A “sinister” left-wing organisation known as the Conscious Advertising Network (CAN), a coalition of greater than 180 advertisers, companies, tech suppliers and civil society teams, is being blamed for attempting to silence conservative voices on the best of politics.

Conservative MPs additionally consider that CAN is a leftwing try to silence debate on topical controversial points round local weather change, the migrant disaster and alleged race points amongst different areas.

CAN boasts of its hyperlinks with Google and Pinterest in utilizing its promoting income streams for corporations to shut down debate on local weather change and Net Zero.

“For the primary time, misinformation that undermines the existence of local weather change is now not monetised by means of promoting.”

On migration issues, it noted: “CAN is proud to have constructed the case for moral promoting on the United Nations, with whom we collaborated for its #Standup4HumanRights marketing campaign, highlighting the Seven Key Elements to construct narratives on migration and migrants.”

But Ms Morris mentioned: “I do not consider that the retweets in question are anti-Semitic. I have been critical of some of the actions of the state of Israel, but that does not mean that I am anti-Semitic – on the contrary, I am an opponent of all forms of racism including anti-Jewish racism.”

Mansfield Conservative MP Ben Bradley MP warned that the checking account closures of individuals like Nigel Farage are “just the start” of a wider try to finish free speech.

He mentioned: “We’ve seen in recent days that the banking sector has been overrun by cancel culture.

“It’s deeply worrying that a similar takeover is happening in advertising and that so many household names are being duped by a so-called ‘conscious advertising network’ that we now find out is being run by a bunch of far-left, politically motivated activists at Stop Funding Hate.”

Adding his concerns to CAN’s relationship with SFH, he said: “The Campaign Against Antisemitism has said how ‘extreme’ these people (SFH) are so I hope these businesses and agencies cut their links immediately.”

Hastings MP Sally-Ann Hart mentioned: “The left love to silence those they disagree with, whether it is banks shutting accounts, or brands choosing to boycott TV channels.

“If these businesses and ad agencies want to engage in ‘conscious advertising’, they’d better find another bunch of people to run their marketing strategies and stop outsourcing them to a campaign led by Stop Funding Hate.”

On CAN’s association with SFH, she added: “The Campaign Against Antisemitism has said that Stop Funding Hate has an ‘extreme far-left worldview’ so to see the reach they’re having amongst well-known businesses is really sinister.”

Harriet Kingaby, the founding father of CAN, denied the accusations levelled by Conservative MPs and likewise distanced the community from the accusations of antisemitism in opposition to SFH.

In a press release to Express.co.uk, she mentioned: “CAN is a non-partisan, non-political network of 180 plus advertisers, agencies and civil society groups including the Anti Semitism Policy Trust, End Violence Against Women Coalition, the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights as well as Stop Funding Hate.
