John Major is right: successive governments have failed young people. Too many problems have been pushed onto them: unaffordable housing, weak growth, student debt, climate change, and a pensions system that politicians are too nervous to discuss honestly. We won’t pretend there are easy answers. But we are working with experts on serious, long-term policies to give young people a better chance in life than they have today.

The centre of UK politics isn't the wets and remainers. The centre is actually pro-business, aspirational, and fed up with populism. And not a single party is seriously talking to them. samf.substack.com/p/wheres-the-c…

People are feeling the squeeze from every angle, prices, taxes, mortgages. Even when wages rise, it doesn’t feel like it. We need proper, sustained economic growth. Nothing else will fix it.

Alongside @AndrewMitchMP and @Simon_FourOaks, we worked hard to bring Harvey Norman’s UK HQ and a new store to Sutton Coldfield. Dare I say, the John Lewis of Sutton! We said we would do it and we did. It is so wonderful to see these projects come to fruition.

Elections aren’t decided by who shouts the loudest. It’s decided by who looks credible, serious, and capable of actually governing. Simplistic answers and divisive rhetoric might win attention, but they don’t win trust. That’s why we’ve been clear: Britain needs pragmatic, pro-growth politics, not populist noise.

CHAMPIONS!!! Congratulations to all involved, on a superb season and promotion for the Sky Blues, they’re finally back where they belong! After helping to secure the Sky Blues’ return home as Mayor, I know just how much this means to the club, the fans and the city.

Across two roundtables, financial services and immigration, the same issue kept coming up. The UK is losing its edge in attracting global talent. That raises a question. What kind of country do we want to be outward-looking & competitive? Or closed and falling behind? Growth depends on the answer.

We all say we want growth. But you don’t get it by raising costs on the very businesses expected to deliver it. Growth comes from enterprise, investment and hard work, backed by a system that encourages them, not one that holds them back. conservativehome.com/2026/04/15/and…

Financial services should be a major driver of UK growth. But to do that, we have to be the most attractive place for the world’s best talent. Right now, tax and regulation are making that harder than it should be. And that is starting to show. Getting this right is central to delivering growth.

A party leader and sitting MP pushing an asset he’s heavily invested in. It’s sleazy politics - using a public platform to back your own bets. We’re doing the hard yards: building growth, jobs and investment. Sign up today: ProsperUK.com

Britain needs more plasma donations, for life-saving treatments and vital research. One of just three donation centres in the country is here in Birmingham. If you’re a healthy adult, please consider signing up here: blood.co.uk/plasma/where-t… It couldn’t be easier!

At the end of Town Hall in Birmingham, someone came up and said: “You’ve inspired me - I want to stand.” He’s now a candidate in Solihull. This is how momentum builds - not online, but in real conversations, happening across the country.

Back in 2017 we said we’d get this done. Plenty doubted it. But once the funding was secured in 2021, it was never in doubt. Good to see it finally delivered, thanks to everyone who played a part to bring trains back to the Camp Hill line after more than 80 years.

There is a limit to how long voters will tolerate immature politics and constant posturing. The issues facing the UK are real and difficult. They demand honesty, trade-offs, and serious thinking, not slogans and stunts. If you think so too sign up prosperuk.com

Read our first report, from what we have heard directly from businesses across Wales. Growth is there to be unlocked. But it is being held back by practical barriers: planning delays, skills gaps, limited access to capital, and slow public sector processes. If we want a serious pro-growth agenda, it has to start here. prosperuk.com/unlocking-grow…

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. prosperuk.com/prosper-uk-lau…

We’re bringing some of the UK’s most experienced business leaders directly into policymaking. Our new Business Advisory Council will ensure policy is shaped by those who actually drive growth - not developed at a distance from it. prosperuk.com/prosper-uk-lau…

“Where do you see Prosper UK in 5 years time?” Politics is changing too fast to have a perfect blueprint. What matters is being on the field - building a serious, modern centre-right movement and shaping the debate now. Sign up today: ProsperUK.com

.@Prosper_UK_ was set up to do politics differently - listening to the real economy, not chasing headlines. Across housing, hospitality and the impact of AI, the message is consistent: businesses want to grow, but the conditions aren’t right. prosperuk.com/andy-street-do…

In politics we need to listen more and talk a little less. That’s why we’ve been out meeting businesses and communities - starting in Cardiff, Birmingham, London and Edinburgh next. Because if Britain is going to succeed, every part of the UK has to succeed. This is about building something real, from the ground up.
