HARD-RIGHT TURN
TORY leader Kemi Badenoch tried to grab some US far-right energy last week by publicly meeting with Turning Point UK (TPUK) to mourn assassinated US activist Charlie Kirk, a close ally of Donald Trump.
TPUK is the British wing of Kirk’s group, Turning Point USA, which claims to be the “largest Conservative student movement” in the US with groups at more than 3,500 universities and high schools. TPUK’s efforts to build a similar movement among university students over here failed miserably, and instead it now arranges foul-mouthed street protests with groups of “patriots”.
