Exclusive: Reform UK will be ‘steering well clear’ of CPAC event in July, says a source, as will senior Tories
Nigel Farage will snub a major conference of US conservatives that is being brought to the UK by Liz Truss.
The short-lived former prime minister, who was accused of crashing the economy, was chosen by the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to lead a version of the event in the UK in July.
She announced this on stage in Texas on Monday while next to Matt Schlapp, commentator and chair of the event, which in the US has hosted major figures including Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.
However, mainstream conservative figures in the UK seem wary to be associated with the Truss-led event.
