CONSERVATIVE MP Priti Patel on Sunday (3) tweeted in support of a youth pressure group that has been accused of anti-Islam views.
Patel wrote in support on Turning Point UK, an organisation headed by a Conservative donor named George Farmer who has in the past used Twitter to question Islam. In messages, he has called London mayor Sadiq Khan a “Grade A t***” and a “virtue signalling c***,” reported the Guardian.
Turning Point UK says it aims to challenge the idea that young people are inherently left-leaning. “The Left believes they have a monopoly over young people. It's time us young people fought back,” the organization said in a tweet, adding that Turning Point UK will be launching across UK campuses soon.
Turning Point UK is reportedly a spin-off from a US youth campaign that advocates free markets and small government. It also supports president Donald Trump and campaigns on free speech issues.
Extending support to the organisation, Patel wrote: “A new generation standing up for political & economic freedoms & Conservative values & beliefs. Fantastic! #TPUK @TPointUK.”
Others who have praised the organization include Steve Baker, who wrote, “This could be huge.”
Another MP, Bernard Jenkin, said: “This is the future”
Turning Point UK has no connection with UK addiction charity Turning Point. A spokeswoman for the charity was quoted as saying by the Guardian that it was “reviewing all options in order to protect is name and limit confusion”.
