Reform UK's Richard Tice Torn Apart On BBC Question Time Over Brexit: 'We've Been Duped'

Richard Tice was called out on BBC Question Time over BrexitRichard Tice was called out repeatedly on BBC Question Time last night by an irate member of the audience who tore into Brexit.Reform UK, formerly known as the Brexit Party, won the Runcorn and Helsby by-election last week and took hundreds of council seats across England in the local elections.Led by prominent eurosceptic Nigel Farage, Reform UK now claims it is the main opposition party due to its popularity (despite having just five MPs).BBC Question Time discussed which party should be most worried about Reform’s success last night – only for a member of the audience to completely tear into the right-wing movement altogether.Addressing Reform UK’s deputy leader Tice as he sat on the panel, the member of the public said everything Tice has said was “incredible”.The man said: “What we’ve seen with Brexit, under every single metric, our country is poorer, it’s a fact. “Everything we are trying to do on the outside of that is just nibbling away at the edges, so when people say we have no money in our pocket, Brexit and what you stood for has caused that.”Tice cut in: “Absolute nonsense and toddle!”But the audience member continued, pointing out that Reform have been criticising the India trade deal.He said: “I thought we were supposed to trade with the rest of the world, all these big opportunities, and as soon as there’s a deal with another country, you’re complaining about it. This is hypocrisy at its finest!“We’ve been duped as a nation. Brexit was the biggest con to enforce economic sanctions on ourselves and it has affected every single facet of life, and I know there’s a lot of Brexit remorse.“It’s not about ideology towards the European Union or anything like that, they’re our closest trading partner and we’ve lost so much because of it. We’re suffering because of it, and that’s a fact.”Man in black top tears into Reform and calls out Brexit for the disaster that it is #BBCQT"I find it incredible what Richard Tice is saying""What we've seen with Brexit, under every single metric our country is poorer""Everything we do on the outside of that is just… pic.twitter.com/02QbFgXczV— Farrukh (@implausibleblog) May 8, 2025Similarly, the general secretary of the University and College Union Jo Grady laid into Reform UK while sitting on the panel.“Not a single political party in the UK are offering solutions to the issues we face,” she said, claiming Labour has moved away from the average working class person.Grady continued: “But I want to be really really clear: I don’t think Richard Tice or Nigel Farage from Reform have the answer.”She said Reform are offering “nothing for working people”.Related...Reform's Richard Tice Was Asked What The Party Has Achieved In Local Government – And Couldn't AnswerRichard Tice Says Nigel Farage Is 'Rock Solid Behind Ukraine' But The Facts Say OtherwiseRichard Tice Cornered On BBC Question Time Over Reform UK's Attitude Toward Ukraine
