:00:14. > :00:20.Good morning. Thank you very much. Good morning, everybody. Great to be
:00:21. > :00:25.here with you. Thank you all very much for coming. Great to be here in
:00:26. > :00:30.chill done. It is absolutely right that we all decided to continue with
:00:31. > :00:35.this campaign in spite of the appalling events in London. We
:00:36. > :00:40.cannot let our democracy be halted by terrorism. And that is because
:00:41. > :00:45.the decision we face is too important and the decision is about
:00:46. > :00:51.democracy itself. I believe there's only one party at this election and
:00:52. > :00:55.only one potential Prime Minister that is willing to stick up for the
:00:56. > :01:00.democratic will of the British people. And only one party that
:01:01. > :01:04.truly believes in that people and in our ability to make a fantastic
:01:05. > :01:15.future for ourselves. And that is Theresa May and the Conservatives.
:01:16. > :01:20.APPLAUSE Last year this country astounded the world by taking a
:01:21. > :01:24.decision we had delayed for perhaps too long. In the biggest popular
:01:25. > :01:28.mandate delivered ever in our history, the British people voted to
:01:29. > :01:35.leave the European Union. And we voted to take back control of our
:01:36. > :01:38.cash and our borders and, above all, of our law-making system, to put the
:01:39. > :01:42.British people back in the driving seat of their country. To give us
:01:43. > :01:46.the freedom, once again, to negotiate our own trade deals. To
:01:47. > :01:50.take back control of our economic destiny and to build on the
:01:51. > :01:54.extraordinary traditions of that country as a global Britain. A
:01:55. > :02:01.trading nation that looks not just to our friends in Europe but around
:02:02. > :02:08.the world. It is a moment of hope and opportunity. I can assure you
:02:09. > :02:13.that there are plenty of people in Brussels and, indeed, some in this
:02:14. > :02:18.country, who have spent night and day since June 23rd dream, hoping,
:02:19. > :02:23.scheming and plotting that they will be able to reverse that decision. I
:02:24. > :02:28.ask you, do we want them to frustrate the will of the people? Do
:02:29. > :02:32.we want them to overturn our democratic decision of last year? Do
:02:33. > :02:37.we want them to frustrate Brexit? I don't think we do. In the last year,
:02:38. > :02:41.I've seen levers and Remainers across this country coming together
:02:42. > :02:45.overwhelmingly resolved to get it done and to get the best deal in the
:02:46. > :02:53.interests of Britain and the rest of Europe. I'm frayed in Brussels, they
:02:54. > :02:59.don't yet see it that way. There are plenty of people who secretly think
:03:00. > :03:03.they can turn this thing around. Because they've done it before. Look
:03:04. > :03:09.at what happened in France, Denmark, Ireland. I've studied the history of
:03:10. > :03:18.the EU intimately over the last 25 or 30 years or so. Whenever a
:03:19. > :03:24.population is so temerarious as to revolt against the EU system,
:03:25. > :03:29.whenever it is ridden up and takes them further into the architecture
:03:30. > :03:34.of a federal superstart, they find the EU establishment, that great
:03:35. > :03:37.conglomerate of privileged interests somehow require aclousely pervades
:03:38. > :03:41.them to have another go. Have another referendum. This time, come
:03:42. > :03:51.up with the answer that the EU wants.
:03:52. > :03:54.And this time in the UK they have I'm afraid another advantage
:03:55. > :03:58.and that is the Labour Party and a Jeremy Corbyn,
:03:59. > :04:05.the only other possible Prime Minister on Friday and I don't
:04:06. > :04:08.know what Mr Corbyn personally thinks about the EU and I'm not
:04:09. > :04:11.sure which were devoted, but I do know he is in no way
:04:12. > :04:14.in the position to lead this country in the negotiations and they begin
:04:15. > :04:17.an 11 days of Thursday, just imagine the scene in Brussels
:04:18. > :04:21.if Jeremy Corbyn were to mosey in to take his seat
:04:22. > :04:28.opposite Angela Merkel and Jean-Claude Junker,
:04:29. > :04:32.Macron, all of the rest of them, they would look at him
:04:33. > :04:41.Not just because they don't know what his position is that
:04:42. > :04:43.because he doesn't know what he really wants.
:04:44. > :04:50.He doesn't know whether he wants to be in the single market or not.
:04:51. > :05:06.He doesn't know if he wats to be in the customs union or not even no
:05:07. > :05:08.clarity on that is crucial for free trade around the world.
:05:09. > :05:11.He is not even sure he wants to reduce immigration,
:05:12. > :05:14.even though you would think that is a key advantage of taking
:05:15. > :05:22.As for taking back control of our cash, can you imagine
:05:23. > :05:27.Jeremy Corbyn having the grip and the determination to take back
:05:28. > :05:34.control of the ?20 billion gross that we said to Brussels every year,
:05:35. > :05:36.do you think he has the firmness of purpose to do it,
:05:37. > :05:39.who sends out a signal to all would-be terrorists that he
:05:40. > :05:47.Even when those terrorists are threatening unarmed civilians,
:05:48. > :05:53.a guy who pre-emptively informs any power to engage in nuclear blackmail
:05:54. > :05:57.that as our Prime Minister he would not under any circumstances
:05:58. > :06:03.deploy Trident, so making a nonsense of our nuclear deterrent.
:06:04. > :06:08.For 30 years, he has been soft and muddleheaded on terror,
:06:09. > :06:23.he has taken the side of just about every anniversary this country
:06:24. > :06:33.From the IRA to Hamas, from Soviet communism
:06:34. > :06:36.to General Galtieri and of course I don't mean to compare our European
:06:37. > :06:39.friends to any of those people but it is psychologically impossible
:06:40. > :06:42.to imagine him having the firmness to get the right Brexit deal.
:06:43. > :06:49.A Corbyn negotiating team would arrive like a family
:06:50. > :06:53.of herbivores arriving at the water hole of lions, they would be
:06:54. > :07:03.It is worse than that, his negotiating team would not just
:07:04. > :07:05.consist of the Labour Party, that group of ex-loonie
:07:06. > :07:13.London left that have captured the Labour Party...
:07:14. > :07:20.We know he couldn't govern by himself and would go
:07:21. > :07:32.in a coalition said he would would appear in Brussels as a monster
:07:33. > :07:37.with Nicola Sturgeon jabbering on anD Tim Farron going telling him
:07:38. > :07:49.to do what Brussels wants because both are 100% committed
:07:50. > :08:05.How on earth word Corbyn be able to construct a negotiating position
:08:06. > :08:08.with that pair on his back, how could he get
:08:09. > :08:10.it done, the answer is he couldn't and he wouldn't.
:08:11. > :08:13.The answer on Brexit would dissolve into a puddle of incoherence.
:08:14. > :08:24.There is only one person who has the resolve to get this done and get
:08:25. > :08:32.this done well and that is Theresa May.
:08:33. > :08:36.out her visions that was instantly understood around Europe,
:08:37. > :08:43.taking back control of money, our borders, our laws,
:08:44. > :08:49.fulfilling the mandate of the British people and leaving
:08:50. > :08:55.the federalising legal order of the EU but not leaving Europe.
:08:56. > :09:03.We want to build a special partnership, a strong Britain
:09:04. > :09:05.and a strong EU connected by a frictionless
:09:06. > :09:16.There is so much we can do together and we will continue.
:09:17. > :09:33.We Conservatives took Britain into what was called
:09:34. > :09:35.the Common Market, not because we loved
:09:36. > :09:48.sovereignty, we were always anxious about that but because we have been
:09:49. > :09:50.true internationalists, it felt as if being international
:09:51. > :10:02.fell like being in it's time to look towards a horizon and it is our
:10:03. > :10:05.country's destiny to engage our friends and partners
:10:06. > :10:08.that have the whole of the rest of the 93% of humanity that does not
:10:09. > :10:24.If we are to make most of that opportunity then removed the right
:10:25. > :10:28.If we are to make most of that opportunity then we need the right
:10:29. > :10:31.policies and it makes me shudder to think that we could seriously be
:10:32. > :10:33.about to elect a Corbyn-led administration that would put
:10:34. > :10:39.destructive tax on businesses and homes at the very moment
:10:40. > :10:47.when we should be about to go forward with a great new global
:10:48. > :10:56.Britain, Jeremy Corbyn take us back the 1970s
:10:57. > :10:57.complet with the loony left and union control.
:10:58. > :11:01.This is the moment to believe in the potential of Brexit Britain,
:11:02. > :11:04.we have so much to be proud of in this country, so many ways
:11:05. > :11:10.we knock spots off our competitors, not just in Europe but around
:11:11. > :11:16.the world, we lead the way in so many areas of enterprise.
:11:17. > :11:17.It's a fantastic country, we are no slouch is that
:11:18. > :11:18.manufacturers, there is a factory here in the north-east that produces
:11:19. > :11:21.more cars than some G-7 countries which I will not name
:11:22. > :11:34.We are making colossal investments, more than at any time in the last
:11:35. > :11:37.century, taking it forward, new clean power, high speed rail,
:11:38. > :11:41.new battery technologies, we are transforming
:11:42. > :11:47.the opportunities of our kids in our educational systems,
:11:48. > :11:48.creating the bedrock, the bedrock of investments,
:11:49. > :11:52.public investment on which business can flourish and grow
:11:53. > :11:59.because we are utterly unlike Jeremy Corbyn in this crucial
:12:00. > :12:02.respect in that we understand the importance of business.
:12:03. > :12:06.Not just in producing the innovation that improves our lives
:12:07. > :12:12.and environment but producing the tax revenues that enable us
:12:13. > :12:29.A strong NHS, great schools and great infrastructure.
:12:30. > :12:38.That is the symmetry at the heart of our one nation Conservativism.
:12:39. > :12:44.Great public services, a culture made possible by public services.
:12:45. > :12:59.Many have forecast that the UK will become the most powerful
:13:00. > :13:09.economy bar none in Europe, in the whole of the European
:13:10. > :13:11.continent, and of course we have challenges but we can
:13:12. > :13:16.We are a fantastic country and we can get it right,
:13:17. > :13:19.we can make a huge success of Brexit and the global role and identity
:13:20. > :13:29.But we can only do it if we back ourselves and if we're
:13:30. > :13:38.It is absolutely vital that we elect a government
:13:39. > :13:46.that will negotiate with courage, determinism and optimism,
:13:47. > :14:04.Friends we have a couple of days to get this right,
:14:05. > :14:12.Have been out pounding the streets. Busy in this rain this morning to
:14:13. > :14:17.make sure we get elected here in Newcastle in Stoke-on-Trent. Our
:14:18. > :14:26.candidates. We have Owen Meredith from Newcastle. We have Dan from
:14:27. > :14:32.stroke on Trent Central. We've got... INAUDIBLE
:14:33. > :14:38.And Ben Adams from Stoke-on-Trent North. They are all excellent local
:14:39. > :14:46.candidates and they all deserve your vote. The reason they deserve your
:14:47. > :14:47.vote in two days' time is because we face the most important
