Culture wars' Hard-right group accused on Parthenon marbles claim

The Guardian

July 12, 2025

The former prime minister Liz Truss and a rightwing lobby group have been accused of stoking culture wars after putting their names to a letter claiming they will take legal action over alleged "covert" plans to return the Parthenon marbles to Greece.

- Jamie Grierson David Batty

The letter, addressed to Keir Starmer, the culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, and trustees of the British Museum, was organised by a right-wing campaign group called Great British Pac, led by Tory activist Claire Bullivant and the former Reform deputy co-leader Ben Habib.

Great British Pac takes its inspiration from political action committees in the US, which use donations to fund campaigns for or against candidates and policies.
