|January 27, 2026
FORMER home secretary Suella Braverman said she felt she had “come home” as she confirmed her defection to Reform UK.
-
She will represent her constituency of Fareham and Waterlooville as a Reform UK MP with immediate effect after resigning her Conservative Party membership of 30 years, she said.
It comes hot on the heels of fellow Conservative MPs Robert Jenrick and Andrew Rosindell defecting and brings the number of sitting MPs in Nigel Farage’s party to eight.
Ms Braverman said Nigel Farage was the only man in UK politics who has been “courageously consistent”, as she took to the stage at a Reform UK event for veterans.
The Tories said her defection to was always a matter of “when, not if”.
