Seems they are very cagey about who funds their activities.
One backbench Tory MP claimed on Thursday night: “I suspect she’ll be gone within weeks. It’s a certainty”.
The MP added: “The libertarian freakshows from Tufton street need to accept that their entryism has failed. It’s going to be nipped in the bud. From now on their pamphlets will go back to gathering dust.”
Talk of a ‘Tufton Street nexus’ is conspiratorial nonsense.
Sadly, probably not. These skeezeballs have an "in" with every politician, via the networks of privilege they're all part of. They'll have started making representations to Sunak as soon as it became clear that he was going to be the next PM.I'm not sure which thank tanks can and do influence Sunak - but it looks like the 55 Tufton Street lot tied their flag to the good ship Truss and their influence will now be waning.
Wishful thinking I fear. See Sunak's appointments to the new cabinet.I'm not sure which thank tanks can and do influence Sunak - but it looks like the 55 Tufton Street lot tied their flag to the good ship Truss and their influence will now be waning.
Turns out that LGB Alliance have office space at 55 Tufton after a letter from Ofcom was leaked. They've been playing it down today as 'handy', 'flexible', 'just a few minutes walk from Parliament'.
Its not openly rentable space and everybody else at the address are of course right-wing lobby groups and think tanks - Taxpayers Alliance, Leave Means Leave, Global Warming Policy Foundation...
