Suella Braverman warned the Conservative Party faces an “existential threat” from Reform UK. 

The former home secretary, viewed as one of the favourites in the forthcoming Tory leadership contest, said her party must take a series of steps to restore credibility with voters. 

She advocated leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, lowering taxes and “standing against identity politics”. 

Mrs Braverman tweeted this morning: “There is only space for one Conservative Party in British politics & we face an existential threat from Reform.

“We need to adapt & be credible on immigration, leaving the ECHR, lowering taxation & standing against identity politics.”

Mrs Braverman was one of just 121 Tory MPs to be elected to the House of Commons at the general election last week. Reform ended the contest with five MPs.
