Ben Habib is a former MEP and Leader of Advanced UK who brings his perspective on the erosion of civil liberties in the United Kingdom under the current Labour government.
Expect to learn about Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s controversial mandatory digital ID proposal, the concerning rise in arrests for free speech violations in Britain, and how these developments represent what Habib describes as a systematic dismantling of civil liberties. The discussion examines how digital ID systems primarily impact law-abiding citizens rather than addressing illegal migration, the relationship between diminishing democratic accountability and increasing government control, and Advanced UK’s vision for constitutional reform.
This conversation explores the parallels between global governance trends and national sovereignty, the economic impacts of current UK policies, and Habib’s assessment that Britain is approaching a critical juncture that will determine whether traditional British liberties can be preserved. Habib outlines his party’s strategy for contesting all constituencies in the 2029 general election with a platform focused on reversing what he views as decades of constitutional damage.
