Conservative politicians Sir Andy Street and Baroness Ruth Davidson are launching a new movement that will attempt to attract millions of "politically homeless" voters to the Tory party. The former West Midlands mayor and former Scottish Conservative leader will unveil the initiative on Monday in a bid to win back moderate voters who they say snubbed the party at the last general election. It will seek to engage those voters and work with them to develop policies they want the Conservative Party to adopt. Speaking on the BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg, Sir Andy and Baroness Davidson said they had faith in Kemi Badenoch's leadership of the Conservatives and wanted her to be prime minister. But they said their research suggested that seven million people who describe themselves as centrist, or centre-right, felt no party currently represented them. They feel there is political room for a movement that focuses on issues such as tax, housing, infrastructure and business investment.
