Jack Rankin MP (Education PP, MP for Windsor (Invited))
Cllr Festus Akinbusoye (Westminster City Council, Westminster City Councillor and Former Police and Crime Commissioner (Invited))
Join us at the Conservative Party Conference to take a stand for liberty. Whether it’s your right to speak freely, enjoy a cigarette or just have a quiet pint at your local, the UK's long-established civil liberties are under threat. With the Government doubling down on its nanny-state agenda and introducing digital IDs via the back door, the fightback couldn’t be more urgent. After all, it was the titanic Conservative Prime Minister George Canning who became the first British politician to describe themselves as a “liberal.” It's time to reclaim that radical tradition. Join us for a drink at this year’s Rally For Liberty to hear leading Conservative MPs make the case for freedom.
