POLL OF THE DAY: Should Suella Braverman be the next Tory leader? - YOUR VERDICT

Meanwhile, speaking on GB News to Camilla Tominey, the former Home Secretary refused to be drawn on suggestions she is set to run for Tory leader.

She also admitted to “looking” at Reform UK amid claims her brand of politics would be better served with Nigel Farage’s party.

“You’re not ruling this out”, Tominey probed, to which Braverman said she is “having lots of conversations”.

“I know you want the drama and headlines but I will have to disappoint you”, she said.

“There will be no announcements. Unlike 2019 and 2022, we have the luxury of being in opposition.

“There is no urgency to install a new leader. What is urgent and absolutely essential is we as a party reflect and accept what got us into this existentially damaging situation.

“There are still disagreements. Many of my colleagues feel we have to do more of the same. That is what concerns me.”

Braverman suggested the Tories need to position themselves more to the right if they are to win back voters after suffering a crushing defeat at the General Election.

She explained: “We are facing an existential threat from Reform.

“We have to change ourselves to neutralise that threat. This is not about which party I am in, this is about what the Conservatives stand for.

“We should be standing for lower migration, lower taxation, more housing and aspiration. We have to provide hope for the next generation. We failed to build enough houses, for example.

“I think I am talking like a Conservative.”

GB News members who voted in the poll were torn as to whether Suella Braverman should be the next Tory leader, with 62 per cent thinking she should.

On the other hand, 32 per cent don't think she should, while six per cent are unsure.
