Barely seven months after we were founded, the Great British PAC is celebrating a string of wins and rolling out a new wave of high-profile campaigns. We are, in our own words, reshaping the landscape of British politics.
Writing to supporters, our CEO Claire Bullivant set out the mood plainly: “Patriots are uniting. Communities are rising. And it is inspiring to witness. While others hold placards and pontificate, the Great British PAC is in the trenches… law by law, case by case, county by county.”
Challenging the Intelligence Services’ Race Ban
Among our boldest recent steps is a planned legal action against MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. The three intelligence agencies opened taxpayer-funded internship schemes for 2026 that shut out white British students from even applying.
Leading the challenge is our Young People’s Director, Sophie Corcoran, who is working alongside barrister James Tumbridge and a claimant from Cambridge University. We contend that the policy is discriminatory and unlawful under the Equality Act 2010.
“I have watched brilliant friends denied jobs simply because they were white,” Corcoran said. “Others, despite top marks, have been turned away from universities in favour of candidates who did not even meet the minimum requirements. How can it be just that a gifted young person is excluded because of the colour of their skin?”
“This is not diversity. This is apartheid in a suit and tie,” Bullivant added. “With public support, this case will not only overturn injustice but set a precedent across the public sector.”
To help the claimant bring the case forward, we have opened an appeal to raise £20,000.
Fighting the Chagos Islands Deal
We have also taken a leading role in resisting the Government’s plan to hand the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius. A Judicial Review on the matter is expected once the High Court reopens in October.
In the meantime, we coordinated a letter to former US President Donald Trump — signed by more than 40 MPs, peers and security experts — warning that the transfer could undermine the Diego Garcia base, a cornerstone of US and UK defence in the Indian Ocean.
Backed by Sir Iain Duncan Smith and Dr Nile Gardiner, a former aide to Margaret Thatcher, the letter argues that placing the territory under Mauritius would create legal ambiguity over US nuclear operations and open the door to challenges from China, Russia and international bodies.
Holding Organisations to Account
Our grassroots “email warriors” chalked up another win, securing a formal apology from the British Wheelchair Basketball team. The team had turned their backs during Israel’s national anthem ahead of a match in Cologne last month, prompting hundreds of our supporters to write in protest.
Bullivant cheered the result: “People power works. Bravo, email warriors!”
Our wider efforts include private prosecutions against activists, a campaign to hold the British Museum to account over the Elgin Marbles, and work with MPs pushing back on Labour’s proposed Islamophobia definition.
Expanding Influence
The PAC now counts more than 50 county and regional directors, a cross-party advisory board, and a legal team that includes two King’s Counsel. With a growing pipeline of cases and campaigns, we maintain that we are delivering results where others only talk.
“While other groups scream into the void, we build cases. We fund actions. We win battles,” Bullivant said. “The mountains are moving — and we are the avalanche.”
We are urging more people to join and fund our campaigns through the website. As Bullivant concluded: “The United Kingdom will not be saved by the complacent; it will be saved by the courageous.”
