Suella Braverman - 'The Conservative Party has let you down'

Suella Braverman has been re-elected as MP for Fareham and Waterlooville with a majority of 6,079. Ms Braverman received 17,561 votes and closest rival,  Labour's Gemma Furnivall, received 11,482 votes.

In Ms Braverman's acceptance speech she apologised to the country and said: "The Conservative Party has let you down."

Thank you to the good people of Fareham and Waterlooville. You've placed your trust in me as your voice in parliament for the 4th time now. The people of Fareham and Waterlooville are the best of Britain, patriotic, common sense, kindly, dedicated, enterprising, and I'm humbled to continue as your servant in parliament. I will endeavor to work for you, to speak for you, and to deliver for you time and time again.

Now finally, I want to briefly address the results in the rest of the country. And there is only one thing that I can say, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that my party didn't listen to you. The Conservative Party has let you down.

You, the great British people, voted for us over 14 years, and we did not keep our promises. We've acted as if we're entitled to your vote, regardless of what we did, regardless of what we didn't do, despite promising time after time that we would do those things. And we need to learn our lesson, because if we don't, bad as tonight has been for my party, we'll have many worse nights to come.
