Braverman defection: Farage recruits another ex-Tory with “selective amnesia”

26 Jan 2026

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Suella Braverman’s defection to Reform UK, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

“Farage has recruited yet another Conservative minister with selective amnesia - one who complains about broken Britain while conveniently forgetting they helped break it.

"Suella Braverman was so bad she was forced to resign from Liz Truss’ cabinet and got sacked by Rishi Sunak.

“With Kemi Badenoch promising to pull the Conservatives further to the right to chase after Nigel Farage, only the Liberal Democrats are standing up for the silent majority who believe in a decent, caring country."
