Andy Street Launches Prosper UK: A New Home for Moderate Conservatives

0:00On March 17th, former West Midlands mayor Andy Street is launching a new group called Prosper UK to attract moderate-centre-right voters who feel, politically homeless. He served seven years as a conservative before losing to Labour's Richard Parker in 2024. Now he's teaming up with figures like Ruth Davidson to pull people back to her mainstream conservatism. This comes amid growing frustration with the Labour government and the surge of reform UK on the right. Street argues the moderate-centre-right voice has faded, leaving millions without a clear option. Research shows a big pool of voters open to practical, unifying ideas. Street has sharp words for reform, calling it divisive, and focused on easy promises rather than tough solutions. He points the places like Wushershire, where they fall in short on council tax and services. In contrast, he praises traditional conservatism for bringing people together, especially in diverse spots like Birmingham. With local elections set for May, all 101 seats on Birmingham's Labour-led City Council

1:04are up for grabs. Conservatives, the main opposition, hope to take control despite reform's challenge. Street remains a committatory and plans to campaign hard for them across the West Midlands. He recently visited Birmingham with Amber Rudd to meet supporters and business leaders in construction and hospitality. For the UK to succeed, places like this need to thrive through sensible-centre-right policies that actually deliver.
