The New Conservatives faction announced it will start directly fundraising to protect its MPs in marginal seats across the North and Midlands.<\/p>\n
It also warned the Prime Minister it will speak out about the issues it fears the party is not listening to voters on, such as migration and trans rights.<\/p>\n
Founders Miriam Cates and Danny Kruger issued a joint statement, saying support for the new voters brought in under Boris Johnson has \u201cdwindled\u201d following this week\u2019s Cabinet reshuffle.<\/p>\n
The MPs said: \u201cWe are concerned that the reshuffle indicates a major change in the policy direction of the Government.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Conservative Party now looks like it is \u00addeliberately walking away from the coalition of \u00advoters who brought us into power with a large majority in 2019.<\/p>\n

The public voted, and we promised, to change this.\u201d<\/p>\n Ms Cates and Mr Kruger said the group had \u201cheld on to the hope\u201d that the Government still believed in the realignment of voters and would work to reorient foreign policy, reduce migration and \u201crestore common sense\u201d in our schools and universities.<\/p>\n They added: \u201cThat hope \u2013 the project of the realignment \u2013 has now dwindled. In political terms, it appears the leadership has decided to abandon the voters who switched to us last time, sacrificing the seats we won from Labour in 2019 in the hope of shoring up support elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr Sunak brutally sacked Home Secretary Suella Braverman and brought David Cameron back into frontline politics in a reshuffle that stunned Westminster this week.<\/p>\n The New Conservatives, made up of around 20 MPs in traditionally old Labour areas, include Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson. They met on Monday evening to share their fury at the developments. They will meet again today once the Supreme Court judgment has been given on the Government\u2019s Rwanda deportation plan.<\/p>\n New Foreign Secretary Mr Cameron \u00adcommitted the Government to reducing legal migration to under 100,000, but this year the figure hit a record high of more than 600,000.<\/p>\n Downing Street confirmed yesterday that the former PM\u2019s plan to bring down migration to the tens of thousands is not government policy.<\/p>\n Ms Cates and Mr Kruger insisted they \u201cremain committed\u201d to working for a Tory election victory. But they warned tackling issues such as record net migration must be a key part of the party\u2019s approach. They added: \u201cWe will continue to make the case for the realignment, developing policy proposals, like the recent New Conservative papers on migration, skills and tax, which we will offer to the party as our contribution to the \u00admanifesto process.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/139\/590x\/secondary\/5066604.jpg?r=1700002648155\")
