Suella Braverman leaves Conservatives for Reform UK over immigration, sovereignty, and broken promises.

Former Conservative Home Secretary Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK, citing uncontrolled immigration, failing public services, and national decline as reasons for leaving the party after 30 years. She criticized the Conservatives for breaking promises, particularly on exiting the European Convention on Human Rights, and accused the party of punishing her for advocating sovereignty. Her move, announced at a Reform UK event in London, makes her the eighth Conservative MP to join the right-wing party, strengthening its presence in Parliament. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage welcomed her, calling it long overdue. The defection reflects deepening divisions within the Conservative Party and signals growing political momentum for Reform UK ahead of upcoming elections.
