- Nigel Farage will headline Liz Truss's UK Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference.
- This comes after his party suggested he would avoid the event.
- The conference aims to promote conservative values and is modelled on the US CPAC gathering.
Nigel Farage is set to be a prominent speaker at Liz Truss's upcoming UK version of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference next month. This appearance marks a significant turn, as his party, Reform UK, had previously indicated that Farage would be distancing himself from the event.
The conference, which models itself on the influential American conservative summit, aims to rally support for conservative principles under the banner of "saving Britain, saving the west." Farage's decision to headline the event, alongside other hard-right speakers, underscores a push to consolidate and amplify conservative voices within the UK political sphere.
Despite earlier suggestions of his non-involvement, Farage's participation signals his continued engagement in conservative political movements. The event, hosted by former Prime Minister Liz Truss, is expected to draw attention to the more traditional and right-wing factions within the broader conservative movement.
