will reflect on the tumultuous two years since the last
Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, and how the
Government has delivered on all its core pledges to Get Brexit
Done, defying its critics who claimed it was impossible or would
take years and years.
He will look ahead to the transformative opportunities the UK is
already pursuing now we are a fully independent state in charge
of our own laws - new FTAs, a new immigration system,
agricultural support system, data regime, international sanctions
regime, and world class technology-led approaches to gene editing
and GMOs, medical licensing and medical devices, the future of
transport, and Artificial Intelligence.
He will highlight the fact that this is only the start of the
government's ambition to spur on a new British Renaissance, and
look ahead to further work on major reforms, including a
comprehensive review of all inherited EU law to ensure that
Retained EU Law that is not right for the UK - and was never
subject to proper democratic scrutiny - can be quickly repealed
or revised.
He will say:
"All history, all experience, shows that democratic countries
with free economies, which let people keep more of the money they
have earned, make their own decisions, and manage their own
lives, are not just richer but also happier and more admired by
others.
That is where we need to take this country. The opportunities
are huge. The long bad dream of our EU membership is over. The
British Renaissance has begun."
He will also issue a warning to the EU over the Northern Ireland
Protocol, warning that the Protocol now risks undermining the
Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, and that the threshold for the use
of Article 16 Safeguards has been met. He will warn that
'tinkering at the edges' will not fix the fundamental problems
with the Protocol, and urge the EU to be more 'ambitious' in
their approach so that an agreed solution which fixes the problem
can be found.
