Over in the UK, another high-profile member of the Conservative Party has defected to Nigel Farage's Reform Party. 

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, well known for championing the controversial Rwanda plan, has joined the party. 

It follows defections from others like former Chancellor of the Exchequer Nadhim Zahawai and Conservative Party leader candidate Robert Jenrick. 

UK correspondent Enda Brady says it's damaging for the Conservatives to lose such a high-profile member.
