Suella Braverman accuses Tories of betrayal as she defects to Reform UK
www.bbc.co.uk
The MP was unveiled as Reform's latest recruit by leader Nigel Farage at a rally, bringing the number of the party's sitting MPs to eight.

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has become the latest Conservative MP to defect to Reform UK.

She becomes the third sitting Tory MP to join Nigel Farage’s party in the last eleven days, and takes Reform’s tally of MPs to eight.

Unveiled at a rally in London, Braverman told Reform supporters she had also resigned her Tory membership of 30 years, adding: “I feel like I’ve come home.”

Her defection comes hot on the heels of Robert Jenrick and Andrew Rosindell, who also left the Conservatives earlier this month.

      You’re just showboating because we’ve had nine Putin-friendly Reform UK policies so far:

      1. building more gas turbine power stations
      2. cutting stamp duty on the biggest properties
      3. pulling out of the European Defence Fund
      4. cancelling our human rights act
      5. repealing the Equalities Act
      6. “scrapping” the BBC
      7. stopping the boats (any method that really does it will be basically either impossible or illegal)
      8. defending our borders (more insular isolationism is what Putin really loves)
      9. deporting illegal migrants (which would quickly become an ICE-style scandal deporting natives who look different and dwarf the Windrush scandal)
