Suella Braverman now is 42 years old, is the Conservative Party's Member of Parliament for Fareham in south-east England. She was the Attorney General in the Boris Johnson administration.

Braverman is a Buddhist who routinely visits the London Buddhist Center and took her oath of office in Parliament based on the "Dhammapada," the written collection of Lord Buddha's teachings.
