We are proud to launch Prosper UK, a movement founded on a simple truth: there is a clear gap in British politics, and millions of voters feel politically homeless. We want to bring those people together, take the conversation beyond Westminster, and build a national movement rooted in listening, enterprise and serious policy.

The UK can only truly prosper with an open, competitive, pro-enterprise economy where hard work is rewarded, people can save for a home, start a business, and pass something on to the next generation.

At a time when some claim populism of the left and right is inevitable, we reject that view. We believe there is an urgent space for practical, pro-business politics that unites rather than divides, that stands up to both the left and the populist right, and that refuses easy answers and empty promises.

As moderate conservatives, we are determined to fill that space, offering stability, responsibility and optimism for the country’s future.
