Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has become the latest Conservative MP to defect to Reform UK.

Leader Nigel Farage made the surprise announcement at a rally for party activists in central London.

Braverman told Reform supporters she had also resigned her Tory membership of 30 years, adding: "I feel like I've come home."

She becomes the fourth sitting Tory MP to join the party since the last election, and the third this month, alongside Robert Jenrick and Andrew Rosindell.

The defection brings Reform's current tally of MPs to eight.
