Charlie Kirk’s status as a martyr was sealed at his packed memorial on Sunday evening, when an estimated 100,000 people showed up to honour him. Among the crowd was Joseph Moulton, a young right-wing activist from York. He was not far behind President Trump and members of his administration.
Moulton is a founding member of Flag Force UK, one of the original groups that inspired the Raise the Colours movement. When Kirk was assassinated, Moulton had just landed in Phoenix, Arizona, at the beginning of a trip to recruit powerful allies that could spread the movement even further. He had meetings arranged with the Turning Point team and was pushing for a podcast appearance with Kirk himself. ‘Charlie would have been a massive fan of Raise the Colours,’ says Jack Ross, CEO of Turning Point UK
