Suella Braverman is out of the traps to attack her party’s chairman for comparing Reform’s member medal to the Nazi ‘Golden Party Badge’:
I expect this from Labour, not the Conservatives.
Let’s raise the level of debate: criticise the policies, even challenge the people or their actions.
But comparing Reform and their supporters to Nazis is wrong, irresponsible and highly counter-productive.

Hollinrake posted a photo of the Wikipedia page on X last night, then deleted it, then posted a link to the same page afterwards. Doubling down…
The Tories are no strangers to badges either.
There is consternation among some party figures as to how smart that was. The party says: “Reform are more interested in tweets than the shame of their leader in Wales being jailed for 10 years for being Putin’s stooge… Reform need to get off social media and explain why they’re so cozy with Russia.” Look over there!
Suella Braverman, Richard Tice and Lord Frost joined forces this morning at the Prosperity Institute to unveil their paper “Why and How to Leave the ECHR”. Kemi’s own ECHR review headed up by Lord Wolfson is supposed to be revealed at conference…
Guido asked Braverman why she hadn’t joined Reform yet given swirling rumours that she might defect. She replied:
“I am not defecting. I’ve been elected as a Conservative member of parliament. I am very grateful for the people of Waterlooville who sent me back to Parliament and I’m doing my job for them. I am not defecting.”
Meanwhile, when Tice was asked whether he would welcome Suella to Reform, he said “people who believe in our values from all parties, or no party, are welcome.” Braveman also added that she would scrap the Judicial Appointment Commission, despite it not being party policy. Plenty for Kemi to chew on…
Vocal Suella Braverman has called Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel’s Illegal Migration Bill a “dead letter.“ Shots across bows…
Braverman has penned a punchy Telegraph piece today on the failure of the Home Office to deal with the small boats crisis. She references Priti’s 2021 bill:
“I asked why we were not prosecuting for illegal entry – after all, it had been made a criminal offence by the Nationality and Borders Act of 2021. The answer revealed the hollowness of our system. The CPS, knowing each migrant could lodge an asylum claim that trumped criminal charges under the Refugee Convention (included in s31 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999), quietly deprioritised enforcement. Border Force and police saw little point in pursuing charges destined to collapse in court. The law, though passed with fanfare, was a dead letter and no minister could go behind “operational independence”.”
Braverman is speaking at the Prosperity Institute tomorrow alongside Richard Tice and David Frost on her plan to leave the ECHR. Interesting speaker list…
Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
