Richard Tice said no one in the new cabinet believes in 'significantly reducing immigration'

Richard Tice has shared his thoughts on Lord David Cameron's new role as Foreign Secretary, after the former Prime Minister was brought back into frontline politics by Rishi Sunak.

On Monday, the Prime Minister sacked Suella Braverman as Home Secretary, following a series of controversial comments on the pro-Palestinian marches in London, and accusing the Met Police of "playing favourites" with their handling of protests.


Among the newly appointed cabinet, Lord David Cameron walked into Downing Street to replace James Cleverly as Foreign Secretary, as Cleverly became Braverman's replacement.

In a scathing letter to Sunak, Braverman said the Prime Minister "manifestly and repeatedly failed" to deliver on every single one of his key policies.

In his first meeting with his new cabinet, Sunak welcomed his "strong and united" team to Downing Street.

He stated: "I'm confident that we can demonstrate to the country that we're making progress on the priorities that I set out at the beginning of the year - to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists and to stop the boats."

Reacting to the fallout of Braverman's sacking, leader of the Reform Party Richard Tice said the letter was "absolutely seismic".

Tice added: "You look at the cabinet full of people who voted Remain despite the fact that the whole point is we were supposed to get Brexit done, take advantage of all the Brexit opportunities, that's all out the window."

Tice continued: "So the Prime Minister's got rid of Brexiteers, brought in Remainers, including now Lord Cameron. I struggle to say that, I must say.

"And so, and there's no one in that cabinet who believes in controlling our borders, who seriously believes in significantly reducing immigration.

Tice was then asked by Andrew Pierce about the Brexit stance of Rishi Sunak, and if he "buys the idea" that Sunak is a committed Brexiteer.

Tice fumed: "What's James Cleverly ever said of note about immigration, either lawful or unlawful? He said nothing. And I think that's pretty shocking given the clear indication from Conservative voters."

Andrew then suggested that Suella Braverman's next plan is to run for Conservative Party leader, to which Tice agreed, highlighting her letter to the Prime Minister.

Tice pointed out: "Well, look at the last sentence. She will support the government in pursuit of policies that align with an authentic Conservative agenda.

"So the implication there is that this government does not have an authentic Conservative agenda."
