This analysis is absolutely bang on correct. Calling the police makes me think Zia Yusuf is a trojan horse - I cannot think of anything more calculated to destroy the party. I reckon it's finished now. I and a lot of other members and volunteers downed tools when we heard about Rupert Lowe being expelled. There is something strange about Farage's refusal to democratise and professionalise the party. I too began to think that he must be controlled opposition. It is a bit of a boys' club with no interest in harvesting talent outside the tiny clique around Farage. Why the secrecy and exclusiveness? It can only be because it is not what it appears to be. I reckon another serious party with people like Lowe, Suella Braverman, Jenrick, could steal support away from Reform.
Farage has played this move one time too often, he had huge credit from Brexit but has wasted it. This is such an obvious disaster of a move that either Yusuf has taken over and is a Muslim plant sent in to destroy it, or Farage is himself working for the other side now.
As a former enthusiastic NF supporter going back to the '90s and throughout his vitriolic harangues of the EU, I now see him as a two-faced, untrustworthy ego-tripper.
A commenter over on Matt Goodwin's site mentioned that Yusuf was a 2009 WEF Young Global Leader, though I can't find any confirmation of it. However, it would make some sense if one considers the characteristics of other YGLs and the chances that a muslim would support endorsing the forcible removal of other muslims, albeit illegals. The need for his financial support has perhaps had a significant persuasive effect on Nigel...
He seemed to get especially weak after his debanking episode with Coutts as well. I’ve seen screenshot images of WEF links for Yusuf but not had them confirmed. The only Muslim I’ve ever found convincing and consistently on our side is Raheem Kassam.
Who is the problem here? Farage with a delicate ego? Yusuf with an agenda? Personally I don't think it is Lowe, Habib, or Howard Cox, who all victims. The cosying up to Mullins, and hope not hate was equally loathsome. It is a sad state of affairs
Is it possible that Farage has been compromised? He successfully got Brexit, and that had to have made him a lot of enemies -- certainly people whose finances were hurt by Brexit and anyone who admired the EU's lack of democracy and thought the UK backward. It appears that something happened to Farage after his success that made him unable to function like a leader, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's payments from some entity or threats to expose something about him.
He was debanked very briefly, then restored. He’s always been weak on some issues, but this is such an obvious vast miscalculation at such an easy time to get it right that it looks like deliberate self destruction.
Deeply depressing isn't it. To top it all isn't "workplace bullying" in a bust-up between two male adults just the sort of effeminate wokery Reform were supposedly meant to be about getting rid of? In addition, to all your points, any Reform government would need to overcome the UK Supreme Court and the Judicial Appointments Commission First, a vastly different situation to the USA where Supreme Court appointees have to be approved by Congress and the President first. I fear we are doomed to continue witnessing a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. If this is Reform falling at the first hurdle then even they look destined to end up being part of the problem instead of part of the solution.
Terrible but accurate analysis, I really can’t believe Reform has a Muslim in the party. No Muslim is ever anything else but a traitor supporting Muslims.
The sooner the UK stops worrying about the petty stuff and look at the big picture AKA the Muslim takeover of their country the better.
And Farage is not a leader he’s just opened the door to his demise
Outstanding analysis of Farage, Daniel. Is his media career a further distraction for him I wonder.
As a Reform Party member I want him and the party to stand on a platform that would repeal every single piece of legislation that Labour introduce in this term. Forage needs to tell us what Labour and the Globalists are trying to do. They are wilfully destroying the country and atomising its citizens through Marxist malice.
Wake up everyone! It's happening in front of your eyes.
Thanks very much. This is so damaging because it repels all of us who want a genuine populist choice. Either Nigel has lost the plot completely or he’s been knobbled in some fashion.
It is clear that there are only two possibilities now for the UK. Either a new political party is formed, --because it looks like Reform is now fatally compromised., and that party arising from the ashes of Reform is successful in getting into power, or the likelihood of a civil war gets even greater. I think Nigel Farage is compromised in some way. Allying himself with a Muslim seems to be a real giveaway, that something has happened to him. Unless he has been controlled opposition all the time. The way he gave up and capitulated to Boris Johnson seems to be an indicator that he was compromised a while ago. Very sad to see this.
He’s either been that way all along, is genuinely an unaware idiot, or was recently turned. Whatever it is he’s been a disaster precisely when everyone needed Reform to be United, professional and populist.
An excellent and accurate analysis. I have been reading Ruperts posts on Facebook where he explains in detail the mechanations behind the scenes. He also describes the alleged bullying issue which was managed/advised by Parliamentary HR. He is a smart knowledgeable man with a great deal of experience.
They have made a bad judgement call to the detriment of the members and the Party.
In addition, they have provided an open goal to the opposition. I'm bitterly disappointed in their lack of maturity.
A lot of people in America missed the subtle but deliberate destruction of the conservative Congress when liberals ran as Republicans in Republican jurisdictions and then voted as Democrats when they were elected. We called them RINO's - Republican in name only. I wonder.....
He's not "controlled opposition", nor is he "the opposition". He's an opportunist, with backing from friends in finance and the conservative party, playing the role of a useful idiot for the establishment.
Farage has been around for long enough for anyone to be able to see through his gimmicks, if they wanted to. Farage is certainly a good talker, but he's not a visionary or revolutionary, doesn't have a plan or discernible values or ideals, and has demonstrated to be inept at building and managing organizations.
Yeah I agree. It makes me wonder if we'll have a "Farage takes his mask off" moment in the near future. Given all the water under the bridge, I don't see him becoming leader of the conservatives, but never say never with career politicians.
Hmm I think there is a very significant number of Telegraph-reading Colonel Bufton-Tufton types who blindly support the War of EU Aggression. So maybe Farage needs to play a finesseful line on that. But yes he doesn’t need to kiss Starmer’s arse on the subject either.
Yes that type loves it, and that’s who is appealing to. But it’s a tiny number. The demographic Establishment Tory Who Loves War is as useless and irrelevant in the UK as Liz Cheney is in the US. You won’t win anything appealing to that.
Farage altho charming is another equivocating globalist gatekeeper, a civic nationalist and a creature of his upper middle class mercantile background.
I was surprised and disappointed to read this, but I don't follow UK politics as closely as U.S. politics. I saw Nigel speak here in America a few years back and I was impressed. Hopefully he will get his act together. If he's been compromised then that probably won't happen. Farage is not a stupid guy and I think he acts very deliberately. Something you mention somewhat in passing which merits further elucidation and discussion is the British Deep State, which is ancient, very powerful, and seemingly under almost everybody's radar. Worth a post in the future, as I think they are extremely underrated in the mischief creation department these days, and they create a lot of mischief.

You're right, it's got to be one or both of those, simply doesn't make sense otherwise.
Add Habib, Widdecombe and form a new party
Depressing analysis but I can't disagree with a single word you have written. Musk's comment that Reform needs a new leader was prescient.
It was. Musk was spot on.
Who is the problem here? Farage with a delicate ego? Yusuf with an agenda? Personally I don't think it is Lowe, Habib, or Howard Cox, who all victims. The cosying up to Mullins, and hope not hate was equally loathsome. It is a sad state of affairs
Very, and sets us back e en further. Which makes it more likely to be deliberate.

Yes that’s a good additional point. Our judiciary and SC are even worse than the US versions.
PS: "Judicial Appointments Commission first" the above should read. My autocorrecter ambushed me!
Terrible but accurate analysis, I really can’t believe Reform has a Muslim in the party. No Muslim is ever anything else but a traitor supporting Muslims.
The sooner the UK stops worrying about the petty stuff and look at the big picture AKA the Muslim takeover of their country the better.

He’s killed off the last respect we had for him, with me and a lot of others.
Agreed totally

Thanks. It’s a terrible look and a terrible move, so bad that you can’t help but wonder if they are acting on orders or bribes.
A lot of people in America missed the subtle but deliberate destruction of the conservative Congress when liberals ran as Republicans in Republican jurisdictions and then voted as Democrats when they were elected. We called them RINO's - Republican in name only. I wonder.....
Yes, and Farage is looking ever more like that.
Everything you cite is correct but the straw that broke the lion's back was the mass importation of Muslims.
BTW I don't mean to hijack but... consent is now being manufactured about Syria. Be on guard is all I have to say.
I fully agree and realised this when I was in the Brexit party.
I left that party as a supporter, I was one of the candidates withdrawn at the last minute by Farage after he vowed that we were all standing.
I joined the English Democrats who are a genuine party with a leader who has genuine aims .
I’m seeing reports of wider expulsion of Reform members as well. All very self destructive and suspicious.
He's not "controlled opposition", nor is he "the opposition". He's an opportunist, with backing from friends in finance and the conservative party, playing the role of a useful idiot for the establishment.
Farage has been around for long enough for anyone to be able to see through his gimmicks, if they wanted to. Farage is certainly a good talker, but he's not a visionary or revolutionary, doesn't have a plan or discernible values or ideals, and has demonstrated to be inept at building and managing organizations.
Well this move is certainly massively inept, so much so that it’s exactly what you would do if you wanted to end Reform altogether.
Yeah I agree. It makes me wonder if we'll have a "Farage takes his mask off" moment in the near future. Given all the water under the bridge, I don't see him becoming leader of the conservatives, but never say never with career politicians.
