The in-and-out movements of the Bravermans have been quite something to behold. This morning it was the turn of Suella to (finally) join Reform, with Nigel Farage confirming that he had been in on-and-off talks with her for a year. ‘I thought she’d already gone’, was the reaction from one Tory wag on the wet wing of the party who Mr S spoke to earlier.
But Suella’s long and steady journey from the Tories to Reform is nothing as exciting as that of her husband Rael. He signed up to Farage’s party as early as December 2024 and thereafter spent months excitedly tweeting that every Tory MP deserved to lose their seat. But last summer he spectacularly quit the party ‘with immediate effect’ after Zia Yusuf fired off a series of tweets about Suella about the Afghan data leak scandal.
All’s well that ends well however: for Rael has today rejoined Reform after declaring that his wife had found ‘home where she belongs.’ He wrote on X (where else?) that:
Britain faces a moment of profound choice. We need courage, honesty, and fundamental change. I believe Reform UK are the only party that will deliver it. That is why I am joining Reform UK.
As Churchill told Jock Colville ‘Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat.’
