Blue collar – or blue blood?
SOLOMON HUGHES shines a light on Tory fake grassroots group Blue Collar Conservatism which is fronted and funded by some of the richest people in Britain

THE group of Conservative MPs claiming to represent “blue-collar workers” is funded by a City trader who is one of Britain’s richest men.
Blue Collar Conservatism is a Tory group claiming to “focus on working-class voters” and fight Labour’s “posh metropolitan socialism.” It lists 158 MPs as supporters on its website.
Figures from the Electoral Commission show Michael Spencer is Blue Collar Conservatism’s chief funder — he has given the Tory group £45,000 since 2019, with the latest donation, £15,000, made last July.
