Suella Braverman's husband is reportedly set to join Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

Rael Braverman is expected to become a senior campaigner for the insurgent party on defending farmers.

The former home secretary has also been tipped to follow him next year.

A senior Tory source told the Mail on Sunday: "She will watch and wait for a year or 18 months before deciding to follow suit."

Another added: "Suella will definitely be going over at some point."

But last night Mrs Braverman said: "I am not defecting."

It comes after former Tory minister Dame Andrea Jenkyns was unveiled as Reform's candidate to be mayor of Greater Lincolnshire.

Mr Farage's party also. recently overtook Labour for the first time in a national opinion poll.
