While anyone drawing up a list of potential Conservative defectors to Reform UK would have put Suella Braverman near the top, this is still a big moment. Braverman is a former Conservative home secretary, a big beast of recent Tory history. And her switch emphasises the momentum Reform are showing in draining the Conservative Party. She is the fourth sitting Tory MP to join the party since the last election, and the third this month. The week before last it was Robert Jenrick, a week ago it was Andrew Rosindell, now Braverman.

2 months agoYes, It's Fascism
For one thing, there were too many elements of classical fascism that didn't seem to fit.

Italy's original version differed from Germany's, which differed from Spain's.
