A platform which saw brutal populist Lee Anderson followed by 18th century aristo Jacob Rees-Mogg, in turn succeeded by swivel-eyed ex-premier Liz Truss is not for the faint-hearted.
“This is not about the Tory leadership,” PopCon’s new director said at the launch. That suggests that it is not for the truthful either.
