"Liz Truss Launches PopCons Movement to Target 'Secret Tories' and Shake Up British Politics"

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has launched a campaign to rally "secret Conservatives" and combat what she perceives as the dominance of "left wing extremists" in British institutions. The movement, called Popular Conservatism, aims to challenge "wokery" and restore faith in democracy by targeting unelected bodies and bureaucrats that hinder conservative policies. Truss's initiative has drawn support from prominent right-wing figures, including Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nigel Farage, but faces skepticism due to her low popularity and turbulent past as prime minister.
