opportunities that lie in the public service at the heart of our
schools, hospitals, prisons and police stations.
The Prime Minister will say:
“We have seen more clearly than ever the heroic efforts of our
public workers during this pandemic.
“The fantastic teachers, police officers and NHS workers truly
are the pride of the nation and embody the spirit of public duty
that every one of us can aspire towards.
“Together, we are on a mission to build back better - protect our
NHS, make our streets safer, educate the next generation and
unleash Britain’s potential.”
