[ applause ] >> thank you. thank you. when we came to birmingham this week, some big questions were hanging in the air. do we have a plan for brexit? we do. are we ready for the effort it will take to see it through? we are. can boris johnson stay on message for a full four days? [ applause ] just about?

but i know there's another big question people want me to answer. what's my vision for britain, my philosophy, my approach? today, i want to answer that question very directly. i want to set out my vision for britain after brexit. i want to lay out my approach, the things i believe. i want to explain what a country that works for everyone means. i want to set our party and our country on the path towards the new center ground of british politics. built on the values of fairness and opportunity. where everyone plays by the same rules and where every single person, regardless of their background, or that of their parents, is given the chance to be all they want to be.

and as i -- [ applause ] and as i do so, i want to be clear about something else. that a vision is nothing without the determination to see it through. no vision ever built a business by itself. no vision ever clothed a family. no vision ever fed a country on its own. you need to put the hours in and the effort, too. but -- but if you do, great things can happen. great changes can occur. and be in no doubt that's what britain needs today. because in june, people voted for change, and a change is going to come.

change has got to come because as we leave the european union and take control of our own destiny, the task of tackling some of britain's longstanding challenges, like how to train enough people to do the jobs of the future, becomes ever more urgent. the change has got to come, too, because of the quiet revolution that took place in our country just three months ago. a revolution in which millions of our fellow citizens stood up and said they were not prepared to be ignored any more. because this -- [ applause ] this is a turning point for our country. a once in a generation chance changed the direction of our nation for good. to step back and ask ourselves

what kind of country we want to be. and let's be clear. we have come a long way over the past six years. we've brought the deficit down, got more people into work than ever before. taken the lowest pay out of income tax, established the new national living wage, helped nearly a million new businesses to set up and grow. but almost 1.5 million more children into good or outstanding schools. put record investment into the nhs, created nearly 3 million new apprenticeships and brought crime down by more than a quarter to its lowest ever level. that's a record of which we should all be proud. [ applause ] and this morning, it's right that we pause to say thank you to the man who made that possible. a man who challenged us to

change and told us that if we did, we would win again. and he was right. we did change. we did win. the first majority conservative government in almost 25 years. a great leader of our party. a great servant to our country, david cameron, thank you. [ applause ] but now, we need to change again. for the referendum was not just a vote to withdraw from the eu. it was about something broader. something that the european union had come to represent.

it was about a sense, deep, profound and, let's face it, often justified, that many people have today. that the world works well for a privileged few, but not for them. it was a vote not just to change britain's relationship with the european union but to call for a change in the way our country works, and the people for whom it works forever. knock on almost any door in almost any part of the country, and you will find the roots of that revolution laid bare. our society should work for everyone. but if you can't afford to get on to the property ladder, or your child is stuck in a bad school, it doesn't feel like it's working for you. our economy should work for everyone. but if your pay has stagnated for several years in a row and fixed items of spending keep going up, it doesn't feel like it's working for you.

our democracy should work for everyone. but if you have been trying to say things need to change for years and your complaints fall on deaf ears, it doesn't feel like it's working for you. and the roots of the revolution run deep. because it wasn't the wealthy who made the biggest sacrifices after the financial crisis but ordinary working class families. and -- [ applause ] and if you are one of those people who lost their job, who stayed in work but on reduced hours, took a pay cut as household bills rocketed, or, and i know a lot of people don't like to admit this. someone who finds themselves out of work or on lower wages because of low skills integration, life simply doesn't

seem fair. it feels like your dreams have been sacrificed in the service of others. so change has got to come. because if we don't respond, if we don't take this opportunity to deliver the change people want, rezentments will grow. divisions will become entrenched. and that would be a disaster for britain. because the lesson of britain is that we are a country built on the bonds of family, community, citizenship. of strong institutions and a strong society. the country of my parents who instilled in me a sense of public service and public servants everywhere who want to give something back. the parent who works hard all week but takes time out to coach the kids' football team at the

weekend. the local family business in my constituency that's been serving the community for more than 50 years. the servicemen and women i met last week who wear their uniform proudly at home and serve our nation with honor abroad. a country -- [ applause ] a country of decency, fairness and quiet resolve. and a successful country, small in size but large in stature. that with less than 1% of the world's population, boasts more nobel laureates than any country outside of the united states, with two more added just yesterday. two of them from this great city. a country -- [ applause ] a country that boasts three of

the top ten universities in the world. the world's leading financial capital. and institutions like the nhs and bbc whose reputations echo in some of the farthest corners of the globe. all possible because we are one united kingdom. england, scotland, wales and northern ireland. and i will always fight to preserve our proud historic union and will never let divisive nationalists drive apart. [ applause ] yet within our society today, we see division and unfairness all around. between a more prosperous older generation and a struggling younger generation.

between the wealth of london and the rest of the country. but perhaps most of all, between the rich, the successful and the powerful and their fellow citizens. now don't get me wrong. we applaud success. we want people to get on. but we also value something else, the spirit of citizenship. that spirit that means you respect the bonds and obligat n obligations that make our society work. that means a commitment to the men and women who live around you, who work for you, who buy the goods and services you sell. that spirit that means recognizing the social contract that says you train up local young people before you take on cheap labor from overseas. that spirit that means you do as others do and pay your fair share of tax. but today --

[ applause ] but today, too many people in positions of power behave as though they have more in common with international elites than with the people down the road, the people they employ, the people they pass on the street. but if you believe you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere. you don't understand what the very word citizenship means. so if you are a boss who earns a fortune but doesn't look after your staff, an international company that treats tax laws as an optional extra, a household name that refuses to work with the authorities even to fight terrorism. a director who takes out massive dividends, while nearly the company pension is about to go bust. [ applause ]

i am putting you on warning. this can't go on anymore. a change has got to come, and this party is going to make it. [ applause ] so today, i want to set out my plans for a britain where everyone plays by the same rules and every person has the opportunity to be all they want to be. it's a plan to tackle the unfairness and injustice that divides us. so that we may build a new united britain, rooted in the center ground. a plan that will mean government stepping up, righting wrongs, challenging vested interests, taking big decisions, doing what we believe to be right. getting the job done. because that's the good that government can do. and it's what i am in this for.

to stand up for the weak and to stand up to the strong. and to put the power of government squarely at the service of ordinary working class people. because too often, that isn't how it works today. just listen to the way a lot of politicians and commentators talk about the public. they find your patriotism distasteful. your concerns about immigration parochial. your views about crime illiberal. your attachment to your job security inconvenient. they find the fact that more than 17 million voters decided to leave the european union simply bewildering. because if you are well off and comfortable, britain is a different country. and these concerns are not your concerns. it's easy to dismiss them. easy to say that all you want from government is for it to get

out of the way. but a change has got to come. it's time to remember the good that government can do. time for a new approach that says while government doesn't have all the answers, government can and should be a force for good. that the state exists to provide what individual people, communities and markets cannot. and that we should employ the power of government for the good of the people. time to reject the ideological templates provided by the socialist left and the libertarian right. and to embrace a new center ground in which government steps up and not back to act on behalf of us all. providing security from crime, but from ill health and unemployment, too. supporting free markets but stepping in to repair them when they aren't working as they should. encouraging business and supporting free trade. but not accepting one set of

rules for some and another for everyone else. [ applause ] and if we do, if we act to correct unfairness and injustice and put government at the service of ordinary working people, we can build that new united britain in which everyone plays by the same rules and in which the powerful and the privileged no longer ignore the interests of the people. only we can do it. because the main lesson i take from the conference last week is that the labor party is not just divided but divisive. determined to pit one against another. to pursue vendettas and settle scores. and to embrace the politics of pointless protest that simply pulls people further apart.

that's what labor stands for. fighting among themselves, abusing their own mps, threatening to end their careers, tolerating anti-semitism and supporting voices of hate. you know what some people call them? the nasty party. [ applause ] and with labor divided, divisive and out of touch, we have a responsibility to step up, represent and govern for the whole nation.

so where labor build barriers, we will build bridges. that means tackling unfairness and injustice and >> balance of britain decisively in favor of ordinary working class people. giving them access to the opportunities that are too often the preserve of the privileged few. putting fairness at the heart of our agenda and creating a country in which hard work is rewarded and talent is welcome. a nation where contribution matters more than entitlement. merit matters more than wealth. a confident global britain that doesn't turn it's back on globalization but ensures the benefits are shared by all. a country that is prosperous and secure so that every person may share in the wealth of the nation and live their life free

from fear. that's what i mean by a country that works for everyone and if we believe in the government it's important for people to trust us. >> because it took that typically and this establishment to ignore the threats and that same resolve now and let's be clear about what is going to happen. article 50 triggered no later than the end of march. a great repeal bill to get rid

of the european communities act introduced in the next parliamentary session. laws made not in westminster but the brussels. our judges sitting not in luxenburg but in courts across the land. the authorities of eu law in this country and people told us they want it. the people told us that they wanted these things and this conservative government is going to deliver them. and it will require some give and take and while there will always be pressure to give a

running commentary it will not be in our national interest to do so but let me be clear about the agreement we seek. i want to reflect the strong and mature relationships and european friends. and i want to include cooperation of law enforcement and counter terrorism work. i want it to involve free trade and goods and services. it it to give british companies the maximum freedom to trade with and operate within the single market and let european businesses do the same here but let's state one thing loud and clear. we're not leaving the european union only to give up control of immigration all over again and we're not leaving only to return to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice. that's not going to happen. we are leaving to become once more a fully sovereign and independent country and the deal is going to have to work for

britain. [ applause ] >> and that is going to be a global britain. and the european union will not leave the continent of europe. we will not abandon our friends and allies abroad and we will not retreat from the world. in fact, snou the time to forge a bold new confident role on the world stage. keeping our promises to the poorest people in the world providing humanitarian support for refugees in need. taking the lead on cracking down on modern slavery where ever it

is found. ratifying the paris agreement on climate change and always acting as the strongest and most passionate advocate for free trade right across the globe. and and strong national defense and forces known to man. and this week our excellent defense secretary proved not only that we will support them with our hearts and souls, not only will we remain committed to spending 10% of our national income doechbs but we will never again in any future conflict let those activists left wing human rights lawyers harang and harass the bravest of the brave, the men and women of our armed

forces. [ applause ] >> it's about restoring fairness. something that must be at the heart of everything we do. supporting those that do the right thing and who make a contribution. helping those give something back and that's at the heart of my plan for our economy too. an economy that is fair and everyone plays by the same rules. that means acting to tackle the economy's structural problems that hold people back. things like the shortage of affordable homes. the need to make big decisions on and invest in our infrastructure. the need to rebalance the

economy across sectors and areas in order to spread wealth and prosperity around the country. politicians talked about this for years. but the trouble is, this kind of change will never just happen by itself. if that's what we want we need the vision and determination to see it through. and working on a new industrial strategy to address these long-term structure challenges and get britain firing on all cylinders again. bringing old companies back from the dead. it's about identifying industries and strategic value to our economy and supporting and promoting them through policies on trade, tax infrastructure, skills, training and research and development it's about doing what every other major economy in the world does.

putting in place a plan and getting on with the job. wee continue on with tech, aerospace, car manufacturing and others that are of strategic importance to our economy and do everything we can to encourage, develop and support them and we will identify the places that have the potential to contribute to economic groel growth and become the homes to millions of new jobs. that means inspiring an economic and cultural revival of all of our great regional cities. and we have made a start over the past year foreign direct investment in the north has increased at double the rate of the rest of the country. here in birmingham -- [ applause ] >> here in birmingham thanks to

the incredible jaguar land rover it's the only part of the country that runs a trade surplus with china. it's on track to deliver 300,000 more jobs by 2020. now it's time to build on that success in birmingham and manchester and other cities across the country. and as we're here in birmingham this week let's show our support for the conservative party's candidate for next week's mayoral election. an action man in birmingham playing his part in transforming the city. a man to get things done. the future mayor of the west midlands andy street.

>> an economy that works for everyone is an economy where everyone plays by the same rules. i understand the frustration people feel when they see the rich and powerful getting away with things that they themselves wouldn't dream of thing and they wouldn't get away with if they tried. i understand that because i feel it too. there's always an excuse, a reason why something can't be done. when that's used as a basis for inaction. faith in capitalism and free markets falls. and always in free markets and that's precisely why it's this party that should offend them. >> conservatives always understood that if you want to preserve something important you need to be prepared to reform it. and we must apply that same approach today.

that's why where markets are dysfunctional we should be prepared to intervene. where companies are exploiting the failures of the market where they operate and consumer choice is inhibited by deliberately complex pricing structures we must set the market right. it's just not right, for example that half of people living in rural areas and so many small businesses can't get a descent broadband connection. [ applause ] >> it's just not right that 2-thirds of energy customers are stuck on the most expensive tariffs and it's just not right that the housing market continues to fail working people either. ask almost any question about social fairness or problems with our economy and the answer so often comes back to housing. high housing costs and the

growing gap between those on the property and those that are not lie at the heart of falling social mobility, falling savings and low productive. we will do everything we can to help people financially so they can buy their own home. that's why help to buy and right to buy are the right things to do but as he said in his bold speech on monday, there is an honest truth we need to address. we simply need to build more homes. this means using the power of government to step in and repair the function dysfunctional housing market. it means encouraging new technologies that will help us to get more houses built faster and putting in more government investment too. it means stepping up and doing what's right for britain. making the market work for working people because that's what government can do and something else we need to do

take big, sometimes even controversial decisions about our country's infrastructure because we need to get britain firing in all areas again. it's why we will press ahead with plans for high speed too. linking london and birmingham and eventually towns and cities in the north. why we will shortly announce a decision on expanding britain's airport capacity and why having rehe viewed the evidence and added important new national security safe guards we signed up to hinkley point. we will take the big decisions when they're the right decisions for britain because that's what government can do and we can make these big decisions because our economy is strong and because of the fiscal discipline we have shown over the last six years and we must continue to aim for a balanced budget but to build an economy that works for everyone we must also invest in

the things that matter. the thick with the long-term return. that's how we will address the weaknesses in our economy. include our productive and increase economic growth and ensure everyone gets a fair share. and that's not the only reason. why monetary policy with super low interest rates and quantitative easing provided necessary emergency medicine after the financial crash and people with assets have got richer. and that's what a conservative government can do. [ applause ]

>> this party will always be the party of business large and small but we must acknowledge that the way a small number of businesses behave fuels the frustration people feel. it's not the norm. i know that most businesses and the people that run them are hard working entrepreneurial and public spirited at heart but the actions of a few tar the reputations of the many. so the party that believes in business is going to change things to help support it. too often the people that are are supposed to hold big business accountable are drawn from the same narrow, social and professional circles as the executive team and too often the scrutiny they provide is not good enough. a change has got to come. so later this year we'll publish our plans to have not just consumers represented on company

boards but workers as well because we are the party of workers. those that put in the effort. those that contribute and give of their best. that's why we announced on saturday we're going to review our laws to make sure that in our modern and flexible economy people are properly protected at work. that's right. workers rights. not under stretch from a conservative government. workers rights protected and enhanced by a conservative government and let me say something about tax we're all conservatives here. we all believe in a low tax economy but we also know that tax is the price we pay for living in a civilized society. nobody, no individual tycoon or business has succeeded on their own. their goods are transported by road, their workers are educated in schools. their customers are part of

sophisticated networks taking in the private sector, the public sector and charities. we all played a part in that success so it doesn't matter to me who you are. if you're a tax dodger we're coming after you. [ applause ] >> if you're an accountant, financial advisor or a middleman that helps people to avoid what they owe to society, we're coming after you too. [ applause ] ifshlths and whoever you are, however rich or powerful you have a duty to pay your tax and we're going to make sure that you do. this is a big agenda for change

but it is necessary and essential. it's a program for government to act to create an economy that works for everyone. an economy on the side of ordinary working class people and an economy that is the institutions upon which we all rely. to invest in the things we hold dear. and the vital national institution. an institution that reflects our values, our belief in fairness and to which we all take enormous pride and i mean, all. because there is complete cross party support for the nhs. status as a provider of free at the point of views health care for the thousands of doctors and nurses that work around the clock to care for their patients and we all have a story. about the nurse that cared for a

loved one or the surgeon that saved the life of a friend so let us take this opportunity to say to those doctors and nurses, thank you. [ applause ] >> but year after year, election after election, labor tried to use it. on every election since it was established labor have said that the tourist would cut the nhs and every time we have spent more on it. every election they say we want to privatize it and every time we have protected it. in fact, the party expanded the use in the private sector of the

nhs the fastest was not this party but the labor party. >> can you get that instead. >> the only policy to ever cut spending is not this party but the labor party that's what they did in wales. and the last election it wasn't the labor party that pledged to give the nhs the money it asked for to meet it's five year plan. it was this party. the conservative party investing an extra 10 billion pounds in the nhs. more than it's leaders asked for. more patients are are being treated and more operations are being carried out by more doctors and more nurses than ever before. that's a tribute to everyone that works in the nhs.

but also to jeremy hunt, who is the most passionate -- [ applause ] >> for patients doctors nurses and others that work in our health service than i have ever known. so let's have no more of labour's absurd belief that they have a monopoly on compassion. >> let's put an end to the pretense of moral superiority. let's make clear they have given up the right to call themselves the party of the nhs and the party of the workers and party of public servants. they gave up that right when

they adopted the politics of division. when their ideological fixations lead them to stop listening to the country. and we the conservative party truly are the party of the workers. the party of public servants. the party of the nhs. >> because we believe in public service. we believe in investing and supporting the institutions that make our country great. we believe in the good that government can do. government cannot stand aside when it sees social in justice and unfairness. if we want to make sure that britain is a country that works for everyone, government has to act to make sure opportunity is

shared. and i want us to be a country where it doesn't matter where you are born and who your parents are and where you went to school or what your accent sounds like, what god you worship, whether your a man or a woman, gay or straight, black or white, all that should matter is the talent that you have and how hard you're prepared to work. [ applause ] >> but if we're honest ooel admit that's not the case for everyone today. advancement is still too often determined by wealth or circumstance. by an accident or birth rather

than talent and privilege not merit. rebalancing our economy is a start but if we're serious about overturning some of the long standing injustices and barriers that stop working people from getting on we need that economic reform to be allied with deep social reform too because as a society that works for everyone is a society based on fairness and only genuine social reform can deliver it. helping more people on to the housing ladder. making sure that every child has access to a good school place. it means never writing off people that can work and consigning them to a life on benefits but giving them a chance to earn a living and enjoy the dignity from a job well done but for those that can't work we must offer our full support which is why it was

so important that green announced on saturday that we would end the retesting of those with chronic health conditions that only induss stress. and genuine social reform means addressing historic injustices that hold too many people back. some of my proudest moments came when we began to tackle deep seeded and long standing problems that view dared to tackle before i introduced the first ever modern slavery act bringing in tough new penalties to put slave masters behind bars with life sentences for the worst offenders. i cut the police's use of stop and search by almost 2-thirds and reduced the disproportion gnat targeting of young black men and i know our impressive home secretary is committed to carrying on that work.

[ applause ] but injustices remain. you're three times more likely to be perm nabtly excluded from school than other children. if you're a black woman you're 7 times more likely to be detained under mental health legislation than a white woman. people in ethnic minority households are almost twice as likely to live in relative poverty than white people but it's not just those from minority backgrounds who are effected. white working class boys are less likely to go to university than any other group in society. we cannot let this stand. not if a country that works for everyone is the principle that binds us all together.

that's why i launched an unprecedented audit for public services to shine a light on racial disparities and let us do something about them. and all burning injustices and this conservative government to fight every single one of them. a society that works for everyone is one of fairness and opportunity. a society in which everyone has the chance to go as far as their talents will take them. that's why in one of the first speeches i gave as prime minister i set out my plans to transform britain into a maritocracy and that starts in our schools. i want britain to be where every child has an access to a place

that's right for that individual child because britan after brexit will need to make use of all the talent we have in this country. thanks to the free schools and program and the efforts of teachers and heads and governors there's 1.3 million more children in good and outstanding schools compared with 2010 but we need to go further because there's still one and a quarter million children in schools that are are just not good enough. and in the mid lands and the north you have less chance of attending a good school than children in the south. this simply cannot go on. that's why we set out a new pack computer of reforms building on the success to increase the number of good school places across the country so there's not just a school place for every child but a good school place for every child. a school place that suits the skills, interests and abilities

of every single pupil. that's why -- [ applause ] >> that's why we want more of our great universities to set up more sponsor schools in the state sector just as the university of birmingham schools have done from here. in return for their charitable tax status we want them to do more to take on children without the means to pay or set up and sponsor good state schools. it's why we want more good faith schools for parents and pupils that want them and it's why we have said whether it's demand from parents where they will definitely take pupils from all backgrounds where they will play a part in improving the quality of all schools in their area, they will lift the ban on establishing new grammar schools too.

politicians have said for people crying out for change they can't have what they want. we don't think you should have it even though we enjoy the very same things for ourselves and you end up in the absurd situation where you stop these good popular life changing schools from opening. you can send them to a selective private school or afford to send them long distances to get the education you want. but if you're not, you cannot.

i can think of no better illustration of the problem. why ordinary working class people think it's one rule for them and another for everyone else because the message we're sending them is this, we will not allow their children to have the same opportunities that wealthier children enjoy. that is a scandal and we, the conservative party must bring it to an end. >> my vision is for britain to be a great meritocracy and it's being designed to serve. and a country based on merit and not privilege is a country that's fair. and in justice and unfairness. we can build the new united britain that we need and united

we can do great things. we saw that. in the summer in rio. we saw how individual success was powered by collective effort. how the dedication andal hent and one was supported and how a governments determination, the conservative governments determination to back britain's success contributed. >> we were honored to welcome four members of the team. to our conference on monday. and to them, and to every athlete and every member of team and pa we say thank you you did your country proud.

[ applause ] it was a memorable summer for british sport but one molt stood out for me above all others. it wasn't from rio. it happened later. a couple of weeks ago on the sun drenched streets of cozumel in mexico, johnny brownly was heading for glory. the finishing line in sight when he faltered, stopped and was falling exhausted to the ground. and just behind him his brother alaba allister, a tough competitor that typically yields to no one

and seeing his brother struggle he didn't pass on by. as other competitors ran past, he stopped, reached out his hand and gently carried him home. and there in that moment we saw revealed an essential truth that we succeed or failed together. and succeed together or fall short together. and our most basic human instinct is to put our own self-interest aside and help them over the line. that's why the central tennant of my belief is that there is more to life than individualism and self-interest. we form families.

mauz. >> we form families, communities and cities and counts and nations and we have a responsibility to one another and government has a responsibility to. it is to act and encourage and nurture those relationships and networks and institutions and to step up and correct injustices and tackle unfairness where it can because these are the things that drive us apart. >> that's what i have always said in which my mission and the mission of this party is to build a country that truly works for everyone. not just for the privileged few. it's why when i stood on the steps for number ten as the first time as prime minister 84 days ago i said that the government i lead will be driven not by the interests of the rich and powerful but by the

interests of ordinary working class people. and this week, we have shown the country that we mean business. not just protecting but enhancing workers rights. building an economy that is fair where everyone plays by the same rules. getting more houses built. more doctors in the nhs. investing in things that will make our economy grow. hundred of great new schools. universities and fee paying schools. helping state schools to improve and yes, where parents want them, and where they'll improve standards for children of whatever background. the first new grammer schools to open in britain for 50 years. [ applause ] >> this is a bold plan to build
