:00:00. > :00:13.... You will agree it's absolutely right that we all decided to
:00:14. > :00:22.continue with this campaign in spite of the appalling events in London.
:00:23. > :00:30.That is because the decision we face is too important and the decision is
:00:31. > :00:35.about democracy itself because I believe there is only one party at
:00:36. > :00:40.this election and only one potential Prime Minister that is willing to
:00:41. > :00:45.stick up for the democratic will of the British people and only one
:00:46. > :00:52.party that she really believes in our ability to believe in ourselves
:00:53. > :01:01.and letters Theresa May and the Conservatives. Last year this
:01:02. > :01:08.country style of the world by taking a suit decision that we had a load
:01:09. > :01:15.for too long in the biggest mandate ever, the British people voted third
:01:16. > :01:20.to leave the European Union and we took back control of our cash and
:01:21. > :01:28.our borders and above all our lawmaking system to put the British
:01:29. > :01:35.people back there in our freedom to take back our economic destiny and
:01:36. > :01:40.the traditions of this country is a global Britain in a trading nation
:01:41. > :01:48.that does not just look to our friends in Europe but around the
:01:49. > :01:52.world. It is a moment of hope and opportunity and I can assure you
:01:53. > :01:57.there are plenty of people in Brussels and indeed some in this
:01:58. > :02:02.country who have spent the night and day since June the 23rd scheming and
:02:03. > :02:08.plotting that they will be able to reverse that decision. I ask you, do
:02:09. > :02:17.we want them to frustrate the will of the people? Do we want them to
:02:18. > :02:21.overturn our democratic decision and frustrates Brexit. In the last year
:02:22. > :02:26.I have seen levers and remain is coming together overwhelmingly
:02:27. > :02:30.resolved to get it done and to get the best deal in the interests of
:02:31. > :02:37.Britain and the rest of Europe. And I'm afraid in Brussels, they don't
:02:38. > :02:42.yet see it that way. There are plenty of people who secretly think
:02:43. > :02:49.that they can turn this thing around because they've done it before. Look
:02:50. > :02:52.at what happened in France, in Denmark, in Ireland, I've studied
:02:53. > :02:57.the history of the EU intimately over the last 30 years or so and I
:02:58. > :03:03.can tell you whenever a population is so Tamil areas as to revolt
:03:04. > :03:08.against the EU system, never people have risen up and said no to some EU
:03:09. > :03:14.treaty that takes an further into the architecture of a federal
:03:15. > :03:16.superstate, they find that the EU establishment, the great glutinous
:03:17. > :03:22.conglomerate are privileged interest somehow miraculously persuades them
:03:23. > :03:27.to have another go, have another referendum and this time, but the
:03:28. > :03:35.answer that the EU wants and I'm afraid to say it has worked every
:03:36. > :03:39.time. And this time in the UK they have I'm afraid another advantage
:03:40. > :03:43.and that is the Labour Party and a Jeremy Corbyn, the only other
:03:44. > :03:47.possible Prime Minister on Friday and I don't know what Mr Corbyn
:03:48. > :03:55.personally thinks about the EU and I'm not sure which were devoted, but
:03:56. > :04:00.I do know he is in no way in the position to lead this country in the
:04:01. > :04:05.negotiations and they begin an 11 days of Thursday, just imagine the
:04:06. > :04:11.scene in Brussels if Jeremy Corbyn were to mosey in to take his seat
:04:12. > :04:17.opposite Angela Merkel and Jean-Claude Junker, macron, all of
:04:18. > :04:21.the rest of them, they would look at him with what is called wild
:04:22. > :04:26.surmise. Not just because they don't know what his position is that
:04:27. > :04:30.because he doesn't know what he really wants. He doesn't know
:04:31. > :04:39.whether he wants to be in the single market or not. Diane Abbott, the
:04:40. > :04:44.Oracle, says yes. Emily Thornbury says no. He doesn't know if he was
:04:45. > :04:49.city in the customs union or not even no clarity on that is crucial
:04:50. > :04:54.for free trade around the world. He is not even sure he wants to reduce
:04:55. > :04:58.immigration, even though you would think that is a key advantage of
:04:59. > :05:04.taking back control of our borders. As for taking back control of our
:05:05. > :05:08.cash, can you imagine Jeremy Corbyn having the grip and the
:05:09. > :05:13.determination to two back control of the 20 billion gross that we said to
:05:14. > :05:21.Brussels every year, do you think he has the firmness of purpose to do it
:05:22. > :05:26.is, who sends out a signal to all would-be terrorists that he
:05:27. > :05:31.disapproves of shoot to kill. Even when those terrorists are
:05:32. > :05:36.threatening unarmed civilians, a guy who pre-emptively informs any power
:05:37. > :05:41.to engage in nuclear blackmail that as our Prime Minister he would not
:05:42. > :05:47.under any circumstances deploy Trident so making a nonsense of our
:05:48. > :05:56.nuclear deterrent. For 30 years he has been soft and muddleheaded on
:05:57. > :06:00.terror, soft and muddleheaded on defence and he has taken the side of
:06:01. > :06:08.just about every anniversary this country has had in my lifetime. From
:06:09. > :06:16.the IRA to harm us, from Soviet communism to General Galtieri and of
:06:17. > :06:19.course I don't mean to compare our European friends to any of those
:06:20. > :06:24.people but it is psychologically impossible to imagine him having the
:06:25. > :06:33.firmness to get the right Brexit deal. A Corbyn negotiating team
:06:34. > :06:39.would arrive like a family of herbivores arriving at the water
:06:40. > :06:43.hole of lions, they would be eaten for breakfast. It is worse than
:06:44. > :06:48.that, his negotiating team would not just consist of the Labour Party,
:06:49. > :07:02.that's group of ex-loonie London left that have captured the Labour
:07:03. > :07:09.Party... We know he couldn't govern by himself and would go in a
:07:10. > :07:20.coalition said he would would appear in Brussels as a monster with Nicola
:07:21. > :07:26.Sturgeon jabbering on an Tim Farron going telling him to do what
:07:27. > :07:38.Brussels wants because both are 100% committed to reverse the decision.
:07:39. > :07:41.How on earth word Corbyn be able to construct a negotiating position
:07:42. > :07:46.with that pair on his back, how could get it done, the answers he
:07:47. > :07:57.couldn't and he wouldn't. The answer on Brexit would dissolve into a
:07:58. > :08:01.puddle of incoherence. There is only one person who has the resolve to
:08:02. > :08:13.get this done and get this done well and that is Theresa
:08:14. > :08:26.rare Theresa May set out her visions that was instantly understood around
:08:27. > :08:29.Europe, taking back control of money, our borders, our laws, the
:08:30. > :08:34.filling the mandate of the British people and leaving the federalising
:08:35. > :08:41.the legal order of the EU but not leaving Europe. We want to code a
:08:42. > :08:45.special partnership, a strong Britain and a strong EU connected
:08:46. > :08:56.via a frictionless free-trade agreement.
:08:57. > :09:07.There is so much we can do together and we will continue. We
:09:08. > :09:12.Conservatives took Britain into what was called the Common Market, not
:09:13. > :09:18.because we had to lose our sovereignty, we were always anxious
:09:19. > :09:34.about that but because we have been true internationalists, it felt as
:09:35. > :09:40.if being international fell like being in it's time to look towards a
:09:41. > :09:44.horizon and it is our country's destiny to nudge us to gauge his
:09:45. > :09:51.friends and partners that have the whole of the rest of the 93% of
:09:52. > :10:03.humanity that does not live in as well so is that though. If we are to
:10:04. > :10:06.make most of that opportunity then removed the right policies and it
:10:07. > :10:11.makes me shudder to think that we could seriously be about to elect a
:10:12. > :10:15.Corbyn led administration that would put destructive tax on businesses
:10:16. > :10:20.and homes at the very moment when we should be about to go forward with a
:10:21. > :10:26.great new global Britain, Jeremy Corbyn take us back the 1970s
:10:27. > :10:32.completed the loony left and union control. This is the moment to
:10:33. > :10:38.believe in the potential of Brexit Britain, we have so much to be proud
:10:39. > :10:43.of in this country, so many ways we knock spots off our competitors, not
:10:44. > :10:55.just in Europe but around the world, we lead the way in so many areas of
:10:56. > :10:59.enterprise. It's a fantastic country, we are no slouch is that
:11:00. > :11:04.manufacturers, there is a factory here in the north-east that produces
:11:05. > :11:11.more cars than some G-7 countries which I will not name for diplomatic
:11:12. > :11:20.reasons. You're making colossal investments, more than any time in
:11:21. > :11:25.the last century, taking it forward, new clean power, high speed rail,
:11:26. > :11:29.new battery technologies, we are transforming the opportunities of
:11:30. > :11:35.our kids in our educational systems, creating the bedrock, the bedrock of
:11:36. > :11:41.investments, public investment on which business can flourish and grow
:11:42. > :11:44.because we are utterly unlike Jeremy Corbyn in this crucial respect in
:11:45. > :11:51.that we understand the importance of business. Not just in producing the
:11:52. > :11:54.innovation that improves our lives and environment but producing the
:11:55. > :12:05.tax revenues that enable us to pay the great public services.
:12:06. > :12:15.A strong NHS, great schools and great infrastructure. That is the
:12:16. > :12:21.symmetry at the heart of our one nation conservativism. Great public
:12:22. > :12:32.services, culture made possible by public services. We have so much
:12:33. > :12:41.look forward to. We have forecast that the UK will become the most
:12:42. > :12:45.powerful economy by man in Europe and in the whole of the European
:12:46. > :12:52.continent and of course we have challenges that we can meet those
:12:53. > :12:59.challenges. We are a fantastic country and we can get it right, we
:13:00. > :13:03.can make a huge success of Brexit and the global role and identity
:13:04. > :13:16.that we now want to forge. That we can only do it if Reback ourselves
:13:17. > :13:25.and if we're believing ourselves. It is absolutely vital that we elect a
:13:26. > :13:32.government and we negotiate with courage, determinism and optimism,
:13:33. > :13:37.my friends we have a couple of days to get this right, let's get Brexit
:13:38. > :13:43.done, let's get Brexit writes, let's believe in Britain bans let's work
:13:44. > :13:47.for the next 48 hours to make sure our negotiations are led by Theresa
:13:48. > :14:08.May and the Conservatives. Thank you all for coming.
:14:09. > :14:17.Thank you everybody, I have questions, either list of people who
:14:18. > :14:24.want to answer questions so I will obey my instructions and go to ITV.
:14:25. > :14:28.Siddique Khan says London's police are in the middle of the billion
:14:29. > :14:34.pound worth of cuts and you as may cut the police funding last year,
:14:35. > :14:40.how is that making anyone safer? As everybody knows full well, not only
:14:41. > :14:46.did we can delete -- keep police numbers higher for every year, we
:14:47. > :14:52.kept police numbers at around 32000 and indeed they were higher in our
:14:53. > :14:58.period of our office in virtually every year in which Labour was in
:14:59. > :15:07.office in the last 13 years before them and we are investing in
:15:08. > :15:09.counterterrorism and putting 1900 more into those operations as well
:15:10. > :15:20.as putting more armed police Toby Harris, the Labour peer by the
:15:21. > :15:26.way confirmed in his report that he did not think more armed officers
:15:27. > :15:34.were an essential part of the mix. I think most people would pay tribute
:15:35. > :15:43.to the fantastic work of the armed officers on Saturday night. They
:15:44. > :15:48.dealt with an appalling situation with extraordinary speed and
:15:49. > :15:55.despatch and I think within eight minutes they had neutralised three
:15:56. > :15:59.murderers. All I would say is, I want a Government that supports
:16:00. > :16:04.those people, that believes in what they do, they'll give them the
:16:05. > :16:07.backing they need against some very clever lawyers who'll be looking for
:16:08. > :16:11.all sorts of opportunities to undermine what they do. That really
:16:12. > :16:14.concerns me that Jeremy Corbyn the only guy who could be Prime Minister
:16:15. > :16:22.apart from Theresa May on Friday, until very recently was saying he
:16:23. > :16:25.did not support shoot-to-kill which was absolutely indispensable in
:16:26. > :16:37.protecting innocent life on Saturday.
:16:38. > :16:43.The BBC next. REPORTER: The third attacker has
:16:44. > :16:47.just been named. Apparently he is an Italian Moroccan who tried to travel
:16:48. > :16:51.from Italy to Syria and the Italian authorities told the UK authorities
:16:52. > :16:55.about this last year. Were you, as Foreign Secretary, aware of that,
:16:56. > :16:58.and given the red flags apparently emerging about these attackers, have
:16:59. > :17:09.the police and Security Services failed? Well, EU am not familiar
:17:10. > :17:13.with the details of the investigation you have just
:17:14. > :17:25.announced. We and MI5 will be looking at exactly who these
:17:26. > :17:31.characters were, what we knew about them earlier on and I've worked with
:17:32. > :17:34.the security loch services and they do a fantastic job. If there are
:17:35. > :17:38.lessons to be learnt from this event, of course we'll learn them,
:17:39. > :17:43.but it's vital that they are allowed to get on with their work, that they
:17:44. > :17:47.are properly supported and, let me just remind you and forgive me for
:17:48. > :17:52.labouring this point, but a lot of people have attacked policing,
:17:53. > :17:57.so-called cuts in policing and we heard earlier from the gentleman
:17:58. > :18:02.from ITV making that point. Actually, it is this Government
:18:03. > :18:06.under Theresa May that has pushed through measures to deal with
:18:07. > :18:10.terrorists and the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, I do not have
:18:11. > :18:18.any confidence they'd do the same. This is a guy who actually voted
:18:19. > :18:24.against the formal establishment of MI5 in 1989 who boasts that he's
:18:25. > :18:31.voted against every piece of Counter-Terrorism legislation that's
:18:32. > :18:34.been brought before Parliament. You have Diane Abbott who does not think
:18:35. > :18:39.that Al-Qaeda should be a prescribed organisation and who voted against
:18:40. > :18:46.that. It beggars belief these people should be running our country from
:18:47. > :18:54.Friday. I hope everybody will vote for a solid Conservative approach to
:18:55. > :18:57.tackle this problem and deal with the scourge of terrorism in the
:18:58. > :19:11.multiple ways that the Prime Minister outlined on Sunday in her
:19:12. > :19:16.excellent speech. Robert? REPORTER: Robert of Sky is not with
:19:17. > :19:22.us I'm sorry to say. Never mind, I did a lot on Sky earlier on so Sky
:19:23. > :19:26.had bags of me. Let's go to Nick from Newsnight.
:19:27. > :19:30.REPORTER: Thank you, Foreign Secretary. We were told at the
:19:31. > :19:34.beginning of this campaign that it would be a presidential tour by
:19:35. > :19:40.Theresa May with you only playing a minor role. Now with 48-hours to go
:19:41. > :19:43.and after a faltering campaign by Theresa May, you are playing a
:19:44. > :19:47.prominent role. So is the Prime Minister so alarmed by the success
:19:48. > :19:53.of Jeremy Corbyn, the man you described as a mug wump, that she's
:19:54. > :19:58.hoping... Wholly accurately, by the way...
:19:59. > :20:02.APPLAUSE. Is she hoping that Boris Johnson's
:20:03. > :20:06.hind keep effect is going to reach out to voters in part of this
:20:07. > :20:12.country where she's struggling? Nick, I've been engaging with you,
:20:13. > :20:16.with the voters of this country for the last five weeks but there is one
:20:17. > :20:20.choice, that is the point, there is one choice for the people on
:20:21. > :20:23.Thursday, as you rightly say. In 48-hour, it boils down to a clear
:20:24. > :20:29.and simple choice between a strong and determined woman in the form of
:20:30. > :20:34.Theresa May who has a fantastic plan for Brexit, understands who we need
:20:35. > :20:40.to take this country forward and Jeremy Corbyn who is at very best
:20:41. > :20:46.weak and vacillated. He now says he's in favour of shoot-to-kill and
:20:47. > :20:50.wasn't until the weekend, I don't see how we can trust him with our
:20:51. > :21:00.safety. He's wobbled all over the place. ?31 billion on Trident. What
:21:01. > :21:05.is the point if he doesn't want nuke support and we'd be firing blanks.
:21:06. > :21:12.It's not just the safety and security of our country, but the
:21:13. > :21:16.people in this one terrorism I don't think people around Britain realise
:21:17. > :21:20.how much other countries look to us and depend on us. We are one of the
:21:21. > :21:25.great nuclear powers of the world, we are the second biggest NATO
:21:26. > :21:31.contributor. We have a huge military presence around the world, we do a
:21:32. > :21:36.massive amount to defend our values. They would be appalled if Britain,
:21:37. > :21:40.with all the good things that we do were suddenly abstracted, taken away
:21:41. > :21:45.from the defence of Europe and of the world. That would be the real
:21:46. > :21:48.tragedy in my view of a Jeremy Corbyn premiership. To say nothing
:21:49. > :21:53.of the catastrophic damage that he threatens to to to the economy,
:21:54. > :21:57.whacking up taxes on business to pay for his pie-in-the-sky plans to
:21:58. > :22:04.renationalise it. The trouble is, young people these days, and I don't
:22:05. > :22:07.want to sound like I'm 52, but I realise now people do not remember
:22:08. > :22:11.nationalisation. They don't remember what it was. They don't remember
:22:12. > :22:19.Soviet communism. They barely remember socialism. I do. We don't
:22:20. > :22:32.want it back. It would be a disaster. Let's spend the next
:22:33. > :22:36.48-hours fighting, fighting, fighting for the moderate One
:22:37. > :22:39.Nation. The assemblith symmetry of that is the strong dynamic economy
:22:40. > :22:44.that pays for fantastic Public Services. That is what we want. It's
:22:45. > :22:49.very simple. I think we'll be put at risk by what over-Ben is proposing
:22:50. > :22:55.to do -- Jeremy Corbyn is proposing to do. I've never seen such a
:22:56. > :23:00.left-wing approach. It would undermine the negotiations and would
:23:01. > :23:07.mean disaster for delivering our Brexit talks. An absolute disaster,
:23:08. > :23:28.many my view, it would lead to the frustration of the people.
:23:29. > :23:35.I'm going to go to Channel 4 now. REPORTER: Why is your Government
:23:36. > :23:39.suppressed and point the finger at the Saudis. Isn't it better to
:23:40. > :23:45.confront them about this rather than cosying unto them? You are making a
:23:46. > :23:48.valid point about the funding and I can't comment on any confidential
:23:49. > :23:58.book but you are making a valid point about the role of the other
:23:59. > :24:04.countries, their Governments or not, in funding wittingly or not, funding
:24:05. > :24:09.groups that may be responsible for terrorism and in funding mosques
:24:10. > :24:15.where all sorts of hate-filled nonsense is being spout and we've
:24:16. > :24:19.got to stop that. We have got to cut the funding for terrorism, just as
:24:20. > :24:22.Theresa May rightly says, we need to stop this stuff being transmitted
:24:23. > :24:26.over the Internet and we need to work with the great Internet
:24:27. > :24:31.companies, principally the American companies, to get them to stop it.
:24:32. > :24:40.But Michael, if I could say, yes we need to focus on that. But that
:24:41. > :24:49.should in no way ex-cull pay the people who have -- ex-cull pay the
:24:50. > :24:53.criminals who've done this terrible atrocities around the world. We need
:24:54. > :24:58.to tackle them with strong security measures of the find that I've
:24:59. > :25:03.described, intensifying the role of our Security Services and looking at
:25:04. > :25:13.longer periods of detention as the Prime Minister has rightly said.
:25:14. > :25:15.Ackle them with strong security measures of the find that I've
:25:16. > :25:18.described, intensifying the role of our Security Services and looking at
:25:19. > :25:20.longer periods of detention as the Prime Minister has rightly said. I
:25:21. > :25:22.won't comment on confidential reports. We have plenty of stuff
:25:23. > :25:26.that we don't publish. I'll dig it out and have a look at it if that's
:25:27. > :25:29.what you would like me to do, Michael, but as far as I know, we do
:25:30. > :25:37.not have a confidential report of the kind that you describe. So yes,
:25:38. > :25:42.you are right to focus on the role of other countries in funding
:25:43. > :25:46.terror, wittingly or unwittingly. Yes you've got to look at all sorts
:25:47. > :25:56.of factors that are helping this problem to breed. But you need a
:25:57. > :26:00.strong and dynamic security response and that cannot be led by somebody
:26:01. > :26:06.who's opposed to shoot-to-kill and a Home Secretary, as I say, and I
