Suella makes the ultimate sacrifice as she ditches Tories for Reform | John Crace

Suella Braverman's shocking defection from the Conservative Party to the Reform Party has sent shockwaves through British politics, and it's clear that she's made the ultimate sacrifice – her loyalty to a party that once shunned her.

The news came as no surprise to those familiar with Braverman's tempestuous past within the Tories. Her tumultuous relationship with Liz Truss, from being sacked as Home Secretary for breaking the ministerial code to being fired by Rishi Sunak for criticising Scotland Yard's policing of protests, had already raised eyebrows about her suitability for the party.

Farage's welcoming words only added fuel to the fire, highlighting the stark contrast between Braverman's troubled past and the Reform Party's more hardline stance on immigration. The fact that she was already a familiar face in Reform, having been there long before its inception, only served as a testament to her ability to adapt.

Braverman's emotional speech at the veterans' rally left many scratching their heads, particularly when it came to her views on homelessness and immigration. While her rhetoric about putting one's life on the line for love of country resonated with some, others felt that she was glossing over the complexities of the issues.

However, it was her parting shots at the Conservatives that truly revealed the depth of Braverman's betrayal. Her claim that she had tried her best and everything that went wrong was someone else's fault rang hollow, particularly given her own record on immigration during her time as Home Secretary.

In the end, it's clear that Braverman has made a calculated move to boost her profile and secure a spot at the heart of Reform. While Nigel Farage's enthusiasm for her defection may be genuine, one can't help but wonder if he's underestimating the depth of loyalty required to truly unite with this new flock.

As for the Tories, it seems they've lost another battle – albeit not entirely unexpected. The question now is what this shift in allegiance means for Reform and whether Farage has indeed created a party that's more similar to the Conservative Party than he lets on.
 
omg i cant believe suella braverman actually joined reform 🤯 she was always so dramatic in her time as home secretary, breaking the ministerial code left and right, but u think she adapted well enough to join the party? 🙃 idk man, her speech at the veterans rally just sounded like more of the same old rhetoric, all patriotic and emotional, but not really addressing the real issues. i mean, puttin ur life on the line for love of country is easy, but what about puttin in effort to solve homelessness and immigration? that sounds way harder 🤔
 
idk how braverman's defection is gonna affect reform...she was already pretty outspoken, so i guess we'll see how they roll with her views on immigration & stuff 🤔 meanwhile, i'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing...tories gotta wonder what coulda been if braverman just stuck it out with them 🤷‍♂️ anyway, it's clear she's all about boosting her own profile now 📈
 
omg u guys i cant even 💥 so suella braverman just jumped ship from cons to reform 🤯 like she was always meant 2 be there lol her speech at the vets rally was SO awkward 🙅‍♀️ but i get why she did it - boostin her profile is key 💁‍♀️ and who can blame her for tryna secure a spot @ the heart of reform? 🤔 the thing that got me tho was when she tried 2 shift the blame onto rishi sunak & liz truss 😒 like cmon Suella, take responsibility 4 ur actions! 👀 also idk if nigel farage is really serious about unifying with reform or if hes just tryna stir up drama 🤔
 
🤔 I think Suella Braverman's defection from the Conservatives to the Reform Party is like, super telling of her true colors, you know? Like, she was always kinda on the periphery of the Tories, and now she's got a new platform that aligns more with her views. It's not just about switching parties, it's about finding a home where she can express herself without being held back by internal politics.

But here's the thing - I'm not sure if Reform is ready for someone like Braverman. She's got a reputation for being pretty ruthless in her tactics, and while that might serve her well in this new role, it could also be a liability. Like, she's already been criticized for glossing over the complexities of homelessness and immigration... what happens when she's got to navigate those issues with actual policy-making?

And let's be real, Nigel Farage is super charismatic, but can he really unite a party that's as fractured as Reform? It feels like a tall order, especially if they're trying to recreate the Conservative Party in their image. I'm guessing Braverman's defection is gonna be a wild ride...
 
So I'm watching this whole thing with Braverman jumping ship from the Tories to the Reform Party, and honestly it feels like she's trying to relive her glory days 🙅‍♂️. I mean we all know about her rough patch with Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, but what really got me is how she's being welcomed back into Reform with open arms by Nigel Farage.

It's like she's been grooming herself for this moment, and I'm not buying the emotional speech at that veterans' rally 💔. Her views on homelessness and immigration are just a bunch of PR fluff to get her pasted by voters who don't know any better 🤦‍♂️. And let's be real, she's been playing both sides for years, so it's hard to trust her when she says she's trying to do what's best for the country.

But here's the thing – this move is all about Braverman herself, not about making a difference in British politics 🤑. She's just trying to boost her profile and get a spot at the Reform Party's top table, no matter how much it might damage its reputation. And Nigel Farage, bless his heart, is eating out of the palm of her hand 👀. It's going to be interesting to see if Reform can live up to its promises or if Braverman just ends up being a liability 💸.
 
I don’t usually comment but I think Suella Braverman making this move from the Tories to the Reform Party could be a game changer 🤔💥. She’s got some serious baggage with her old party and I gotta admit, it's gonna take a lot more than just words to win people over now 😊. The thing is, Farage has been trying to paint her as some sort of patriot and all that jazz, but let’s be real, she was sacked from the Home Sec position for breaking rules 🚫. It’s not like she went out on a high note or anything 👎. On the other hand, I do think it’s interesting that she jumped ship now because the Tories aren’t exactly the most welcoming place to those who don’t toe the line 🔒. So, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this all plays out in the end 🤞
 
🤔 think its all about personal gain for suella braverman 🤑 she played the victim card at that vets rally & her immigration record is pretty rocky tbh 🚫 still not sure if reform party is gonna be anything new tho 😐 nigel farage seems to be just rehashing old Tory ideas in a different package 📦
 
🤔 So I'm reading this about Suella Braverman jumping ship from the Tories to Reform, and I gotta say it's like watching an old friend walk away from the table – you can almost see the guilt written all over her face 💔. The thing is, we've seen this fire-and-ice style of politics before with Braverman, so it's not exactly a shock that she'd go rogue 🚫. The part that has me puzzled though is why she chose Reform – I mean, don't get me wrong, they seem like a more... let's say 'stable' option compared to the Tories 😬. But Nigel Farage seems to have this aura of charm around him that makes you think he might be onto something 💫.

What really got my goat though was when she started talking about patriotism and love for country – I get it, we all wanna feel like we're part of something bigger 🌟. But then she goes on to gloss over the complexities of homelessness and immigration... and suddenly she's like a breath of fresh air to the Reform Party? I'm not buying it 💁‍♀️. It feels like she's using this platform to boost her profile, maybe even position herself for something bigger 📈.

Anyway, one thing is for sure – Suella Braverman's definitely made some waves in British politics 💥, and it'll be interesting to see how Reform evolves with her on board 🤝.
 
🤔💥 I think Suella Braverman's defection is all about power play 🔄, she needs a new gig to boost her profile 💁‍♀️ and let's be real, it's about getting back in the game 🎮 after being kinda tossed out 👋 by the Tories. The Reform Party might just become her next playground 🏞️, but we'll see how long she lasts 🕰️. Will Nigel Farage be able to keep her on track or will she take him for a ride? 😏👀
 
🤔 so i think suella braverman's move from conservatives to reform party is a big deal... she was always kinda of an outsider within the Tories, but it seems like she's found a new home 🏠 with nigel farage and his hardline stance on immigration. her speech at the veterans' rally seemed a bit off though, especially when it came to issues like homelessness and immigration - it felt like she wasn't being super honest about the complexities of those problems.

i'm not sure if Farage really underestimates the loyalty required to join reform... from what i've heard, he's built this party with a pretty tight-knit group of folks who are all on the same page. but still, you gotta wonder if it's gonna be too similar to the conservatives in the end 🤷‍♀️. either way, it'll be interesting to see how reform shakes out and what impact suella braverman has within the party 💥
 
🤔 I gotta disagree with everyone on this one... Suella Braverman's defection is actually a good thing! Like, she was always a bit of an outsider in the Tories anyway, so it's not like she was sacrificing anything by switching to Reform. And honestly, I think her past as Home Secretary has given her some legit experience that'll serve her well in this new role. Not to mention, it's about time someone with her passion and conviction joined a party that actually shares those values 🙌. Plus, let's be real, Farage is the one who's been trying to unite a party for years, so I'm not gonna start doubting his judgment just because he welcomed Braverman with open arms 🤷‍♂️
 
omg i feel like suella braverman made a total u turn 🤯 she was always so outspoken but then she just becomes a reform party member lol i guess you could say she's trying to polish her rep but it's gonna be hard for people to trust her again 🙅‍♀️ nigel farage seems legit though, he does seem to genuinely care about what his followers want 👍 on the other hand, tories just lost another key player, no biggie 💁‍♀️
 
I'm low-key surprised she went through with it lol. I mean, Suella Braverman was always gonna be a wild card, right? 🤯 She's got a reputation for being outspoken and all that jazz, but I guess you can't deny her conviction. What really gets me is how she spun the whole thing - like, "I tried my best"... sure, Sue, we've seen your track record on immigration 🙄. I'm curious to see how this plays out in the long run though. Is Reform gonna become just another Tory clone or will they actually shake things up? Only time (and Farage's next move) will tell 💥
 
Can you believe Suella Braverman threw her weight behind Nigel Farage? 🤯 I mean, she was a bit of a wild card even among the Tories, what with all the drama she caused during her time as Home Sec. And now she's jumping ship to Reform, which is just so... calculated. 😒 You can tell she wants that spotlight and will do whatever it takes to get there.

But you know what really gets me? 🤔 Her claim about not being able to control the outcome of things when she was in power. Um, really Suella? That's like saying 'it's not my fault' when your kid spills their ice cream all over the carpet. 😂 As a parent, I've learned that sometimes you gotta take responsibility for your actions and own up to them.

And what about her views on homelessness and immigration? 🤷‍♀️ It was like she just glossed over everything and expected everyone to agree with her without even trying to understand the complexities of the issues. That's not leadership, that's just... basic. 😴

Anyway, I'm curious to see how this plays out in the Reform party now. Will they really be able to unite behind someone like Suella Braverman? 🤔 And what about the Conservatives? Do they actually care about losing a strong voice on immigration and national security? 🤷‍♂️
