Prosper UK

Prosper UK is a British Conservative Party political movement launched in January 2026. The organisation was founded by Ruth Davidson, the former leader of the Scottish Conservatives, alongside Andy Street, the former Mayor of the West Midlands, David Gauke, a former Justice Secretary, and Amber Rudd, a former Home Secretary. The aim of the movement is to appeal to what the founders described as "politically homeless" voters, and to bring the Conservative Party back to the centre-right.[1][2]
