Media career and political campaigning
editBullivant lives between Los Angeles and the United Kingdom, and writes for a number of local newspapers in the West Midlands, owned by her family.[1][2] In 2020, she founded The Conservative Post (later known as the Conservative and Reformer Post), a right-wing media platform.[3][4][5]
In 2022, alongside Baron Greenhalgh, she co-founded the Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO).[6][7] In 2023, she told LBC that partygate was a 'witch-hunt' from the left.[8] In July 2024, she expressed support for Suella Braverman to run as leader of the Conservative Party.[9] In May 2026, she wrote to Kemi Badenoch expressing concern over the suspension of Worcestershire CC Conservative group leader Cllr. Adam Kent. He had been suspended after joining a four-party coalition which included the Greens. The Conservative Party chairman, Kevin Hollinrake, accused Kent of doing a deal with the Greens after he said he would not.[5]
Great British PAC
editAccording to Hope not Hate (HnH), in September 2024, Bullivant established the Great British PAC.[10] HnH allege that it is modelled after American political action committees, and say the cross-party campaign group was created to launch 'unite the right'.[10] The organisation is chaired by Ben Habib, and has a number of current and former MPs, as well as two Conservative peers.[10][11] It has initiated a number of legal campaigns, including securing a judicial review and interim injunctions regarding the proposed transfer of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.[12]
