Popular Conservatism or PopCon, is a right-wing faction within the British Conservative Party.[1] The director of the group is Mark Littlewood, who is an ally of the former prime minister Liz Truss.[2]

Ideology

The group is ideologically on the right wing of the Conservative Party, particularly on economic issues. It is right-libertarian and opposes what it sees as a left-wing establishment consensus, saying: "a majority in the House of Commons is no longer enough to turn us away from the path of Blairite declinism. The institutions of Britain – from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) to the Supreme Court to the Climate Change Committee – now stand in the way of meaningful reform".[3]

History

The inaugural public meeting of the movement was held at the Emmanuel Centre, London on 6 February 2024. Speakers included former minister Jacob Rees-Mogg, backbench MP Lee Anderson, and political strategist and lobbyist Matthew Elliott. In the audience were former Home Secretary Priti Patel, former minister and Brexit negotiator David Frost, former UKIP and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, attending in his capacity as a journalist for GB News,[4][5] and former actress and pop singer Holly Valance.[6]
