Right-wing Tory MPs Release Manifesto Demanding Tax Cuts, Immigration Controls, and Exit from European Court of Human Rights

New Conservatives caucus pushes for change ahead of the election

A group of right-wing Tory MPs known as the New Conservatives caucus has revealed their five demands for Chancellor Rishi Sunak to adopt in preparation for the upcoming election. Their manifesto focuses on cutting taxes, slashing immigration, and exiting the European Court of Human Rights.

Public concern over migration fuels demand for change

Tory MP Tom Hunt argued that the increasing levels of migration in the country are causing public unease, stating that "it is not xenophobic to – when you walk into your town centre – not want to feel like you're living in a foreign country."

Tory bosses hesitant to discipline potential rebels

Former party chairman Jake Berry pledged to vote against any further tax hikes and expressed confidence that Tory leaders would be reluctant to expel dissenting MPs due to the potential risk of losing their majority.

Notable figures make their voices heard

Prominent figures, including former Cabinet Ministers Dame Priti Patel, Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, and Sir John Redwood, took the opportunity to deliver speeches at the event. Their presence added weight to the group's agenda.

Group criticizes government's failure to deliver on promises

Tory MP and co-founder of the New Conservatives caucus, Miriam Cates, voiced her disappointment with the government's handling of their 80-seat majority gained in 2019. Citing an inability to fully separate from European and Blairite laws, rising taxes, increasing immigration levels, and unsatisfactory education outcomes, Cates highlighted the frustration felt by many citizens, which is reflected in the polls.
