Suella Braverman Defects to Reform UK
Suella Braverman, who used to be in the Conservative Party, has now joined Reform UK, a different political party led by Nigel Farage.
She said she feels like she's 'coming home' to Reform UK.
Before this, she was the Home Secretary and had some controversial views on immigration.
Her husband had recently left Reform UK, but she decided to join anyway.
Some people think she left the Conservative Party because she didn't get what she wanted there.
Other people from the Conservative Party have also joined Reform UK, but some of them had said bad things about Reform UK before.
The Conservative Party made a statement about Braverman's mental health, which they later apologized for.
Now, Braverman is with Farage, and they seem to be working together.
Suella Braverman has defected from the Conservative Party to Reform UK, joining Nigel Farage's party.
Braverman's husband, Rael Braverman, had quit Reform UK just days before her defection.
The Conservative Party initially made a controversial statement about Braverman's mental health, which they later apologized for.
Other Conservative Party members, including Robert Jenrick, Nadim Zahawi, and Nadine Dorries, have also defected to Reform UK.
