A BBC piece. An extract with the only mention of Suella Braverman in the piece:

“Meanwhile, another recent Tory defector, Suella Braverman, has been handed the education and skills brief, with deputy leader Richard Tice given a new role combining business, trade and energy policy.”

The BBC is spinning the story, as we would expect. A lengthier Times piece includes the following:

“Suella Braverman will be Reform UK’s shadow secretary of state for education and skills, Nigel Farage has confirmed in the final appointment to his “shadow cabinet”…

Britain has been “ripped apart” by diversity, equality and inclusion, Braverman said, accusing the initiative of being “prejudice against white people”.

She said Reform UK would get rid of the equalities department on “day one”, scrap the equalities minister — the role she is responsible for — and repeal the Equalities Act.”
