UK’s Liz Truss Aiming for Political Comeback at Head of a New ‘Popular Conservatism’ Movement
People behind the push say it promises a ‘new movement aiming to restore democratic accountability to Britain’ and deliver ‘popular’ Tory policies.

The shortest-serving prime minister in the history of Great Britain, Liz Truss, will this week attempt a political comeback, rallying behind libertarian and right-of-center Tory MPs as she seeks to boost the profile of a new “Popular Conservatism” movement challenging the current prime minister, Rishi Sunak.
Ms. Truss, whose tenure as prime minister in the fall of 2022 lasted just 50 days, will reportedly head up a conference of these so-called “PopCons” during a conference in central London Tuesday. Also attending the conference, according to the Times of London, will be Brexit champion Nigel Farage and a former business secretary, Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg.
