One of the main speakers at a conference attended by two cabinet ministers and a series of other Tory MPs has blamed “globalists” for the world’s political problems, repeatedly using a term associated with the far right and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, a US thinktank, mentioned the idea, which has been condemned by Jewish groups as an antisemitic trope, more than a dozen times in his address to the National Conservatism (NatCon) event in London.
