Suella Braverman launches new TikTok account for the General Election
Suella Braverman‘s new TikTok account has been slammed on social media as users say the video is ‘unsettling.’
The former Home Secretary launched her TikTok account three days ago and since then her videos have already gained thousands of views.
In one video posted yesterday the Tory candidate for Fareham and Waterlooville posted a video of herself miming to an audio from a recent viral video of a mother asking her family if they want to go to the Four Seasons Orlando – which went on to gain over 40million views on TikTok.
The video then abruptly cuts to Mrs Braverman strutting towards the camera with the 2006 club class Let Me Think About It by Fedde Le Grand playing in the background.
Since posting the clip, which has over 16,000 views on TikTok, social media users have took to X to share their opinions on Mrs Braverman’s new digital first approach to campaigning.

Kelly Duddridge wrote: ‘That’s so Bad.’
While X user Rob JL claimed seeing Mrs Braverman in her normal clothes was ‘unsettling.’
Another user said: ‘That’s possibly one of the most cringeworthy things I have ever seen in my life…’
Meanwhile X user Petey simply said: ‘Oh dear.’
On TikTok, Mrs Braverman did find some more supportive comments which perhaps came from her over 300 followers she has amassed since creating the account.
One user said: ‘Good luck Suella.’
And another described the Tory candidate as their favourite MP.
Mrs Braverman is not the first politician to utilise TikTok as a campaign tool during the snap election.
Labour has focused heavily on the platform so far in the campaign with some of their videos amassing over 2million views.
The party did land themselves in hot water for a recent video using a clip from Harry Potter – which had to taken down due to copyright infringements.
Nigel Farage has received the most views on the platform so far having gained over 12million likes.
A video of the Reform UK candidate for Clacton singing along to the Eminem hit song Without Me has over 5million views on TikTok as of writing.
