The Prime Minister will today [Tuesday 30
September] vow to renew Britain as the country stands at a fork
in the road between renewal and decline, between decency and
division.
Addressing the Party's annual conference, the Prime Minister will
set out the path of renewal - improving living standards and
putting money in the pockets of working people.
The Prime Minister is expected to say:
“No matter how many people tell me it can't be done, I believe
Britain can come together. We can pursue a shared destination. We
can unite around a common good. That's my ambition, the purpose
of this Government. End decline, reform our public services, grow
our economy from the grassroots.”
The Prime Minister is expected to say:
“We can all see our country faces a choice, a defining choice.
Britain stands at a fork in the road. We can choose decency. Or
we can choose division. Renewal or decline. A country - proud of
its values, in control of its future or one that succumbs,
against the grain of our history, to the politics of grievance.
“It is a test. A fight for the soul of our country, every bit as
big as rebuilding Britain after the war, and we must all rise to
this challenge. And yet we need to be clear that our path, the
path of renewal, it's long, it's difficult, it requires decisions
that are not cost-free or easy. Decisions - that will not always
be comfortable for our party.
“Yet at the end of this hard road there will be a new country, a
fairer country, a land of dignity and respect. Everyone seen,
everyone valued, wealth creation in every single community,
working people in control of their public services, the mindless
bureaucracy, that chokes enterprise, removed - so we can build
and keep on building.”
