I just recoiled at his interpretation of globalists as some sort of coherent structured group of people who get together to both remove and promote certain people to advance their own agenda.
Numerous news outlets have had opinion pieces saying among other things that within the Tory party is a neoliberal faction (again per above often neoliberal & globalist are used interchangeably to refer to the same viewpoint). (The Guardian one I quoted above.)
Open democracy
”The story of the Free Enterprise Group (FEG) – the neo-Thatcherite Tory faction founded by Liz Truss in 2011 and closely associated with Tufton Street think tanks such as the Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) – makes for satisfying schadenfreude. A decade after a gaggle of newly elected Tory MPs, among them Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng, co-authored ‘Britannia Unchained’, which outlined the FEG’s vision for the country, the group’s internal politicking saw them slowly ascend to the head of the table.
Twelve long-time supporters of the FEG would occupy cabinet positions in Truss’s government, with Kwarteng, Therese Coffey and Nadhim Zahawi rewarded with some of the choice senior roles. The head of IEA’s public policy openly and gleefully boasted about dictating the political course. At last, it was time for them to realise the hyper-neoliberal Britain they’d dreamed about for so long, one which could boast of the bare minimum in taxation, regulation and public spending.”

Another Guardian piece:
”Truss’s politics have been shaped by organisations that call themselves thinktanks, but would be better described as lobbyists who refuse to reveal who funds them. Now she has brought them into the heart of government. Her senior special adviser, Ruth Porter, was communications director at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), an extreme neoliberal lobby group. An investigation by the democracy campaign Transparify listed the IEA as “highly opaque” about its funding sources. We know from a combination of leaks and US filings that it has a history of taking money from tobacco companies and since 1967 from the oil company BP, and has also received large disbursements from foundations funded by US billionaires, some of which have been among the major sponsors of climate science denial. When she worked at the IEA, Porter called for reducing housing benefit and child benefit, charging patients to use the NHS, cutting overseas aid and scrapping green funds.”

“Insiders were well aware the support package would drive free-marketeers to despair, including those inside the right-wing think-tanks that have long provided the intellectual ballast for Ms Truss’s ideology. But they insist the reality of politics meant they had no choice.“The neoliberal free-market solution of letting prices rip and stepping in with cash to support the poorest just wasn’t going to work,” a source involved in putting the package together told i. “But the key thing is only to do it once.””

”Liz Truss cannot be in any way severed from the ideology she represents,’ political commentator Emma Burnell tells Metro.co.uk. ‘She’s become the absolute pet for free market think tanks such as the Institute of Economic Affairs and the Adam Smith Institute, and their backing gave her some clout.’”
“So called “Trussonomics” which is based on an explicitly right-wing libertarian agenda of a smaller state and reduced taxation, is a form of neoliberalism,’ Associate Professor Steven McCabe, political economist at Birmingham City University explains. Dynamic enterprise is explicitly encouraged by the prospect of lower taxes so that capital is attracted to the UK. Equally crucial is entrepreneurs are allowed to work with fewer regulations and vastly reduced tax, so additional wealth created will ‘trickle down’ to those on lower incomes.’“
However, what got her ousted was going too far and not funding the cuts
“However, when Truss’s original chancellor – close political ally and friend Kwasi Kwarteng – announced these measures on 23 September, they went far further than initially thought.”
”The economic turmoil was due to Truss and Kwarteng’s plan announcing £45 billion of tax cuts, but not saying how these tax cuts were going to be funded.
‘Truss and Kwarteng left a massive gap between what the government was promising to spend, and what the government was promising to raise,’ Burnell explains. ‘It meant they were going to be borrowing a great deal of money.”
