Suella Braverman latest: Farage blames Tory defector’s ‘useless’ government record on ECHR as she joins Reform
Nigel Farage admits Suella Braverman was ‘useless’ as home secretary – here’s why
- Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, stated that Suella Braverman was "useless" during her tenure as home secretary.
- He attributed her perceived failure in government to the UK's continued adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
- Farage specifically criticised Ms Braverman's performance on immigration and efforts to stop small boats, describing her as "absolutely pathetic" two years ago.
- Following Ms Braverman's defection, Farage reiterated his view that all ministers were "utterly useless" due to the ECHR's constraints.
- He suggested that her willingness to admit past mistakes, saying "We got it wrong," is a crucial first step.
