Suella Braverman was the first MP to be sworn in on a copy of the Dhammapada! That's hardly paying lip service to the supremacy of Anglicanism in the UK, is it.
Reform UK's Suella Braverman promises ‘consequences’ if pupils don’t sing Christian hymns. That would be policed.
So what happens to atheists, agnostics, non-believers and other religious denominations.
Will they be persecuted, imprisoned?
Reform UK getting desperate and bizarre.

For context, Braverman swore her oath of allegiance as an MP on the Buddhist Dhammapada.

What is particularly odd about this is that Braverman is Buddhist (she took the oath of allegiance on the Dhammapada) and her husband is Jewish.
In her Reform conference speech, Suella Braverman said that under a Reform government, schoolchildren will be obliged to sing the national anthem and “our great hymns”.
I cannot imagine that this anything but a net vote loser.
