Suella Braverman

Suella Braverman is a British politician who served as Home Secretary under both Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, and as Attorney General. She has been a Member of Parliament since 2015. Braverman is newsworthy due to her recent defection from the Conservative Party to Reform UK, a right-wing party led by Nigel Farage. This move makes her the third sitting Conservative MP to join Reform UK in a short period. Her defection was announced at a Reform UK rally, where she accused the Conservative party of lying to voters about immigration. This event is significant because it highlights divisions within the Conservative party and potentially strengthens Reform UK's position in the political landscape, especially concerning immigration policies. The Conservative party initially released a statement, later retracted, suggesting her defection was linked to mental health issues.
