UK Prmie Mnioster

in The Last Years our country has fought through the most challenging times since the second world war as I stand here as your prime minister I can't help but reflect that my first proper introduction to you was just over four years ago I stood behind one of the podiums upstairs in the building behind me I told you that we faced a generation defining moment and that we as a society would not be judged by some government action but by the small acts of kindness that we showed one another you met that challenge and then some and

I have never been proud of to be British and when I introduced the fow scheme I did so not because I saw a country simply in need of desperate help albeit we were but because I saw a country whose future hung in the balance I could be bold and Trust in the tens of millions of you at home that you would rise to the moment or I could accept the inevitable millions of job losses and pick up the pieces in truth it was no choice at all I have never and will never leave the people of this country to face the darkest of days alone and you know that
because you've seen it as I did then I will forever do everything in my power to provide you with the strongest possible protection I can that is my promise to you because for so many of us it's easy to forget the scale of what we've been through we were hit by a pandemic that upended normal life life who would have thought that the government would ever tell us how many times a day we could leave our homes then just as we were recovering from covid war returned to Europe with Putin's invasion of Ukraine sending your
energy bill spiraling I came to office above all to restore economic stability economic stability is the Bedrock of any future success whether that is rising wages in good jobs investment in our public services or the defense of the country and because of our Collective sacrifice and your hard work we have reached two major milestones in delivering that stability showing that when we work together anything is possible our economy is now growing faster than anyone predicted outpacing Germany France and the United States and
this morning it was confirmed that inflation is back to normal this means that the pressure on prices will ease and mortgage rates will come down this is proof that the plan and priorities I set out are working I recognize that it has not always been easy some of you will only just be starting to feel the benefit and for some it might still be hard when you look at your bank balance but this hard-earned economic stability was only ever meant to be the beginning the question now is how and who do you trust to turn that Foundation
into a secure future for you your family and our country now is the moment for Britain to choose its future to decide whether we want to build on the progress we have made or risk going back to square one with no plan and no certainty earlier today I spoke with his majesty the king to request the disolution of parliament the King has granted this request and we will have a general election on the th of July this election will take place at a time when the world is more dangerous than it has been since the end of the Cold War Putin
Russia is waging a brutal war in Ukraine and will not stop there if he succeeds that war has also made it all too clear the risk to our energy Security in the Middle East the forces of islamist extremism threaten Regional and ultimately global stability these tensions are exploited by extremists who seek to undermine our values and divide our society here at home China is looking to dominate the st century by stealing a lead in technology and migration is being weaponized by hostile states to threaten the Integrity of our
borders these uncertain times call for a clear plan and bold action to CH a course to a secure future you must choose in this election who has that plan who is prepared to take the Bold action necessary to secure a better future for our country and our children now I cannot and will not claim that we have got everything right no government should but I am proud of what we have achieved together the Bold actions we have taken and I'm confident about what we can do in the future we've tackled inflation control debt cut
workers taxes and increase the state pension by £we've reduced taxes on investment and seized the opportunities of brexit to make this the best country in the world to grow a business put record amounts of funding into our NHS and ensured it is now training the doctors and nurses it needs in the decades to come we've reformed education and our children are now the best readers in the Western World We prioritized energy security and your family finances over environmental Dogma in our approach to Net Zero we fully funded an increase in
defense spending to and a half% of GDP we made a decision to invest more in local transport that you actually use rather than endlessly plow more money into hswe set out a comprehensive plan to reform our welfare system to make it fair for those who pay for it as well as those who need it immigration is finally coming down and we are stopping the boats with our Rwanda partnership and we will ensure that the Next Generation grows up smoke free I hope that my work since I became prime minister shows that we have a plan
and are prepared to take bold action necessary for our country to flourish now I've stuck with that plan and always been honest with you about what is needed even when that's been difficult because I'm Guided by doing what is right for our country not what is easy I can't say the same thing for the labor party because I don't know what they offer and in truth I don't think you know either and that's because they have no plan there is no bold action and as a result the future can only be
uncertain with them on the th of July either K stor or I will be prime minister he has shown time and time again that he will take the easy way out and do anything to get power if he was happy to abandon all the promises he made to become later leader once he got the job how can you know that he won't do exactly the same thing if he were to become Prime Minister if you don't have the conviction to stick to anything you say if you don't have the courage to tell people what you want to do and if you
don't have a plan how can you possibly be trusted to lead our country especially at this most uncertain of times over the next few weeks I will fight for every vote I will earn your trust and I will prove to you that only a conservative government led by me will not put our hard-earned economic stability at risk can restore pride and confidence in our country and with a clear plan and bold action will deliver a secure future for you your family and our United Kingdom
