It is hard to think of another people that has given more to the world than the British. Until very recently, Great Britain could claim to be the most successful country in history, with an unparalleled global impact, military record, and cultural achievements. We Americans are part of that legacy. Today, once-great Britain is perhaps the most degraded nation in the West, with almost no mainstream opposition to population replacement and political repression. The most stalwart recent champion for the British people isn’t even racially British.

Until recently, Suella Braverman was Home Secretary under Conservative prime minister Rishi Sunak. Neither is white, but both at least promised to control immigration. Tory promises don’t mean much; the party has been in power for more than a decade and mass immigration, multiculturalism, and overt anti-white hatred have all gotten worse. Mrs. Braverman may seem an unlikely champion for the British people — she is the daughter of Indian-origin immigrants from Africa. Sadly, this seems to be the best the Tories can produce. Indeed, she was too staunch for the Conservatives.

The Prime Minister has just fired her. In response, Mrs. Braverman accused him of being a fraud. In a brave public letter, Mrs. Braverman accused him of breaking “certain conditions” that he accepted to get her support during the leadership fight after the fall of Boris Johnson. These included reducing legal immigration, putting British law over international law on border control, protecting parental rights, and opposing transgenderism in schools. “I trusted you,” she wrote. “It is generally agreed that my support was a pivotal factor in winning the leadership contest and thus enabling you to become prime minister.” She reportedly has documents to prove her charges.

Mrs. Braverman hinted that she would pursue her own leadership challenge. “You have manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on every single one of these key policies,” she wrote. “Either your distinctive style of government means you are incapable of doing so. Or, as I must surely conclude now, you never had any intention of keeping your policies. These are not just pet interests of mine. They are what we promised the British people in our 2019 manifesto which led to a landslide victory. They are what people voted for in the 2016 Brexit referendum.”

At the time, many thought Brexit was a political earthquake. There has been hardly a tremor. Many British voters hoped an independent Britain would take control of its borders, but the Tories have increased immigration. In 2019, the party broke Labour’s “Blue Wall,” winning white working-class voters and setting up what could have been a major realignment. Boris Johnson, who deserved credit for both political accomplishments, squandered his chances by increasing immigration, miring the United Kingdom in the Ukraine war, and flouting his own government’s draconian COVID-19 rules. The colorless (well, not racially) Prime Minister Sunak is unlikely to change the Tories’ direction, and Labour has a commanding lead going into the next general election. The Tories seem to be deliberately undermining their 2019 victory.

As part of Mr. Sunak’s cabinet reshuffle, he brought back former prime minister David Cameron as foreign secretary. This is an insult to Conservative voters who have been begging for a new course since Mr. Cameron left office. The Conservatives fell even further in the polls against Labour in the immediate aftermath.

A Labour victory would mean further attacks on the Monarchy, and even a possible breakup of the United Kingdom. But already, on immigration, anti-white racism, and attacks on free speech, the Tories have sunk to the bottom. It would be better if such destructive policies were openly championed by an anti-white Left — which might spawn a real nationalist opposition. Even the end of the Union might be worth it if it gave birth to an effective English nationalist party.
