Miriam Cates , 41 , became the first Tory MP in South Yorkshire since 1992 .
She overturned Labour ’s majority in the seat at the 2019 general election.
In October 2023 , she delivered the opening address at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference.
Gone were the particular, local, almost bland appeals she had made to her constituents as a new MP in 2019 .
Miriam Cates is one of several turbulent micro-factions in the Tory parliamentary party.
The New Conservatives was founded by Cates and Danny Kruger to return the party to the pledges of the 2019 manifesto.
The main concern of its 25 members is immigration, but the Tories have presided over a surge in non-EU migration since 2019 .
If the polls are correct, Cates won’t have a job by the end of the year .
She has not given up hope of winning her seat, “but I’d be stupid not to think beyond that moment” Cates has thought about returning to teaching, but doesn't know whether anyone would employ her.
Her politics has put her on the far side of what many British educational institutions consider appropriate.
