NEW: Pop Con, director Mark Littlewood, longtime friend and ally of Lizz Truss,
 

Lizz Truss is Back.

Loads of big-money backers at that event.


[Liz Truss is back. The former prime minister
has launched a campaign to "galvanize"
Britain's "secret Conservatives" and
fight back against the "left wing extremists"
she claims have taken over Britain's
institutions.

In a speech in the grand surroundings
of Westminster's Emmanuel Centre,
Lizz Truss said successive Tory governments
had failed "to stand up for Conservative values".
She accused Conservative ministers of
"pandering to the anti-capitalists"
in the environmental movement and
elsewhere - and some Tory MPs
of caring more about being "popular
at London dinner parties" than
pursuing policies popular with voters.

She told a hall packed with Britain's
leading right wingers,
including Professor David Starkey
and Vote Leave director Matthew Elliott,
that the Popular Conservatism movement
would challenge "wokery" and, ultimately,
"restore faith in democracy".
What she did not do was directly attack
Rishi Sunak.
The people behind
Popular Conservativism - or Pop Con for
short - insist they are not out to
undermine the prime minister or
wreck his general election campaign.

Sir Simon Clarke - the leading right winger
who recently called for Mr Sunak to go - was
asked not to speak at the launch event,
we are told.]
