Rishi Sunak found room for both of them, but Suella Braverman, who was so incompetent that even Liz Truss felt obliged to sack her, would reportedly defect to Reform UK if she were not made Leader of the Conservative Party instead of, for example, Robert Jenrick, who was so bent that even Boris Johnson felt obliged to sack him.
Meaning that Braverman would have to challenge for Leader of Reform, or what would be the point? If she had left the Conservatives for not having made her Leader, as they are certainly not going to do, then she could not very well join another party except to become its Leader. Nigel Farage may therefore refuse to let her in. Indeed, if she did not now defect, then she has presumably been rebuffed.
And if Braverman felt the need to join Reform, then she would obviously have had the support of fewer than five other Conservative MPs. Such fun, brothers and sisters. Such fun. Let the games begin.
Braverman losing two Leadership elections in two parties in a year would be a hoot, you're right if she had more backers than Reform MPs she'd set up on her own, Reform has five MPs so she must have less than that.
ReplyDeleteHer being refused membership of Reform would be even funnier.
