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.] GBnewsHD Top Reporter Nigel Farage was there. Also Top Political Reporter Christopher Hope. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68218299 Last edited by arista; 06-02-2024 at 03:49 PM. |
