* Home Secretary Suella Braverman has been listed as a keynote speaker at a radical right-wing conference tied to Christian Nationalism and the US radical right.
* The Conservative Nationalism Conference (NatCon), which is due to take place in London on 13-15 May, is an initiative designed to support the Conservative Nationalism movement. The group’s Statement of Principles includes demands for nations to be governed on the basis of *“humility and gratitude before God and fear of his judgment”* while also backing immigration moratoriums and opposing what it describes as the “grave threat” of *“ever more radical forms of sexual license and experimentation as an alternative to the responsibilities of family and congregational life”*.
* Speakers at previous events have included the Hungarian Prime Minister, and autocrat, Viktor Orban, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
* Braverman will join a growing list of Conservative politicians due to speak at the event. Jacob Rees-Mogg MP has been named as a keynote speaker alongside Michael Gove MP, while other speakers include Miriam Cates MP, Danny Kruger MP, Lord David Frost and John Hayes MP, chair of the Common Sense Group of MPs, whose US links have previously been reported on by Byline Times.
* The final keynote speaker is Keven Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, one of the key institutions of the US radical right.
* The Heritage Foundation is a major american think-tank created by Billionaire Joseph Coors. It has described climate change as a myth, opposed tobacco control measures, and advocated reducing taxes on high income earners.
* Speakers at NatCon 2023 also include Calvin Robinson, presenter of GB News’ Common Sense Crusade show, and Toby Young, founder of the Free Speech Union (FSU) and the Daily Sceptic which has been criticised for its publication of anti-vax and climate change denial content. Another speaker is James Orr, who is also chair of NatCon UK, and UK chair of the Edmund Burke Foundation (EBF).
* While the sponsors list for London 2023 has yet to be released, the main sponsors of previous events have included Republican Party mega donor Peter Thiel, owner of surveillance company Palantir.
* Cathy and Alex Cranberg have also provided at least $350,000 in sponsorship to NatCon. Alex Cranberg is a Republican Party donor whose wealth comes from oil and gas production, and has close links to the Koch Network. In 2017 he hosted a Koch-sponsored gathering of donors in Colorado Springs.
* The Common Sense Society (CSS) donated at least $250,000 to NatCon Miami and $50,000 to an Orlando event, and was a named sponsor to conferences in Brussels and London in 2019.
* Founded in 2009 in Central Europe, The Common Sense Society (CSS) describes itself as a *“celebration of the political, intellectual, and cultural inheritance which constitute our shared civilization”* seeking to cultivate *“a future that draws on the best of the past”*.
Operating as an international network, it aims to identify and train leaders in the *“nature of liberty”* on subjects such as *“cultural inheritance and personal responsibility”*
“Borderline fascist attends event run by Christian Fascists” also works as a headline
Interestingly, National Conservatism would be the more honest name of National Socialism.
Pretty clear whose bed this reactionary government wants to lie in, and whose fascist footsteps they are keen to follow.
This should be front page news really.

The Tories have finally completed their metamorphosis into US Republicans. Buckle up everybody, right wing politics in this country is about to get a lot more damaging than it already is.
The Tories have nothing left except trying to pull the same culture war bullshit that has wreaked so much chaos in the US.
Braverman is at the forefront of this, because she’s too fucking stupid to understand the full extent of what she’s doing.
Why is this a surprise, they’ve been doing this for years.
They’re just on red alert because it’s all coming crashing down. Suspect this is also a way to shovel some cash their way alongside the GBNews gigs.
Are they a racist group? That’ll go down hilariously
Openly supporting the Nat C’s?
Can’t say I’m surprised.
I’m all for freedom of expression but I’m starting to get tired of the religious in general.
When you compare 1930’s Germany to 2023 Britain, the only thing that the Conservatives aren’t copying is their economic policies.
Ironically, the Tories would probably jump 30 points above Labour if they also started heavily increasing state investment, pushing through tonnes of public works projects and pursuing a policy of autarky (self-sufficiency) to reduce reliance on global trade.
This should be a easy goal, currently tories are right wing chancers and rip-off artists whilst Republicans are borderline Christian neo-nazis. But I expect Braverman to Braverman
I wish we had a Jordan Klepper equivalent head down there and prank this lot.
Wait hang on our Home Secretary is a keynote speaker at a genuinely fascist convention?
What the fuck is happening
Nat C.
Oh god, the world is a farce. Our reality is some satirical dystopian novel.
Somewhere out there, there is some shut-in hermit of a writer unaware the masterpiece he is working on is becoming real with every sentence he writes.
It is a sign of modern times when the Nazi movement allows a woman to address them…
What’s most depressing about this is that it is no surprise.
“But yeah, still on the fence over voting Labour – just as bad the Eton lot.”
Judge a person by the company they keep. As if we were not aware of Braverman’s heavy right wing leanings already, this is just another example of how she is happy to court the UKIP voters who support the Tory party now that Brexit has gone through. You look at the likes of May and Patel before her and think that it could not get worse, yet it has somehow, with each Home Secretary worse than the last. It is like you can only get the job these days if you exhibit extreme hostility towards immigrants and exhibit only strong right wing policies.
Sigh. My fellow citizens who are Republicans are pretty clueless to the crap they pull. Lots and lots of crap that just irritates the hell out of me and some of the stuff they believe is mind boggling. Still, there are things that people on the left think and do that also is equally crazy and stupid. I just wish regular people could see through the crappy facade and not be so tribal. People are too easily fooled.
Can this idiot please just be locked up now? Along with Rees Mogg? Honestly. I really really painfully hope that some really dodgy shit (more than we already know) comes out about her and she goes to prison. Like she’s got some dodgy stuff (you know what I mean) on her pc or something. Wishful thinking, I know.
First she sets up camps for undesirables and now she has her own little Nuremberg rally.
Braverman is a fascist, is anyone surprised by this?
Her views are disgusting. She’s trying to bring in the worse of American conservativism to our shores, a sure loser if Britain wakes up. What’s coming out of America right now, its just stupid and idiotic.
tons of money around for anyone prepared to preach far right doctrine.
the kochs, the mercer family, the DeVos family, the Crow family…..alll pour millions into untraceable pools of cash, to fund those who advance their cause. From twitter loudmouths, through Nigel Farage, to Members of Parliament and now it seems, members of the cabinet.
they’re not doing out of conviction, they are doing it because there is money, and access to strong networks, for career advancement.
Look at 30p Lee Anderson. Definition of a gobshite, no mark, who traditional Tories wouldnt piss on, were he on fire. Long term Labour Party member and one time Labour Councillor, until 2018 where he switches to the Tories. becomes big supporter of Brexit, and more recently, a vocal critic of working class poor people.
After Years of achieving nothing, suddenly he finds himself Deputy Chairman of Tory Party, and receiver of £15000 from “The Carlton Club” – a private members gentlemens club, popular with Torys. Where does the Carlton Club find the money to donate ? From People like Henning Conle, property Billionaire, fascism enjoyer, and funder of far right german party, AfD.
over the last 20 years, maybe 30, the internet has connected the world, and it turns out, the vast majority of us see beyond nations, flags, skin colour, sexuality and are becoming united in values of general equality, and the human sense of fair play, each one of us is born with.
the billionaire class saw this threat to their dominance, a threat to their ability to call the shots across the planet. a global population broadly united by human decency, ultimately means the end of billionaires.
they shit themselves and are working hard to redress the balance.
Hence you have people like Farage, who lived a life of wealth and privilege, preaching hate to working class oiks, for more billionaire money.
Place your bets as to where the wall will be built?.
1. Scotland
2. Wales
3. The entire mainland UK
Fascist to address other Fascists.
Much simpler headline.
So is the Church of England going to be dissolved like Cromwell did and replaced by a Money Grab Machine of Evangelical Right Wing Christians who take women’s right and minority rights away? How about the monarchy that would have to be abolished so only the Elite Rich run the country like slave state where 97% get to work in food camps while 3% live the good life and abolishment of the NHS, and all schools can’t have thinking. Trump gonna be your leader too?
I’m not surprised.
She’ll be finding herself an agent, savy tax avoidance specialist and deciding upon her fees for speaking engagements for when she’s left government or politics entirely. Just like Blair, Boris and Truss.
Nice work for those who can get it.
Possibly indicating the Conservatives know the game is up and they’ll be out in 2 years. Can’t imagine anyone seriously trying to win a UK election would attend this.
Yeh, the Byline Times is the paper to read. They are very good on this sinister network of far-right monsters dragging us down, the Tories, the GOP, Orban, Putin’s Oligarchs, all connected.
How does she manage to make ‘National Socialism’ sound less dangerous? What year is this? 1933?
High ranking Conservative to attend Conservative event. Nothing remotely concerning or radical about it. Don’t understand why this would be of any interest to people that aren’t planning on attending.

The NatCons [cast of characters](https://nationalconservatism.org/natcon-uk-2023) is hilarious. Even Crafty will be there.
