Suella Braverman recently spoke out, urging the Conservative Party to embrace Nigel Farage in order to unite the right. The party has faced a tough few days on the campaign trail, and Braverman believes that aligning with Farage is the key to success.
In an interview with The Times, the former home secretary stressed the importance of the Tories being a "broad church" and not excluding anyone who wants to see Conservatives elected. This statement comes at a critical time, as a recent snap poll revealed that Farage is the most popular candidate to succeed Rishi Sunak as leader of the party.
Speaking of Sunak, he has faced criticism for allegedly avoiding the media and facing a backlash for leaving a D-Day commemoration service early last week. Reporters were reportedly "not allowed anywhere near" the Prime Minister as he went door-to-door in his constituency over the weekend.
Cabinet minister Mel Stride has assured the public that there is "no question" of Sunak stepping down as leader of the Conservatives, despite rumors of his potential resignation before the general election on July 4th.
