CPAC GB, the British version of the influential US-founded Conservative Political Action Conference, has so far failed to sell out its 3,000 tickets despite – or perhaps because of – having Liz Truss as chair of its organising committee.
The event is being staged at a hotel near the O2 Arena in London’s Greenwich on July 16-18, with prices ranging from £100 general admission up to a £10,000 golden ticket package that gives the bearer the chance to mingle with Truss and other speakers at the “CPAC Great Britain Star Lounge”.
But who exactly will those others be? While the US version regularly plays host to big-name bigots like Donald Trump, JD Vance and Steve Bannon, the UK guest list so far boasts such attractions as Gorton & Denton loser Matt Goodwin, self-confessed racist and former prisoner Lucy Connolly, free speech boiled egg lookalike Toby Young and Brexiteer ex-MP Jacob Rees-Mogg. Surely worth ten grand of anyone’s money!
