Rightwing US senator to give virtual speech at conservative UK conference

JD Vance, accused of pushing white-supremacist ‘replacement’ theory, to appear alongside senior Tories at NatCon

JD Vance will virtually appear at a conservative conference in the UK this week, as the freshman Republican senator of Ohio seeks to take his rightwing message to an international audience.

Vance will speak at the National Conservatism Conference, usually shortened to NatCon, which will begin on Monday in London. Other featured speakers include senior Tories Suella Braverman, Michael Gove, Jacob Rees-Mogg and David Frost.
