Truss summons ‘Secret Tories’ to fight Davos and Left
Former prime minister Liz Truss during the launch of the Popular Conservatism movement at the Emmanuel Centre in central London, in a bid to rally right-wing Tory MPs ahead of a general election this year, February 6, 2024

SECRET Tories were summoned to the fight against “Davos man” and the global left at today’s launch of the Popular Conservatives movement.

The new group is fronted by ex-premier Liz Truss, who used her speech to rail against “wokery,” obstructive institutions, left-wing “extremists” and environmentalists.

Running through a list of enemies almost longer than her catastrophic time in Downing Street, Ms Truss nevertheless claimed that Britain was “full of secret Conservatives — people who agree with us but don’t want to admit it,” while the Tory party had been appeasing “left-wing extremists.”
