputy Leader Ben Habib believes. “They can’t seem to go from one week to the next without a major slip-up, so how can they possibly run the country?”

Byline Times spoke to Habib in the wake of a series of political setbacks for Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage and his closest associates.

In the weeks before the interview, Farage became embroiled in a scandal involving Reform’s former Welsh Leader, Nathan Gill, who pleaded guilty to taking bribes as an MEP to advance pro-Russian talking points.
