Ben Habib laid into Nigel Farage's domination of Reform, saying his position as effective owner was 'unsustainable'.
Reform's ousted deputy leader has slammed the 'undemocratic' party warning Nigel Farage risks being 'surrounded' by sycophants'.
The intervention, in an article for the Sunday Times, came after tensions flared in the wake of the election. Ben Habib laid into Mr Farage's domination of the insurgents, saying his position as effective owner was 'unsustainable' In his article, Mr Habib pointed to Reform's status as a limited company with Mr Farage as the majority shareholder.
'To date, Nigel's control has allowed decisions and progress to be made rapidly. But this is not a sustainable model. Apart from anything else, Reform cannot make the argument for democracy, let alone champion it, with such a glaring democratic deficit.' Nigel Farage and his Reform MPs posed for cameras in Westminster last week after arriving for the start of the new term after their election breakthrough
