YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Investigative journalist Peter Geoghegan discusses 'PopCons' funding with James O'Brien, drawing possible links to a 'hard right think tank aiming to dismantle the US' administrative state'.

Former British prime minister Liz Truss has launched the new movement in a bid to rally right-wing Tory MPs ahead of a general election this year.

Other members include ex-Cabinet minister Jacob Rees-Mogg and Lee Anderson, who recently quit as deputy Tory chairman over the Rwanda bill.

The group is seeking to pile pressure on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to cut taxes and be tougher on immigration.
