James O'Brien hears from LBC's Joseph Draper live from the right-wing event CPAC GB. The three-day event hosted talks from ex-PM Liz Truss as well as self-acclaimed 'political prisoner' Lucy Connolly.
If I said on my non existent twitter account that the so called cpac event should be fire bombed (for all I care), then I would expect this Connolly character to want me arrested and jailed.
So according to Lucy Connolly, in Reform led Britain we'll be able to call for violence against anyone we want, as long as we add the suffix "for all I care"? Watertight reasoning as always....
It's amazing that Ms Truss has the shameless audacity to stand up in public again. She should be confined to addressing the inhabitants of South Georgia.
They're trying to import American oligarchy and plutocracy to this country through these sinister conferences. These are not forums to explore political and technical subjects in the pursuit of policy, but rather people to network and spread propaganda so they can inject populism and conspiracy theories into UK discourse. The whole thing is subversive to our democracy, and might as well involve a building full of Russians.
Truss is a foreign agent at this point in the way she behaves.

Morning, June! It is a bit jarring, but maybe these challenging conversations are exactly what we need to find some common ground again.

Good morning, everyone. Pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in. It's quite a jarring start to the day hearing these perspectives from CPAC GB. I'm curious, do you think labels like "political prisoner" are changing how we discuss law and politics? How are you all feeling this morning?

I would not attend it even if it were for free.
