The former home secretary, Suella Braverman, is the special guest on today’s edition of The Daily T.

The Conservative MP and ex-attorney general explains why she thinks it’s time for the UK to leave the ECHR, how it’s thwarted our ability to control our borders and undermines the sovereignty of Parliament.

Braverman also talks through the frustration she experienced at being “powerless” whilst running the Home Office amid a “lack of political will” to get a grip on illegal migration. She also takes aim at former prime minister Rishi Sunak’s “broken promises” on stopping the boats, and outlines why there could be “some truth” in Nigel Farage’s belief that Britain is on the verge of societal collapse.

The former home secretary also explains why she remains committed to the Conservatives despite there still being “arrogance and complacency” within the party, as well as why she feels no sympathy for Rachel Reeves and her belief that Keir Starmer is “incompetent” and “a fool”.
