David Davis and Liam Fox form new Conservative Voice group to promote traditional values Founder Don Porter, a former chairman of the party's voluntary wing, said the group would aim to attract right-wing voters, particularly those who had defected to Ukip in recent years. Dr Fox expressed the frustration of many Tory MPs at having to compromise over policy with their Coalition partners, telling guests at the launch: "This is about us not only improving our field skills in terms of getting ourselves elected, but also setting out our stall to voters. There are limitations to what ministers can say given the constraints of coalition. There are no limitations on what we can say. Asked if the Conservative leadership should follow the lead of the Liberal Democrat in setting out a distinctive set of policies ahead of the election, which is expected in 2015, he said: "Clearly, as we move towards the next election, there will be a need for us to differentiate our brand and set forward a clear Conservative message. I think we have been doing that quite successfully in recent days. I'm not at all surprised that the Lib Dems want to set out what they believe in. We also have very long-standing traditional Conservative views which we intend to set out very clearly. While Tory MPs understood that there were bound to be "difficulties and compromises" resulting from coalition government, "that doesn't mean we change our core message," he added. Mr Davis said that, in a Coalition Government, it was "very healthy that we are able to espouse viewpoints which are distinctive." Mr Porter told the guests: "I see us being able to help the majority party in the coalition to get its core messages across. There is more work to be done to put what we believe in across to the wider electorate. Meanwhile, Tim Loughton, a former Conservative Minister who was sacked by Mr Cameron in last week's reshuffle, has criticised the Prime Minister for "downgrading" the team dealing with children and young people in the process. The children and families portfolio at the Department for Education had been shared between Mr Loughton and the Liberal Democrat Sarah Teather, who also lost her job in the reshuffle. It will now be held by a single minister, Edward Timpson. In message sent on the social media site Twitter, Mr Loughton criticised the move, saying: "V worrying to see that children & young people brief downgraded to just 1 minister at DfE now and Dept net loss of 2 Minister of State ranks." He added: "I'm particularly fearful for the future of the youth agenda. It's vital that we keep children and young people high on the radar. It's a false economy not to do so. Many in Westminster were surprised at Mr Loughton's departure - he had been popular with children's groups and colleagues on all sides of the House. Ann Coffey, Labour chairman of the all-party parliamentary group for missing children, told the London Evening Standard: "Children should not be the victim of this reshuffle. They should be the highest priority for the Government. Any criticism by Tim Loughton, who was a committed and well-respected children's minister across all parties, must be taken seriously. A Downing Street spokesman defended the reshuffle, however, saying: "The Government's commitment to helping children and young people remains as strong as ever."
