PARLIAMENT GARDEN OF REMEMBERANCE
11th November 2026
It was my honour to lay a cross in Parliament's Garden of Remembrance and pause to remember.
All gave some, some gave all.
I am so proud to represent a constituency with an enormous number of veterans.
Everyone in Fareham and Waterlooville and across the country will be forever grateful to our brave men and women who fought and died for us.
"If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home."
– Rupert Brooke, The Soldier
Lest we forget
LEST WE FORGET
8th November 2026
Honoured to lay a wreath this morning at Fareham’s Remembrance Sunday Service.
Lest we forget.

GREAT VISIT TO ASHFIELD!
6th November 2026
Great visit today in Ashfield with my friend Lee Anderson MP and hear from SEND professionals about the real challenges facing families, children and schools.
HIGHER EDUCATION IS BROKEN
4th November 2026
Higher education is broken. We need radical change.
Reform UK will cut public funding – your money – from the bottom 20% of universities.
If you're producing graduates with pointless qualifications and no job prospects, why should taxpayers support you?
A Reform government will use that money to make universities work for young people and make them accountable to you – the public.
We will redistribute that money to train British doctors, nurses and dentists.
We will lift the arbitrary cap on homegrown medical places.
Our Apprenticeship Wage Credit will fund 30% of a young apprentice's wage at small businesses and give them a cash bonus when they complete two years with an employer.
We will unleash a skills revolution in technical and vocational education.
We will end the crippling debt and interest spiral so many young people face.
We will stop foreign students from accessing British taxpayer-funded student loans.
We will support degrees that make our country amazing and give people the skills and a job to build a family.
We will offer young people hope.
We will put the British people first.
THE GOVERNMENT MUST DO MORE TO TACKLE THE NEET CRISIS
3rd November 2026
One million young people are not in education, employment or training, 700,000 graduates are unemployed.
We are a creating a lost generation filled with debt, regret and unemployment.
Yet there was nothing in the budget for them.
The start of my speech on the budget tonight
STOP THE COALITION!
2nd November 2026
What a shameful non-answer from the Labour Minister in the House of Commons today.
They would rather make party political points than stand up against antisemitism.
This government is truly awful.
Thank goodness for Havant Reform councillors who have been standing up against antisemitism and challenging Labour’s shameful coalition with the Greens
END THE GREAT UNIVERISTY SCAM!
31st October 2026
This is my pledge to you.
Our young people are being ripped off. Many have suffered through the ‘Great University Scam’. 700,000 graduates are unemployed. 1 million 18 to 25-year-olds are NEET: not in education, employment or training.
It’s time to put British young people back at the front of the queue.
A Reform UK Government will stop taxpayer funding for worthless degrees that offer no value for money. If people want to do pointless degrees with no job prospects, fine, but fund them yourselves.
A Reform UK Government would by cutting taxpayer funding from the worst 20% of universities. We would make them accountable for their graduates.
A Reform UK Government would stop foreign students from accessing British taxpayer loans. It’s a national scandal.
We will end Mickey Mouse degrees from the University of Nowhere that don’t lead to a job.
Instead, we will save the taxpayer billions of pounds and fund the training of British doctors and British nurses and lift the cap on how many homegrown medical professionals we can train.
We will also invest in further education and apprenticeships. Whatever happened to the good old polytechnic? A victim of academic snobbery.
Enough. It’s time to put British children first.
GREAT TO JOIN GB MUMS!
30th October 2026
I sat down with GB News to talk about some of the issues facing women and mums today.
We talked about the challenges of being a new mum and being in the Cabinet, and how a new law had to be made to allow me maternity leave!
We also talked about the tough times of pregnancy, including problems with maternity care and, sadly, miscarriages.
We discussed screen time, my vision for the education system and how my whole perception of life changed after becoming a mum for the first time at 39.
Baby Loss Awareness Week was held in October and I would encourage anyone to reach out to the amazing organisations that provide wonderful support where it’s needed most.
Reform UK is determined to be the most pro-women and pro-mother government ever. I want all mums and dads to know that we are on your side and will work to create the best possible society for you to raise a family and be a parent - the best job in the world.
REFORM UK WILL FIX BROKE BRITAIN!
27th October 2026
Great to join Jeremy Kyle on TalkTV this morning to chat about the Budget, my plans for education, support for Reform UK and the issues that matter to us here in Hampshire
I know so many of you are struggling right now, and I understand why people feel frustrated.
You’re working as hard as ever, but your money just isn’t stretching as far as it used to.
You’re worried that young people today aren’t getting the same chances and opportunities that earlier generations had.
And you’re fed up that the small boats crisis carries on and on, with no end in sight.
I truly believe Reform is the change this country needs, with a credible plan to bring immigration under control, get our economy back on track and restore fairness for the next generation.
END ANTISEMITISM IN SCHOOLS!
26th October 2026
I want to see an education system where every child, no matter their religion, their skin colour, their class or any part of their background can learn in harmony and in peace.
I want to see an end to the political indoctrination of our children. If a teacher has a certain view on politics or foreign policy, it must be kept out of the classroom.
Did you know that 60% of Jewish students have experienced antisemitism and discrimination in the classroom?
Antisemitism is rife within our schools, our NHS, our judiciary and even our police. That should bring shame on us as a country.
And yet still Havant Labour Party refuse to end their deal with the Greens …
Under a Reform UK Government, that would end.
We would build an eduction system that brings people together; that celebrates each child’s individual talents and unifies us under our Union Flag with only a love for our great country in our hearts and in our classrooms
STOP THE HAVANT COALITION!
25th October 2026
A few weeks ago the Green Party passed an antisemitic motion that ‘Zionism is racism’.
The motion has been roundly condemned by all sides - including by the Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
He’s even told all Labour Councils to end power sharing deals with the Greens because of it. Good.
But it seems that news hasn’t reached Havant or council leader Gillian Harris. Havant Labour Party has refused to condemn the motion and has refused to end its power sharing coalition deal with the Greens.
Are they happy running a council with such a party? Are these the sort of people they really want to be associated with?
The people of Havant deserve better. Our Jewish community deserves better. This is simply not good enough.
I’ve set up a petition alongside local Havant Reform Councillors - who have written to the Prime Minister - urging for this scandal to end.
You deserve much better than this and I won’t be quiet until the coalition ends.
You can sign the petition here:

LABOUR ABANDONS GOSPORT AND PORTSMOUTH!
24th October 2026
The government has refused to rule out MORE boats coming into Gosport and Portsmouth.
They are even talking about turning Fort Blockhouse and Haslar Marina into permanent asylum accommodation.
Has the government lost its mind?
These men coming over do not belong in our country, they make us more unsafe, have skipped the immigration queue and are a danger to women and girls everywhere.
Instead of rolling out the red carpet for these men, why don’t we deport them, save the cash and spend it on our veterans instead, helping them find a new job or housing?
How about we deport these men and spend the £6M a day housing them on our schools and hospitals instead.
It seems we live in a perverse country that would rather prosecute its soldiers than house them. It’s sickening.
I refuse to let the Gosport issue drop. It is the number one issue on the doorstep for my constituents in Fareham and Waterlooville.
If you want to come to this country, do it the right way, don’t break in and expect everything to be handed to you on a plate.
No wonder the British people are angry when we are continually treated as second class. Yet, as soon as some protest what’s going on, they are treated as criminals and told to produce ID when walking their dog. It’s unfair, unjust and un-British.
The invasion of our southern coast must end. We have to bring back common-sense and strength to our borders.
Say NO to Gosport and Portsmouth being used for illegal asylum accommodation.
DEFENDING THE BRAVE SURVIVORS OF GROOMING GANGS
22nd October 2026
We sat in a small community centre hall.
Around me were ten women. In another life, we might have been school friends. We were the same generation, born in the 1980s and 1990s raised on Oasis and Spice Girls.
Except I had been spared. They had not.
While I was swotting for my A Levels, they were being raped behind takeaway shops and in the back of taxis.
While I was on hiking trips for my Duke of Edinburgh badge, they were being shunted from one abuser to another, getting pregnant, and being treated with contempt by the authorities.
The Grooming Gangs scandal is one of the largest stains in our nation’s history.
In towns and cities across our country. Young white girls were seen as sexual prey by groups of largely Pakistani Muslim men.
And yet, when these brave women went to the police, they were ignored, belittled and in some cases arrested themselves.
It is a national disgrace..
I will never stop fighting for those women, so they get the justice they deserve and those that committed these abhorrent crimes and covered them up get put behind bars where they belong.
PUSHING FOR TRUTH IN GOSPORT
20th October 2026
I have now discovered that the policing operation in Gosport cost over £300,000, not the £200,000 previously stated.
When will it end? What else don’t we know?
You may have seen the Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner’s reply to my letter last week. I'll be honest, her response gave me more questions than answers.
It seems the police are closing ranks behind a wall of silence.
The job of a Police and Crime Commissioner is not to be a mouthpiece for the leadership of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary. Their role is to scrutinise decisions taken by the police on your behalf. At the end of the day, your money was spent on welcoming these migrants into Hampshire.
To say I am angry about it doesn’t do it justice.
My concern is for the mum in Portchester who has told me she is worried for her daughter's safety.
My worry is for the good people of Fareham, Waterlooville and the whole of Hampshire who want to be able to live their lives in peace and quiet, without the police setting up cordons and asking them for ID when they’re out on a dog walk.
I still can’t believe this happened. A veteran of our amazing armed forces was asked for identification when out for their morning walk. The Section 34 “lockdown” order stayed in place until the Tuesday after the illegal immigrants arrived.
What happened to policing by consent, one of the greatest policing traditions in our country?
Why did all this happen? You deserve answers. I will not stop until we have them.
There must be a full investigation into what happened. There should be public hearings where we can find out the truth.
The brilliant, dedicated, hard-working rank-and-file police officers of Hampshire are being failed by a police establishment that refuses to be held to account and refuses to hold its hands up and say it got it wrong.
You can read my full reply to Donna Jones here
IS NOTHING SACRED?
20th October 2026
Is there nothing sacred in our country anymore?
It seems not even the poppy - the non-political, non-partisan symbol of remembrance and one of this country’s greatest symbol of collective unity is safe from being desecrated by the Palestinian mob.
Not content with anti-British hate marches every week, they now plan to desecrate the poppy.
And the man behind the plans?
A doctor in the NHS who, according to The Spectator magazine authorised a book series titled ‘An Introduction to Challenging Topics for Muslim Teens’.
The books provide justifications (within specific conditions) for stoning, crucification, cutting off hands and female genital mutilation.
Abdul Qader Ismail - the doctor in question is an active member of Greens for Palestine who describes same-sex attraction as a ‘test from Allah’, says homosexual relationships are wrong and has shared countless antisemitic posts, one even called Israel - and Jewish people themselves- a cancer.
It is disgusting.
He writes: ‘Even if we have homosexual feelings, we would not be able to act upon them without displeasing Allah… Having homosexual feelings is not a sin, and if we pray to Allah to help us and we do not act upon our feelings, Allah will be pleased with us.’
I don’t want to share a country with this man and I wouldn’t want you, I or anyone we loved to be treated by him in the NHS.
As I said yesterday, we have a fifth column embedded within our country, these people are in our hospitals, in our schools, in our police and in every single public institution in this country.
We can’t live like this.
And where does the money for the Palestine Poppy go? To organisations that want to end the ‘occupation’ of Palestine.
I wonder if that’s organisations like Hamas who want to wage war on the streets of Britain?
I bet it is.
There is no place for men like this in our NHS or indeed in our country. We defeated fascism in the Second World War and it looks like we will have to do it again.
I’ll be wearing my poppy with pride this year.
DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY IN HAMPSHIRE
19th October 2026
In Portsmouth this evening and reacting to the letters from Donna Jones, Hampshire’s Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner, and Alexis Boon, the Chief Constable.
Both are scrambling to try and justify the extortionate amount of money spent on locking the people of Gosport in their homes and forcing them to show ID as they went on a dog walk.
Donna Jones in her letter compared people going to work and walking to get the paper with last week’s South Coast Derby. She said a Section 34 order locking down Gosport was the same as policing a Pompey v Saints game.
It’s unbelievable.
Her letter completely defends Alexis Boon – there is no scrutiny of the decision, just collaboration and closing ranks.
On the same day the red carpet was rolled out for these illegal migrants, local people were being asked for ID on their morning walk.
The job of elected politicians is to hold institutions to account and speak truth to power. That is exactly what George and I will keep doing.
We won’t stop until we find out the true cost of this lockdown operation and a hearing is held in public to find out what really went on.
We’ve already seen the tragic consequences of two-tier policing in Hampshire this year.
It can’t be allowed to carry on.
MY CHAT WITH NICK ROBINSON
19th October 2026
I really enjoyed sitting down with Nick Robinson on the BBC for his podcast ‘Political Thinking’.
It was a chance to open up, to talk about my life and the tough times my family faced.
I talked about my time in Government, but also my hopeful and positive vision for our country and why I joined Reform UK.
You can watch or listen to the whole interview now.
Here is a snippet below!

GREAT EVENING IN KENT!
18th October 2026
An AMAZING and PACKED event in Kent!
It was fantastic to see so many patriots come out in force. Thank you for coming for a fantastic evening.
Together we will take our country back!
Buy Patriot: Empire, Betrayal and Hope, out now!
GIVING YOUNG PEOPLE HOPE
17th October 2026
Youth unemployment is a crisis. Over one million young people are not in education, employment or training.
I was delighted to be appointed Reform UK’s Education and Skills spokesman, because to fix this crisis, we need a skills revolution.
We need a total rethink of how we educate young people in this country and their relationship with learning and skills.
No more churning kids through the sausage maker of education and treating them all the same.
That’s why, as a first policy, I’ve announced the Apprenticeship Wage Credit: a 30% rebate for small businesses employing a young person, and a cash bonus paid directly to that same individual if they stay at the business and are successful.
As a package, it’s worth over £10,000 to each business and apprentice.
Our aims are substantial: a record number of apprentices by 2030.
So that’s why I was shocked today to read Labour’s plan to potentially increase the cost of retraining and reskilling employees by 25%. It’s totally wrong.
The cost of running a business in this country is already too high. Reform recognises that, and our guiding principle will always be to support small and medium-sized businesses.
The current system isn’t working. For years, ‘clever’ people in Westminster told a generation of young people that the only way to be successful was to go to university.
Frankly, that’s a load of rubbish.
50% of the population should not be going to university. Degrees should be targeted at professions where they are needed.
My advice to young people: follow your passion.
Get an apprenticeship, learn a trade and a skill. Get on the career ladder and start earning proper money, not getting into endless debt.
Only Reform are on the side of young people and small businesses.
MONITORING THE SITUATION IN GOSPORT
16th October 2026
Back out in Gosport on the water to see first hand what’s been going on.
I find it unbelievable that normal mums and dads had to prove who they were to Hampshire Police, just to get into their own homes, whilst these illegal men had the full red carpet rolled out for them by the establishment. It’s a scandal.
I’ve always been very clear and on your side. This madness, invasion and insanity has to stop.
How can it be right that these men are landing at the home of the Royal Navy and being housed at your expense?
It’s not right and under Reform UK, it will end.
KIRAN KAUR SHOULD BE DEPORTED
16th October 2026
Henry Nowak was 18. He was stabbed on a street in Southampton and died in handcuffs, telling the officers who arrested him that he had been stabbed and could not breathe. They refused to believe him because of his skin colour.
Now the mother of the man who killed him could be out of prison by Christmas.
Kiran Kaur took the knife from the scene and hid it to protect her son. She was jailed in July. Barely three months later, she may be walking free. Out before Christmas.
That is an insult to Henry and to a family who have shown extraordinary dignity through all of this.
Today I have written to the Justice Secretary to ask them to stop it.
What happened to Henry did not come out of nowhere. Identity politics has taken hold at the top of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Police. Race action plans, equity plans, endless box-ticking, so that on that night Henry was treated as the suspect, rather than the victim.
Justice is supposed to be blind. Once it starts asking who you are before asking what you did, it is no longer justice as we know it.
Lucy Connolly spent the best part of a year behind bars for an online post she deleted within three hours. Kiran Kaur hid a murder weapon and she may serve less than a year. Two-Tier Britain.
The British public are not fools. They can see two-tier justice with their own eyes, and they are right to be angry.
Kiran Kaur should not be released early.
She should be deported.
DISCUSSING ISLAMISM WITH WINSTON MARSHALL
16th October 2026
Great to be able to join the wonderful Winston Marshall on his podcast.
A fantastic interview on the crises facing the country: identity, citizenship, Islamism, Christianity and its future in modern Britain as well as the threat of mass uncontrolled immigration.
Wonderful to come on the show. Do give it a watch!

CALLING OUT THE BETRAYAL OF PIDDINGTON
14th October 2026
Labour, Lib Dems and Greens SUPPORT housing illegal migrants in Piddington.
Today in Parliament, I spoke up for the safety of women and girls against mass immigration. Yet our votes were defeated by the Government.
If Labour will vote to house illegal migrants in Oxfordshire you can bet they will put them in Hampshire.
Maybe that’s why, not a single backbench female Labour MP was present during my speech.
What does that tell you? Labour love mass immigration.
The Government is betraying the women and girls of Piddington by using the small village as a dumping ground for illegal migrants. They are making us unsafe.
Piddington is small, quintessential English village of 350 people that will be burdened with 1,256 single male asylum seekers.
That’s nearly 4x the local population. It’s a national scandal. The village has become a symbol for the fight that the British people are up against.
Did you know that Afghan and Eritrean nationals are 22x more likely to be convicted of sex crimes than British nationals? 40% of sexual assaults in London over the last 5 years have been committed by those born abroad.
How are the women of Piddington supposed to live in safety when these are the facts?
Be it Piddington, Portsmouth, Portchester or Plymouth I don’t want these men in our country.
At any other point in our country’s history, it would be labelled what it is, an invasion.
That’s exactly why, last year, when Waterlooville’s high street was threatened with an illegal migrant accommodation, I led a 10,000 strong petition and stood shoulder to shoulder with protestors.
It's exactly why I travelled to Piddington and met these brave women.
We have all had enough. I am sick of it.
How far has this country fallen when illegal migrants can be ferried around with a police escort, but mums and daughter have to look over their shoulders at night and have ID on them to get into the own homes?
Enough is enough.
We don’t have to live like this and that’s exactly what I said today in Parliament
DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR PORTSMOUTH
13th October 2026
No answer on the £200,000!
It’s been more than a week since the Gosport protests, and I’ve still had no reply from Hampshire’s Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner, Donna Jones.
Where are the answers? Where is the accountability?
Why was a ‘lockdown order’ placed over every man, woman and child in Gosport?
Why did mums and dads have to show ID just to get to their own front doors?
Why was the red carpet rolled out for these men at such an extortionate cost?
It seems serving police officers on duty agree with me. The policing operation was a disgrace.
I’ve said it before: £200,000 is outrageous. A single penny spent ferrying these men into our country is too much.
That money belongs to the British people. It’s your money, and the Government should be spending it on you, not on illegal immigrants.
Once again, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary seem to have fallen into the trap of two-tier policing. It’s become a recurring theme, and it is unacceptable.
I will keep pushing for answers, and I won’t give up. You deserve nothing less.
ONLY REFORM UK WILL GIVE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE A FUTURE
12th October 2026
The Labour Minister agrees with Reform’s policy of getting more young people off welfare and into apprenticeships.
But our Apprenticeship Wage Credit goes much further than the government.
Our plan will mean that small and medium sized businesses will receive up to £4000 per year when they take on an apprentice; rising to £6000 thanks to our Retention Bonus for those apprentices to stay on with the business afterwards.
If you’re a young person who wants to work, learn and move forward with your life, then Reform UK will support you every step of the way.
Me, in Parliament today.
REFORM UK WILL END THE ABUSE OF OUR ASYLUM SYSTEM
12th October 2026
Today, after what seems like an age in recess, Parliament is finally back.
Reform is hitting the ground running. This morning, Nigel Farage is announcing that a Reform UK Government will SHUT DOWN the asylum system.
The continued invasion of small boats into Hampshire and Kent is a national security emergency and must be dealt with.
It’s great to finally be in a party that truly understands the crisis our country is facing on our borders.
The British people are tolerant, kind and welcoming. But those traits have been abused by a political class in Westminster, welcoming men on boats from France, a safe country.
Nigel is the only leader with any political credibility on the issue that matters most to you and me: immigration. Over the last twenty years, no other party leader has spoken truth to power like he has.
I am excited to be back in Parliament and working hard for local people, speaking out for the patriotic majority who love our country and want to see a sense of order and control once again on our streets.
Have a good start to the week, whatever you are doing.
STANDING UP TO THE INVASION OF HAMPSHIRE
11th October 2026
Earlier this week I went down to a very windy Gosport and Haslar Marina. I had the chance to meet local people and see first hand what’s going on. Local people are angry and scared and their right to be.
Hampshire has become the new frontier for illegal migrants arriving into our country.
Yet local people were the ones locked down this time last week so that the red carpet could be rolled out for men who were safe in France and have no right to be here. It doesn’t make sense.
I’m also yet to receive a reply from Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones. Why was over £200,000 spent by the force as they tried to curtail a legitimate right to protest. You want answers and so do I.
Two-tier policing is real. We have already seen it in Hampshire earlier this year. It has to be called out. I’ve raised this in Parliament and will continue to do so.
I’ll keep standing with you against this injustice until this invasion is stopped.
GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE HOPE!
10th October 2026
Today, fewer young people are able to start a family, purchase property, or see a bright future ahead of them. Our streets look downtrodden: graffiti-strewn walls, the stench of cannabis, the nonchalance towards shoplifting.
Generations languish on welfare whilst the pride that comes from an honest day’s work seems to have evaporated. We are raising the loneliest and most anxious generation in our nation’s history: children who know little of the wisdom of Shakespeare or Churchill but spend their lives on TikTok, yearning for “likes” online.
Young people are being turned against their country, ashamed of everything it stands for. Only 41% of Gen Z feel proud to be British, compared to 80% twenty years ago. Almost half of this generation thinks that Britain is a racist country, up from 34%. If this trend continues, there will be nothing left to salvage.
My book is my attempt to address some of the challenges above and offer ways to deal with them. I am no historian or academic, but I am able to look at modern Britain through the prism of my family’s experience. I have attempted to give voice to those who still feel a profound love and gratitude for what Britain has done for civilisation. I write as a public servant who has witnessed firsthand the weaknesses in our political system that threaten to undo our nation’s greatness.

DEMANDING ANSWERS FROM HAMPSHIRE POLICE
9th October 2026
£220,000.
That’s how much the policing operation in Gosport reportedly cost to bring 149 illegal migrants into our country on Sunday.
It is an extortionate sum. The cost shouldn’t be £220,000. It shouldn’t be £100,000. It should be £0. What’s worse is that extraordinary figure doesn’t even include the wider costs from the MOD or other emergency services.
Local residents are angry. I understand that anger. You want what most people want: to live a quiet, peaceful life, to feel safe at home and to know that the law is on your side.
I’ve spoken to men and women who attended Sunday’s protest. You are not “far-right”. You are ordinary, hardworking people who have played by the rules, worked for what you have and paid into the system. You are entitled to be angry when you see people entering our country illegally and being accommodated at enormous expense to the taxpayer. That is exactly why last year I became the first MP to stand shoulder to shoulder with mums and dads protesting against a migrant hotel in Waterlooville.
This all makes me particularly angry because I grew up with a very different story of immigration. My parents came to Britain with very little. My father arrived alone as a teenager, clutching just his British passport as a child of the Empire. My mother worked in the NHS for more than 30 years.
They came here legally. They worked. They integrated. They served. They contributed. They never expected Britain to owe them a living. That is why the small-boats crisis makes me so angry.
I am still waiting for answers from Hampshire Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner, Donna Jones, about the handling of this week’s operation. Where is the public statement? Where is the accountability?
Residents have told me they felt locked down and were required to show identification simply to walk home.
Is this really what we have become? A “papers, please” society in which law-abiding local people feel they are being treated as the problem?
We have already seen serious concerns about two-tier policing in Hampshire over the past year.
I want answers. You deserve answers and I will keep fighting until we get them
THE TORIES HAVE NO ANSWERS
7th October 2026
Today the Conservatives will finish their conference. It is the first Tory Conference in more than 30 years that I have watched as a non-member. Like many of you, I clung on to the Conservative Party for far too long. Beyond all reason, I kept believing they would change.
The other day, I compared my relationship with the Conservatives to a spouse who keeps cheating on you and breaking your heart. Naively, every time, I took them back and told myself: “This time will be different.” But it never was and it never will be.
Yesterday, Kemi Badenoch said that the Conservative Cabinet in which she and I served did not notice the immigration problem. She said: “There were so many other things people were focusing on, so Ministers did not notice.”
Well, I noticed. You noticed. The whole country noticed.
When I walked into the Home Office in 2022, the situation was a disaster. Visas were out of control. The Boriswave, unleashed by the very people we had trusted in 2019 to take back control of our borders, was in full swing. The British people had been betrayed.
Time and again — in 2010, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 — millions of people voted for lower immigration and greater control over our borders. What did they get? The opposite.
I tried to fight back and, to be fair, there were civil servants in Whitehall who were up for the fight too. By the end of my tenure, we had secured changes that were beginning to work. But much of the damage had already been done.
That was the fundamental problem with the Conservative Party. They would tell the electorate one thing and say something completely different behind closed doors. Publicly, they promised lower immigration. Privately, I heard: “Oh Suella, we can’t lower immigration. Just think of the economy.” I have seen the Conservative Party up close. These people were my political family. Many were my friends.
But they betrayed me. More importantly, they betrayed you — and the millions of people who voted for controlled immigration, secure borders, safer streets and a government that put the British people first.
Perhaps nothing sums up my former party better than what happened when I finally left. On the very day I resigned from the Conservatives, people within the party resorted to a totally fabricated smear about my mental health in an attempt to discredit me and damage the movement I had joined. After three decades of loyalty, that was their response.
There is an old lesson in life: when someone finally shows you who they are, believe them. I finally have.
But I don't want to end on the past. I want to look to the future. Joining Reform — apart from marrying my husband and having our children — was one of the best decisions of my life.
For the first time in years, I feel politically at home. I feel hopeful again. I am surrounded by people who love our country, believe in its future and are determined to fight for it.
We cannot change what the Conservatives did with the trust that millions of us placed in them. But we can decide what happens next.
We can rebuild our borders. We can make our streets safe. We can restore pride in our country. We can put British families first and we can give people something that has been missing from our politics for far too long: hope.
That is why I joined Reform. At the next election, every voter will have their own choice to make about the future they want for Britain. For me, that future is Reform.
The old chapter is closed. Now it is time to build something better
STOP THE GOVERNMENT-FACILITATED INVASION!
5th October 2026
The Government is actively facilitating an invasion into our country via Hampshire and the home of our Royal Navy.

In Gosport today with the local Reform team.
STOP THE GOSPORT INVASION!
23rd September 2026
The invasion has now reached Gosport- just next to Fareham.
Why?
Because successive governments have made Britain a soft touch.
Only Reform will stop the invasion.
Patriot: Empire, Betrayal and Hope
21st September 2026
I’ve written a book. It’s called ‘Patriot: Empire, Betrayal and Hope’.
It’s a memoir about the British Empire, my parents’ migration to the UK and growing up in Thatcher’s Britain.
And of course, it covers my time in government. I’ve written a candid account of what I witnessed: Tory lies, betrayal and failure.
And why I lost all faith in the party I supported for 30 years.
Out on 1st October 2026.
PORTCHESTER LOCAL UPDATES
18th September 2026
Always love the views from Portchester.
KEEP WOMEN AND GIRLS SAFE!
15th September 2026
Men and boys have no place in girls’ changing rooms. And the NSPCC should fix its guidance to make that clear.
My question to the Education Secretary.

STOP PIDDINGTON BEING FLOODED WITH ILLEGAL MIGRANTS!
14th September 2026
In response to their open letter asking for support my colleague @sarahpochinmp and I visited the village of Piddington today.
If the government really cared about local people they would cancel the asylum centre plans NOW.
Only Reform UK will stop the boats.
VOTING AGAINST THE DANGEROUS ASSISTED DYING BILL
11th September 2026
After a whistle-stop race across the country and meeting some great apprentices, I made it back to Parliament just in time to vote against the poorly thought-out and dangerous assisted dying bill.
One of those days that I’ll never forget:

STANDING UP FOR WHITE WORKING-CLASS BOYS
9th September 2026
We need to do more to help white working-class children, especially boys.
My question to the Education Secretary today:
STOP THE INVASION OF PORTSMOUTH!
7th September 2026
Local residents are rightly terrified at the horrifying scenes of illegal migrants now landing in Portsmouth, marking a dangerous escalation of the migration crisis in the Channel. Portsmouth shows just how badly this Government is losing the battle against the small boats.
I went out into Portsmouth Harbour the next day, speaking to local people directly. What struck me most was that people are furious, terrified and desperate, and they are not far-right racists, whatever some in Westminster would like to claim. They are ordinary residents who simply want their Government to get a grip and control our borders.
Back in Parliament, I told the Minister exactly what people across Fareham, Waterlooville and Portsmouth think about illegal migration, and pressed her for some important assurances. She failed to answer the questions, so I've now written directly to the Home Secretary demanding a proper response and seeking assurances that Hampshire will not become another Kent.

WATCH MY SPEECH AT THE REFORM UK CONFERENCE!
5th September 2026
My full speech to the Reform conference.
Thank you Reformers for making this the best ever.
We keep marching on.
DEFENDING LOCAL RESIDENTS
13th September 2026
I’ve spoken to many residents in Denmead about illegal travellers. I’ve written to the council, spoken to the police. Nothing changes.
The truth is that these people should not be here. And yet Winchester City Council are doing nothing.
I’ve spoken to Hampshire Police and they, too are not doing anything to clamp down on the harassment and, at times, illegal activity going on at these sites.
The authorities simply refuse to act. And the government is going to make it worse.
I’ll keep fighting for local residents and keep urging the local council and the police to actually do something.
REFORM UK BACKS BRITAIN'S APPRENTICES

JUSTICE FOR ARIA THORPE
19th August 2026
Great event last night in Warsash with Hamble Valley and Fareham & Waterlooville Reform teams. Well done Josh, Gail and the team for organising and fantastic evening.
JUSTICE FOR ARIA THORPE
14th August 2026
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing when the family of Aria Thorpe told me about the ordeal they’ve been through.
In my view the trial judge misdirected the jury on the legal test relating to murder and manslaughter. As a result, the jury acquitted.
I’ve written to the Attorney General and to the Prime Minister demanding that this case be referred to the Court of Appeal so that the question of law be clarified and we prevent another miscarriage of justice like this.
Please follow the campaign Justice for Aria Thorpe
I’ll keep fighting for Justice for Aria. You can sign my petition here : https://www.suellabraverman.co.uk/justiceforaria
PROGRESS IN WELBORNE
7th August 2026
Great to see the fantastic progress at Welborne and check out their new cafe, Corner Cafe.
Pleased to have supported this development over the last decade including securing important funding.
Junction 10 upgrade nearly done too!
STANDING UP FOR BEREWOOD
5th August 2026
The residents of Berewood were promised a GP Surgery and it still hasn’t been delivered.
I’ve set up a taskforce with Grainger, the Hampshire Integrated Care Board and local councils to find a solution.
Nothing yet but I will keep speaking up for local residents. Grainger and the ICB need to work together to keep their promises to local people.
If you agree, sign my petition at https://www.suellabraverman.co.uk/berewoodgpsurgery
CALLING OUT THE GREAT UNIVERSITY SCAM
30th July 2026
It’s right that we invest more into technical and vocational training for young people.
But Andy Burnham’s plan won’t work without proper investment, good quality training and courage to call out the Great University Scam.
SOUTHWICK SURGERY
25th July 2026
Good to meet local residents in Southwick at my July residents surgery.
I’ve helped thousands of local people with all sorts of challenges. Email me if you would like to discuss anything: Suella.braverman.mp@parliament.uk
ATTENDING REFORM UK RALLY IN BRIGHTON
24th July 2026
Had a great evening with Brighton and Hove Reform UK branch members at their Summer Ball.
The last chance to save Britain.
MY SPEECH TO CPAC GB
16th July 2026
Enjoyed speaking at CPAC GB about how a Reform UK government will restore patriotism, opportunity and fairness to our country, especially for White Working Class Boys.
LET PORTSMOUTH FLY OUR FLAG!
14th July 2026
I’ve written to the Leader for Portsmouth City Council urging him to rethink his decision to take the England flags off residential balconies.
It’s quite something when a little bit of patriotism before the big match has become a ‘health and safety risk’. What is this country coming to?
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED MY HEALTH SUMMIT!
2nd July 2026
Over two hours, residents shared their experiences and pressed for improvements, while health bosses outlined ongoing work to expand capacity, reduce waiting times and strengthen local services. The summit provided a rare opportunity for open dialogue, ensuring that the voices of Waterlooville, Havant and the wider constituency were heard
I want to reaffirm my commitment to securing better healthcare for local families and will continue to work closely with NHS leaders to ensure that the issues raised at the summit translate into real, practical improvements for the community.
Help make Henry Cort a SEND School!
13th June 2026
Hampshire County Council have decided to relocate Henry Cort Community College to Whiteley. I opposed this decision at the time, but it has been made.
Now, HCC plans to convert the Henry Cort site into a secure unit for 18 young people.
I believe this is wrong.
I’m campaigning to urge HCC to make Henry Cort a Special Education Needs Centre of Excellence. I’ve met too many families struggling to get an assessment or an education for their children. The system lacks capacity and Henry Cort would be the ideal site to provide extra resource.
This is not party political. I’m working with Fareham Borough Councillor Kerry Stubbs, Hampshire County Councillor Richard Harris and local SEND campaigner Steve Higgins. If you support the campaign sign the petition at https://www.suellabraverman.co.uk/about-5-5
Let’s work together to make Henry Cort a Special Education Needs School.
Commemorating the heroics of D-Day at Southwick
6th June 2026
It may have been wet, windy and cold, but that did not dampen spirits at Southwick’s D-Day Revival today.
Incredibly honoured to join everyone to mark the heroism at the home of Operation Overlord in Southwick.
Thank you to Southwick Revival Committee led by the fantastic Martin Bazeley and all the volunteers who made this year’s event fantastic.
Appealing for justice for Henry Nowak
2nd June 2026
Henry Nowak’s murder is a tragedy but we still don’t have justice for Henry yet.
That’s why I wrote to the Attorney General today requesting that Digwa’s sentence be referred to the Court of Appeal because it is unduly lenient.
As a former Attorney General, the minimum term handed down should have been longer than 21 years given the significant aggravating factors.
I will keep fighting to end the abhorrent two-tier system in our police service.
Tackling Issues with Local Home Builders
22nd May 2026
I’ve been getting more and more residents complaining about house builders.
Whilst most of the new homes being built are good quality there have been some real problems for local residents.
I can’t promise justice every time but I’ll do all I can to fight your corner against bad construction companies.
Fareham and Waterlooville votes Reform UK!
8th May 2026
What a seismic moment this is for British politics!
Thank you to the many thousands of people who voted yesterday in a very high-turnout election throughout Hampshire.
We had an amazing result with Reform winning in Fareham & Waterlooville.
In some wards, Reform candidates won with over 50% of the vote (congrats to Jason Gillen, Kev Parsons, Gwen Robinson, Kerry Stubbs and Richard Harris and Paul Woolley, our Reform councillors!)
Throughout Hampshire, Reform has gained many new county councillors, with the Conservative vote collapsing and now being under No Overall Control.
Voting Conservative is now a wasted vote. If you want real change, vote Reform UK.
Nigel Farage in Waterlooville!
3rd May 2026
What a great morning and honour to welcome Nigel Farage to Waterlooville- and have a pint at The Heroes Pub afterwards!
Needless to say- he was mobbed!
We have a fantastic team of Reform candidates standing in Fareham, Havant, Winchester and Hampshire: all hard-working, dedicated and experienced people who want change.
Vote Reform on May 7th to Get Starmer Out!
Happy St George’s Day!
23rd April 2026
Patriotic celebrations in Gosport!
Standing up for Women's Safety
22nd April 2026
I recently met with the Darlington nurses and Jennifer Melle in Parliament.
They were harassed, victimised and treated appallingly simply for wanting to protect single sex spaces for biological women in the NHS.
I have written to the Health Secretary urging him to issue guidance to the NHS that makes clear that biological sex should be upheld as set out in the Supreme Court case and that transwomen (ie men) should be treated in separate wards to biological women.
London Road HMO
13th April 2026
I’m very concerned by the decision of the Labour‑Lib Dem‑Green‑run Havant Borough Council to approve a 12-bed HMO planning application in Waterlooville. It has not been ruled out that this could be used for asylum seekers, and it’s another example of local politicians putting ideology before the interests of residents.
They should never have approved it, and local people have every right to feel frustrated and ignored.
Well done and thank you to Reform UK Councillor Gwen Robinson for standing up for our community and opposing this damaging proposal. Gwen represents exactly what local politics should be about: integrity, accountability, and a genuine commitment to putting residents first.
On May 7th, you have the chance to send a clear message that enough is enough. It’s time to bring back common sense, competence, and courage to Havant Borough Council.
Vote Reform to put local people, not party politics, back in charge!

Happy Easter!
5th April 2026
We are so lucky to have some truly beautiful churches here in Fareham and Waterlooville, places of peace, reflection, and community.
Easter is always a special time to come together with family and friends, to celebrate hope, renewal, and faith. It’s also a reminder of our country’s deep Christian roots with traditions that have shaped our values, guided our institutions, and given us a shared sense of purpose for centuries.
I’m proud that Britain is a Christian country and that our churches continue to play such a vital role in local life, bringing people together, supporting those in need, and keeping faith alive for generations to come.
I Hope you all had a wonderful Easter surrounded by loved ones!
Hopscotch in Fareham!
2nd April 2026
Very excited that Hopscotch Day Nurseries will be opening a new nursery in Fareham at the old Ashcroft Arts Centre later this year.
I’m pleased to have supported this initiative last year and to have worked with Hampshire County Council and the team to help move this forward.
This will be a great community asset!
Watch my video on Facebook here! - https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1KeUKiJTC5/
Fix the potholes!
30th March 2026
I’ll keep urging Hampshire County Council to fix the potholes.
Several residents have complained to me about the state of roads in different parts of Fareham & Waterlooville, like London Road in Waterlooville and Wynton Way in Fareham where I saw loads recently.
You pay your Council Tax and deserve better!
Scrap the Family Farm Tax
27th March 2026
Good meeting today at Rookesbury Park with the Country Land and Business Association and local farmers from Fareham and Waterlooville. It was a valuable opportunity to listen to those who know our countryside best and understand the realities of running farms and rural businesses day to day.
We spoke about the challenges facing British farming from rising costs and regulation to the need for long‑term investment and sustainable food production. Our farmers work tirelessly to feed the nation, care for the land, and support local jobs, and their contributions deserve both recognition and support.
I’ll continue working with local landowners and the CLA to champion rural communities, protect our farmland, and ensure British agriculture remains at the heart of a strong, self‑reliant nation.
Ending DEI at the FA
24th March 2026
The Football Association wants to mandate that 1 in 4 football coaches come from a Black, Asian or other minority background.
As the saying in football goes, this is utter woke nonsense. The game’s gone.
Fans don’t care what the coach looks like. They just want the best person for the job, based on merit alone. That’s what gets results.
Not tokenism.
I’ve written to the FA urging a rethink. I’m happy to help them draw up a fairer policy.
Let’s kick racism out of football, including anti-white racism.
Visiting Golders Green
23rd March 2026
This evening I visited Golders Green following the disgraceful attack on the Jewish community last night.
This is not who we are as a country. Britain stands for law, order, and respect and it is utterly unacceptable that British Jews are being targeted on our streets. For too long, we’ve seen weak words and hand‑wringing from those in power, while antisemitism has been allowed to fester.
The time for words is over. We need real action from the Government to protect our communities and reassert British values. That means proscribing the IRGC, a dangerous, extremist organisation that spreads terror and hatred well beyond Iran’s borders. It means banning the Muslim Brotherhood, which fuels division and imports Islamist ideology into our towns and cities, and it means ending the so‑called “hate marches” that have turned our streets into platforms for antisemitism and extremism under the guise of protest.
Help Fareham Boxing Club!
20th March 2026
Can you help Fareham Amateur Boxing Club?
We have an amazing community boxing club which needs a permanent home.
Do you own or know of an empty shop unit, warehouse or space that the club could use to support young and old members of the community to keep fit through boxing?
If so, email me at suella.braverman.mp@parliament.uk.
Visit to QA Hospital
6th March 2026
Very good meetings with local residents at my surgery at Portchester Community Centre this month.
I’m very concerned to hear homeowners complain about poor service from house builders such as Vistry and Abri- new build homes which have been defective but not repaired by the developers. I’m calling on these companies to fix the defects and stop failing local residents.
With Nigel in Southwick!
11th March 2026
Great to welcome Nigel Farage to the famous Golden Lion Pub in Southwick to meet some of our local Reform UK team in Fareham and Waterlooville. Reform UK Fareham and Waterlooville!
A great couple of days kicking off our Local Elections Tour in Hampshire.
March MP Surgery
6th March 2026
Very good meetings with local residents at my surgery at Portchester Community Centre this month.
I’m very concerned to hear homeowners complain about poor service from house builders such as Vistry and Abri- new build homes which have been defective but not repaired by the developers.
I’m calling on these companies to fix the defects and stop failing local residents.
Tea and cake in Denmead
1st March 2026
Delicious tea and cake in Denmead. I love being able to take time to meet people and see all of the amazing businesses. Fareham and Waterlooville has to offer.
