YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSpeaking to Tonight with Andrew Marr, Suella Braverman failed to name one thing she dislikes about Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, depsite being asked five times.
It comes after British property billionaire Nick Candy quit the Conservative party to become Reform’s treasurer.
Mr Candy accused the Tories of a "complete breach of trust with the wealth creators in our country" as he announced he would be taking up a fundraising role for Reform in the new year.
Despite the wave of defections, Mr Braverman’s loyalty to the Tories seemingly remains firm.
She said: “I’m not defecting to Reform. I've just been elected as a Conservative Member of Parliament by the good people of Fareham and Waterlooville.
“That's a great, great honour, and I have no intention of defecting. I'm here as a Conservative Member of Parliament. I'm going to fight for what I believe in.
“Listen, I am a Conservative Member of Parliament, and I want my party to succeed. I've been very open about our failures. I've apologized for those failures.
“We now need to rebuild trust with the British people by being honest and by demonstrating that we're taking their concerns seriously. I believe my party is the right party to do that.”
Refusing to name one thing she disliked about Reform, Ms Braverman joked: “I've been a Conservative Party member, I'm gonna let you into a little secret here, Andrew, since I was about 14, does that make me cool, or does it make me uncool?”
Ignoring the question for a fifth and final time, she said: “I'm not defecting to Reform. I don't know how many times I can tell you.”
