Mark Littlewood

Common card · No. 230019

Mark James Littlewood is a former director of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), a right-wing free market think tank. Prior to that he was the campaign director of the Pro-Euro Conservative Party and the chief press spokesman for the Liberal Democrats. Having previously been in favour of deeper European integration, Littlewood later adopted a Eurosceptic position and advocated voting Leave in the 2016 referendum on Membership of the European Union. While director of the IEA, Littlewood was recorded offering to foreign donors backroom access to British government ministers and civil servants. His activities resulted in an investigation of the IEA by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, and questions raised in the press about the organisation's dubious charity status. Since 2024, he has been the director of Popular Conservatism, a pressure group of the Conservative Party's right wing.
