BREAKING: Suella Braverman Defects to Reform
Suella Braverman, the former home secretary, has defected from the Conservatives to Reform UK, telling a press conference: “I feel like I’ve come home.” The Telegraph has more.
Braverman becomes the latest major name on the Conservative Right to join Farage’s party, less than a fortnight after Robert Jenrick, the former shadow justice secretary, made the move.
The total number of MPs sitting on Reform’s benches is now up to eight, including four who defected from the Tories since the General Election.
Announcing her defection at a Reform press conference, Braverman said: “I feel like I’ve come home.”
She added: “Britain is indeed broken. She is suffering. She is not well. Immigration is out of control, our public services are on their knees, people don’t feel safe. Our youngsters are leaving the country for better futures elsewhere.
“We can’t even defend ourselves and our nation stands weak and humiliated on the world stage. So we stand at a crossroads. We can either continue down this route of managed decline to weakness and surrender, or we can fix our country, reclaim our power, rediscover our strength.”

Wondered how long it would be before she jumped…
That’s great news 👏👏
Agree Clive.
Will the Nigerian calling herself Badenoch (not her real name) also defect? 🙂
Not sure filling up Reform with Muslims and Tories is the answer.
No. Fourteen years of treachery will take some pulling back.
Effing hope not – nor our lying MP Coutinho which might become more of a worry should Reform wipe the floor here in May.
She’s an Anchor Baby. Let’s pray she doesn’t drop Anchor at Reform UK
No, it isn’t.
Another member of the Socially Defective Party (SDP), perhaps.
This starts to look like a mass immigration of former Tory government officials into Reform. Once all the FIPBNPS¹ people have washed up there, will a vote for Reform still be something other than a vote for the Tories?
¹ Fourteen years in power but no problems solved.
There have been dozens of hopeless Uniparty Tories in the past 14 years. Reform is avoiding them. Jenrick and Braverman are definite assets, Zahawi less so.
However they aren’t taking the Rudds, Morduants, Gaukes, Grieves and Stuarts of this world. Reform will definitely NOT be following the recent Tory line on anything. They may not be perfect, but they’ll be many times better than the traitorous Tories.
Agreed, if Reform employs too strong a purity test then they will miss out on the experienced they will need once in government. Braverman will probably have been kept in check by collective responsibility while in the cabinet. I would certainly give her a second chance at Reform.
Braverman always seemed to me a likely candidate to defect, and undoubtedly one of the soundest tories.
I’m glad she’s taken the pluge definitely an asset.
What’s a pluge?
They’re all only politicians, Solentviews…
Thatcher was a one-off. Truly a one-off.
Exactly. God knows Suella tried hard enough to push through genuine conservative policy and was deflected and shot down continuously.
the poor woman hung onto her party loyalty for as long as she could; but they didn’t give a toss about her.
Zahawi is a money man as shown by all his shady dealings in kurdish oil and his tax failings and you do need to bring in a lot of cash to fight elections. He might be on a promise to go to the Lords. However, other than that he is a slimeball.
I do have sympathy with the fact that you need people in the kitchen who know how to cook and manage the equipment. As long as Reform writes the menu…
These are former top-tier politicians and not civil service employees. Which means they will collaborate with others to write the Reform menu.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, however, considering that Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccines minister is among them who first declared that there would be no such thing as vaccine passports and then introduced them nevertheless, I’m certainly not convinced that it’s a good thing. This guy is a dishonourable opportunist whose word counts for nothing and insofar he has any principles, this would be the principle of I’ll do whatever is best for me & everyone else can go to hell for all I care!
I agree. My heart sank when Mr Zahawi was announced as a Reform member.
Indeed. I don’t remember Braverman piping up at the time either.
Few if any did. The Tories en masse implemented and supported the Medical Nazism and the Plandemic over the non-existing virus.
Why would anyone support any of these lot in Reform?
They should be in prison.
Pre-cisely!
Brilliant news. Made my day.
Reform needs a heavyweight lawyer and SB is one terrific lady.
Well I do believe that Ms Braverman brings a touch of class and much needed gravitas after the calamaitous recruitment of the mafiosa in a suit Zahawi – that was barrel scraping – but is she strong enough amongst this bunch? And she is more than likely going to outshine al- farage at some point which could be testy.
Time will tell.
Although I don’t want to see in-fighting in the top tier of Reform, we do need people other than Nigel Farage with leadership potential. It’s too risky and too short-sighted to build a political party around a single person. It will take the party more than one term in government to turn the country around and get the change of direction fully bedded in. There’s a couple of decades of damage to undo. With all the best will in the world, Nigel can’t go on forever, and at some stage a successor will need to be found.
It will develop.but every organisation can only have one leader.
And history has shown that Nigel has a hissy fit when somebody starts to show him up – Rupert Lowe – and arranges for them to be stabbed in the back. I do wonder if this time this might not work and maybe he is actually looking to have some quality people alongside. Time will tell but of course the party is still Nigel Farage Limited with a band of subscribers contrary to his promise to change it.
I think she is genuinely tough.
This is funny.😆 He really sells it. Can’t wait to come back for a visit.🤭 *sound on*.

Nice.
Just the bit about the countryside was a bit weak. I (born in rural Germany) could immediately give that back: If you like the smell of unwashed people in dirty clothes¹ who routinely piss their pants and who are too busy with whatever their businesses happen to be to wipe their asses clean after going to the toilet, you’ll love our cities!
¹ Special points for the Wrap me in cloth from head to toe!-brigade whose olfactory impressions frequently suggest that they were wrapped in their respective garments when physical signs of puberty became visible and haven’t changed or washed it since².
² Is this now islamophobia and must I claim that they smell like roses instead of like ancient carpets?
😂🤣😅
Do you automatically do that thing where when you see someone coming towards you on the pavement and they look scruffy and you just know they’re going to smell so you hold your breath for the few seconds it takes to pass them?👃
It’s weird, that never happens over here. Only in England. I think there’s a higher standard of ‘scruffy’ here.
Just as well as I’d hate to get stuck 🚴♀️ downwind of a ponger.😷
Yes, I know exactly what you mean Mogs.
👍👍
Thanks Mogs 👍
Will the senior Labour person Farage mentioned be next or just a figment of his imagination? I suspect the later
I think he’s just baiting 2TierKier isn’t he?
The mystery man probably is Keir, waiting for the sack.
Is it true that “Rael Braverman has annouced he is quitting Reform UK with immediate effect, just one day after the party criticised his wife Suella over the 2022 Afghan Ministry of Defence leak.”?
If anyone thought REFORM were not serious, then they can forget all of that now. I have been hoping Suella Braverman would join a proper Conservative Right of Centre Party and REFORM is the only one, so she simply had to join. —–It is going to be an almighty battle to save the country as the very fabric of it has been and is being destroyed by traitorous EU, ECHR, and UN/WEF parasites, but that is a battle I trust REFORM to win, especially as they recruit all the proper conservatives from the phoney ones.
Hang on, Reclaim, Rediscover, or Reform?
Repackage
As Attorney General, she was more than happy to support the Coronavirus Act in 2020.
As Home Secretary, she failed to stop mass legal immigration, mass illegal immigration, and did nothing to curb the rise of a Stasi-style police culture.
Presided over the flagrant abuse of the Public Health Act which enabled the restrictions.
May I just say three things about this: ****1) Ethnic Indian “Tory” Braverman founded the “Africa Justice Foundation” with Labour PM Tony Blair’s wife Cherie, to train lawyers in Africa, and got into trouble by failing to declare a Conflict of Interest, violating The Ministerial Code: Home secretary accused of failing to disclose Rwanda charity link “The Independent reported this week that Braverman did not formally disclose her links to the charity when she was appointed Home Secretary last year. According to the Independent, “Several people the charity worked with are now key members of president Paul Kagame’s government and are involved in the UK’s £140m deal to send asylum seekers to Rwanda”. The newspaper reported that one former minister told it that the Home Secretary “never mentioned” her work with the charity.” ****3) Is there a single example of a Third World Ethnic politician or celebrity in the West who has NOT rejected their own ethnic group and insisted on marrying a White Spouse? Can anyone think of any examples? I can only think of two: Ethnic African actor Will Smith, and Cassius Clay (Mohammed Ali), who both insisted on marrying “their own”. Cassius Clay said he didn’t want a… Read more »
****2) Nigel seems to be following his plan to emulate Canadian Steven Harper, who founded a “Reform” party, then absorbed former Conservatives into his party, then declared itself the New Conservative Party, which eventually led back to Globalist Leftie Liberal Justin Trudeau. So there’s that to look forward to… :/
