Ben Habib has today posted a statement to X to announce the creation of a new political party: Advance UK.
Ben Habib was a key figure in Reform UK from March 2023 until November 2024. He served as co-deputy leader alongside David Bull from October 2023 to July 2024, having previously been a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the Brexit Party.
Statement from Ben Habib:
My team and I have been working furiously for the last few months to establish the foundations of a political party which is capable of saving our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
I am delighted to launch that party today: Advance UK.
The party will stand for the entire country in all its parts and for all its people. We will fight for nation, freedom of speech, democracy and equality before the law.
We will not flinch. We will not pander to false narratives designed to damage our country.
We will be for the British people and by the British people.
The party will itself be democratic. We will assemble the brightest and bravest in our college and executive. They will work tirelessly, without fear or favour, to formulate the policies and recruit the candidates required to fulfil our mission.
If our country is to be saved it must be saved by its people. No one person is capable of doing so. Only by assembling the best and bravest can we succeed.
Today I am calling on you to join our party. Our first goal is to achieve 30,000 members. We are discounting our membership fee to £10 per annum until that goal is achieved.
When it is, we will have the required support to become a fully fledged party. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you. When we get to 30,000 members, I will donate £100,000 to the party to ensure we have the fire power to move forward.
With your support and only with your support can we fulfil our mission. Please join our party at https://advanceuk.org.uk.
