Packed room in London for our first Town Hall in the capital. A simple question.

Who feels politically homeless?

Plenty of hands.

Announcing Prosper UK’s new Business Advisory Council.

Too often, economic policy is shaped at a distance from the realities businesses face.

This brings together leaders from across the UK economy to help shape a serious, pro-enterprise agenda - focused on investment, innovation and job creation.

From day one, Prosper UK set out to take the conversation beyond Westminster.

From the Welsh economy to housing, hospitality and AI, we’re focusing on the UK’s critical growth sectors - working with businesses and experts to develop serious, evidence-based policy.

Is the shine finally coming off Nigel Farage? https://t.co/FP9xkCuATa

The central question in British politics should be:

Who has a credible plan to grow the economy and raise living standards.

Growth is not an abstract idea. It is what funds public services, creates good jobs and gives the next generation the chance to get ahead.

Growth should be central to the debate.

Great turnout in Berkhamsted today for Prosper UK.

We spent the morning listening to local residents and having proper conversations about what people want to see change.

Many told us they feel politically homeless, caught between parties that do not reflect their priorities.

There is obvious appetite for a more serious and moderate centre-right politics.

In 2024 the Conservatives lost votes to parties on both their left and their right.

And now millions of centre and centre-right voters say no party represents them.

That tells you something important: there is real demand for sensible, pro-growth politics.

[Prosper UK @Prosper_UK_]

There is a large group of voters who feel no party speaks for them.

They are tired of point-scoring and ideological trench warfare.

They want practical solutions and straight answers about the choices involved.

Keir Starmer has branded Reform UK as 'pro-Putin' at the Munich Security Conference

28% of Britons see Reform UK as pro-Russia, making them the only party the public see as more pro-Russia than anti-Russia

In just two weeks, 17,000 people across the UK have signed up to support Prosper UK.

That level of early momentum tells you something important is happening.

[John Rentoul @JohnRentoul]

This is good for Badenoch, and not bad for Starmer

[Andy Street @andy4wm]

Only 16% of those who have signed up are members of the Conservative Party.

Just 35% voted Conservative at the last General Election.

Many voted Labour or Liberal Democrat, and a significant number didn’t vote at all.

[Prosper UK @Prosper_UK_]

We are reaching well beyond the usual political base, including people who have never voted Conservative or who have not voted Conservative in recent years.

People from different backgrounds and voting histories are coming together around growth, enterprise, jobs and opportunity.

75% of centre and centre-right voters say politicians aren’t talking enough about growth, skills or jobs.

There is a clear gap in British politics: serious, pro-growth priorities are being crowded out.

Prosper UK exists to take the conversation beyond Westminster - listening to people and businesses and developing practical policy ideas to raise living standards.

.@Prosper_UK_ is a week old today. Here’s my ⁦@ConHome⁩ piece responding to some of the criticisms & making the case that those interested in centre right ideas to get the economy growing should engage with us. https://t.co/5vRc17YBle

[Prosper UK @Prosper_UK_]

Business keeps asking the same question: where is the centre right voice on growth?

Seven million centre and centre-right voters understand that jobs, investment and tax revenues come from businesses being able to succeed.

If government works against enterprise, the country falls behind.

Too many businesses say the political debate has drifted away from growth, investment and jobs.

Prosper UK exists to bring the focus back to what actually makes the country better off: a serious, pro-growth economic agenda.

If Conservatives want to see off Reform, it won’t be through rhetoric.

It will be by focusing relentlessly on growth, jobs and the economy.

As @RuthDavidsonPC sets out.
