Overview
- The event, scheduled for 10am in London and live streamed, is billed as “Why and how to leave the ECHR.”
- Suella Braverman and Lord David Frost will share a platform with Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice at the Legatum Institute’s Prosperity Institute.
- A spokesman for Braverman said she is not defecting, countering speculation sparked by Tice’s announcement of the joint appearance.
- Frost has not ruled out running for Reform UK in the future and has said he is not emotionally committed to the Conservatives.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch’s office said Braverman is free to attend events and pointed to a forthcoming Lord Wolfson review on the practicalities of any ECHR exit.
