:00:07. > :00:35.Thank you very much everybody, it's great to be here in the West
:00:36. > :00:40.Midlands and great to be here in Wolverhampton.
:00:41. > :00:45.I wonder how many of you saw the TV debate last night. I have to say, I
:00:46. > :00:50.thought Jeremy was an impressive performer and a tough adversary.
:00:51. > :00:55.Well prepared, on top of his brief, knew the party inside out,
:00:56. > :01:06.consistent of the last, he never gave up. Jeremy Paxton definitely...
:01:07. > :01:10.LAUGHTER The strange thing about election campaigns is you don't
:01:11. > :01:15.often get to see your opponent close up but last night I did. I saw
:01:16. > :01:20.Jeremy Corbyn close-up on television and what I saw those revealing.
:01:21. > :01:24.Despite being a member of Parliament to 34 years and being the leader of
:01:25. > :01:29.the Labour Party for the last two years, he is simply not ready to
:01:30. > :01:33.govern and not prepared to lead. He's not prepared to use the nuclear
:01:34. > :01:37.deterrent, not prepared to take action against terrorists, not
:01:38. > :01:56.prepared to give the police powers they need to keep us safe. He's not
:01:57. > :02:00.prepared to to take a single difficult decision for the good of
:02:01. > :02:02.our economy. He is not prepared to answer questions about his long
:02:03. > :02:04.track record of supporting people who want to harm and even attack our
:02:05. > :02:07.country. And with the Brexit negotiations due to begin only 11
:02:08. > :02:12.days after polling day, he's not prepared for those negotiations. But
:02:13. > :02:17.I am prepared. Prepared to take the difficult decisions that leadership
:02:18. > :02:22.demands. Prepared to do what is necessary to protect and defend our
:02:23. > :02:26.country. Prepared to go into the negotiating chamber with the
:02:27. > :02:33.European Union is just 11 days after polling day. I am prepared, I'm
:02:34. > :02:39.ready to go. Jeremy Corbyn is not. Because last night confirmed that
:02:40. > :02:44.only one of us has the determination to deliver the will of the people
:02:45. > :02:52.and make Brexit happen, and only one of us has the planned to make Brexit
:02:53. > :02:56.a success. Last night showed that Jeremy Corbyn's minders can put him
:02:57. > :03:00.in a smart blue suit for an interview with Jeremy Paxman, but
:03:01. > :03:04.with his position on Brexit he will find himself alone and naked in the
:03:05. > :03:13.negotiating chamber of the European Union. I know that's an image that
:03:14. > :03:21.doesn't bear thinking about... LAUGHTER But actually this is very
:03:22. > :03:26.serious. We are approaching the end of a long campaign, but it is
:03:27. > :03:29.crucial that everybody remembers this important fact. Britain is
:03:30. > :03:35.about to enter into the most important negotiations of my
:03:36. > :03:39.lifetime. They begin just 11 days after polling day, and the European
:03:40. > :03:45.Union is already adopting an aggressive negotiating position.
:03:46. > :03:49.That's why now more than ever Britain needs a strong government
:03:50. > :03:55.and a strong Prime Minister is capable of standing up to Brussels.
:03:56. > :04:00.Your vote is more important than ever because every vote for me in
:04:01. > :04:05.this election will, if I'm returned as Prime Minister, strengthen my
:04:06. > :04:10.hand in the negotiations that are about to start. But if you don't
:04:11. > :04:15.vote at this election, and if you don't vote for me in this election,
:04:16. > :04:21.you risk sleepwalking into the very real danger that Jeremy Corbyn will
:04:22. > :04:26.find himself in the hot seat, in the negotiating chair on your behalf. I
:04:27. > :04:31.only have to lose succeeds in this election for that to happen, and the
:04:32. > :04:39.consequences for Britain if that did happen would be dire. A week and on
:04:40. > :04:44.stable Prime Minister propped up by the Liberal Democrats and the SNP.
:04:45. > :04:47.The coalition of chaos is unable to get the best deal for Britain,
:04:48. > :04:56.consisting of political parties who disagree with Brexit and want to
:04:57. > :05:00.unpick the referendum result. Don't let them make a mess of these
:05:01. > :05:06.negotiations, don't sleepwalk into that danger. Because what last
:05:07. > :05:13.night's television debate brought home in Technicolor was that only we
:05:14. > :05:18.have the will and the plan to make a success of Brexit. But it's
:05:19. > :05:22.important too to understand that the referendum was not just a vote to
:05:23. > :05:27.leave the European Union, it was also a vote to change the way the
:05:28. > :05:34.country works and the people for whom it works for ever. It was a
:05:35. > :05:39.quiet revolution, driven by all those who felt let down and left
:05:40. > :05:42.behind for too long. A revolution in which millions of our fellow
:05:43. > :05:47.citizens stood up and said they were not prepared to be ignored any more.
:05:48. > :05:51.That's why since the first day I stepped through the door of Number
:05:52. > :05:55.Ten as Prime Minister, I have been clear that the mission of the
:05:56. > :06:00.Government side lead is not just to get the best deal for Britain in
:06:01. > :06:06.Europe, but to shift the balance in Britain in favour of ordinary
:06:07. > :06:11.working people here at home too. To fight for all those for whom life is
:06:12. > :06:16.more difficult than many seem to think or realise. Those who are just
:06:17. > :06:20.about managing to get by, people who are working around the clock giving
:06:21. > :06:26.of the best but for whom life is still too often struggle. They don't
:06:27. > :06:31.ask for much, they just want to get on with their lives and be able to
:06:32. > :06:35.do their best for their children. Above all they just want to be given
:06:36. > :06:40.a fair chance, because for too long, for too many people, life has not
:06:41. > :06:47.seemed fair. If you can't afford to get onto the property ladder or your
:06:48. > :06:51.child is stuck in a bad school. If you are one of the ordinary people
:06:52. > :06:55.who made sacrifices after the financial crash but see no evidence
:06:56. > :06:59.that the people better off than you did the same. If you are one of
:07:00. > :07:04.those people who lost their job, who stayed in work but on reduced hours,
:07:05. > :07:09.took a pay cut as household bills rocketed, or someone who finds
:07:10. > :07:13.themselves out of work because of low skilled immigration. Above all,
:07:14. > :07:18.if you have been trying to say things need to change for years and
:07:19. > :07:24.your complaints fall on deaf ears, if you're patria to some is deemed
:07:25. > :07:29.somehow distasteful, your concerns about immigration dismissed as
:07:30. > :07:33.parochial. Your desire for your country to make the decisions that
:07:34. > :07:35.matter to Britain here in Britain ridiculed and ignored for too long.
:07:36. > :07:49.Life simply doesn't seem fair. My plan response to the British
:07:50. > :07:54.people's decision to leave the and it aims to shape a brighter and
:07:55. > :07:59.their future of our country. A future in which everyone in every
:08:00. > :08:05.part of this United Kingdom will enjoy their share. It will back
:08:06. > :08:10.those who want to work hard by helping businesses create more and
:08:11. > :08:14.better paid jobs with new rights and protections for workers. It will
:08:15. > :08:16.help more people have a home of their own by building more
:08:17. > :08:21.affordable houses and tackle the cost of living by capping rip-off
:08:22. > :08:28.energy tariffs and keeping taxes low. My plan will make sure every
:08:29. > :08:32.child gets the best start in life by increasing school funding every
:08:33. > :08:36.year, provide real technical lead a quiche and for young people for the
:08:37. > :08:41.first time and increase the NHS budget every year to ensure every
:08:42. > :08:45.family has the care they need and we can pay for and provide care for the
:08:46. > :08:52.elderly. And it will protect our national security and defences by
:08:53. > :08:57.fighting terrorism and taking effective action against extremists.
:08:58. > :09:02.It is a plan to make Britain's stronger, fairer and more prosperous
:09:03. > :09:07.and to put government at the service of ordinary working people. So if
:09:08. > :09:12.you have a job that but don't always have job security we will be backing
:09:13. > :09:16.you. If you own your home but worry about paying mortgage we will be
:09:17. > :09:19.backing you. If you can just about manage but worry about the cost of
:09:20. > :09:24.living and getting your children into a good school we will be
:09:25. > :09:28.backing you. If you just want to get on with your life to do your best
:09:29. > :09:33.for your children and be given a fair chance to get on we will be
:09:34. > :09:40.backing you. Because the government I lead will be the government at the
:09:41. > :09:47.service of ordinary working people. That all of this depends on one
:09:48. > :09:51.thing. Getting Brexit right. That is what is truly at the heart of this
:09:52. > :09:58.election campaign. That is the one fundamental defining issue, the
:09:59. > :10:02.choice upon which everything else will depend. The terms of the Brexit
:10:03. > :10:06.deal we negotiate with the EU and the course we charted beers
:10:07. > :10:13.afterwards truly will define our country for generations to come. Our
:10:14. > :10:19.place in the world, our economic security, the vital public services
:10:20. > :10:23.upon which we will rely, our future prosperity, everything depends on
:10:24. > :10:29.and will be defined by the outcome of these next five years. If we
:10:30. > :10:33.don't make a success of the next five years our economic prosperity
:10:34. > :10:37.will suffer, jobs and livelihoods will be put at risk and with them
:10:38. > :10:43.the security and peace of mind of working families. If we don't make a
:10:44. > :10:48.success of Brexit we won't have the financial means to fund the public
:10:49. > :10:54.services in which we will rely. Our NHS, the institution which is their
:10:55. > :10:58.first at the most difficult times. It needs is to make a success of
:10:59. > :11:02.Brexit to make sure we can afford to provide it with the resources it
:11:03. > :11:07.needs in the future. Every school in every village, town or city needs is
:11:08. > :11:10.to make a success of Brexit. If we want to continue to provide a
:11:11. > :11:16.sustainable welfare system with help targeted at those whom needed most
:11:17. > :11:20.we need to meet success of Brexit. If we want to invest in transport
:11:21. > :11:23.infrastructure, our roads and bridges and railways, we need to
:11:24. > :11:29.make a success of Brexit. If we want to continue our dash to play or part
:11:30. > :11:33.on the world stage, standing up for our liberal values with strong
:11:34. > :11:41.defences to protect this we need to make a success of Brexit. Everything
:11:42. > :11:45.depends on getting Brexit right. So the central question in this
:11:46. > :11:52.election is who has the will and crucially the plan to make a success
:11:53. > :11:56.of Brexit? So that we can build the stronger and more prosperous Britain
:11:57. > :12:04.we want and need. And on that central question I believe there is
:12:05. > :12:08.only one choice. Because I am clear about the instruction I have been
:12:09. > :12:13.given, clear about what needs to be done and ready to get on with the
:12:14. > :12:18.job on day one. Jeremy Corbyn does not have the belief, the will or the
:12:19. > :12:23.plan to deliver Brexit and he doesn't have the strength to do so
:12:24. > :12:26.either. The only way he can get into number ten is by doing a deal with
:12:27. > :12:31.the Scottish Nationalists and the Lib Dems who do not believe in
:12:32. > :12:37.Brexit and who don't want it to succeed. We know this and the rest
:12:38. > :12:43.of Europe knows it as well. They also know that a weak government in
:12:44. > :12:48.a hung parliament here at home would be able to stand up for Britain in
:12:49. > :12:51.Europe. They know British Government that has to give in to other
:12:52. > :12:54.political parties so it can just hold onto power will be weak abroad
:12:55. > :13:02.because it will be compromised at home. You don't negotiate the right
:13:03. > :13:07.deal for Britain from the position of weakness. You do it from a
:13:08. > :13:11.position of strength with a Prime Minister 100% committed to the cause
:13:12. > :13:18.and a strong majority government with a clear plan to see it through.
:13:19. > :13:21.You can't negotiate the right Brexit deal if you don't have confidence in
:13:22. > :13:27.our strengths and in all that we have to offer either. You can only
:13:28. > :13:33.deliver for Britain if you believe in Britain and I do. That is why I
:13:34. > :13:39.have been cleared about my plan for Brexit at every stage. I said I
:13:40. > :13:42.would trigger Article 50 before the end of March and they did. I said I
:13:43. > :13:48.would set up my negotiating objectives before I did so and I
:13:49. > :13:52.have. I said we would take back control of our borders and our money
:13:53. > :13:57.and our laws and we will. And I have set out a clear and ambitious plan
:13:58. > :14:02.for the negotiations ahead. It is a plan for a new deep and special
:14:03. > :14:09.partnership between Britain and Europe. A partnership of interests
:14:10. > :14:13.and values, partnership based on Corporation in areas such as
:14:14. > :14:18.security and economic affairs and at the heart of that plan are 12
:14:19. > :14:21.negotiating objectives that will guide us in the months ahead. We
:14:22. > :14:26.will deliver certainty whenever possible so that everyone has as
:14:27. > :14:31.much clarity as we can provide as we move through the process. As part of
:14:32. > :14:37.that we have published a White Paper confirming our plans to convert what
:14:38. > :14:40.is called their new key into British law so that everyone has a certainty
:14:41. > :14:45.they need. At the same time I have been clear that the government I
:14:46. > :14:50.lead will put the final deal between the UK and the EU to in both Houses
:14:51. > :14:57.of Parliament before it comes into force. We will take control of our
:14:58. > :15:01.own laws and bring an end to the jurisdiction of the European Court
:15:02. > :15:04.of Justice in Britain. Leaving the European Union will mean our laws
:15:05. > :15:08.will be made in Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast and
:15:09. > :15:15.those laws will be interpreted by judges but in Luxembourg that in
:15:16. > :15:21.courts across this country. We will strengthen the union of the four
:15:22. > :15:24.nations that comprise our United Kingdom. We will negotiate as one
:15:25. > :15:31.United Kingdom, taking into account the specific interests of every
:15:32. > :15:34.nation of the UK. And we expect the devolved administrations in
:15:35. > :15:38.Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to see a significant interest in the
:15:39. > :15:43.decision-making power at the end of the Brexit process. We want to make
:15:44. > :15:50.-- maintain the Common travel area with the Republic of Ireland. We
:15:51. > :15:54.will control immigration so that we continue to attract the brightest
:15:55. > :15:59.and the best but manage the process properly so that our immigration
:16:00. > :16:03.system serves the national interest. We seek to guarantee the rights of
:16:04. > :16:06.EU a sense who are already living in Britain and the rights of British
:16:07. > :16:13.nationals in other member states as early as we can. I set that I very
:16:14. > :16:19.clearly in the letter I sent to President tusk in March. But I am
:16:20. > :16:23.clear that this must be a reciprocal arrangement because it's my primary
:16:24. > :16:30.job as Prime Minister to protect the rights and interests of this United
:16:31. > :16:37.Kingdom. We will ensure that workers' rights are fully protected
:16:38. > :16:43.and maintained. Not only will the government protect the rights of
:16:44. > :16:47.workers, we will build on them. We will pursue a bold and ambitious
:16:48. > :16:52.far-reaching agreement with the EU that allows for the freest possible
:16:53. > :16:57.trade in goods and services between Britain and the EU's member states.
:16:58. > :17:02.That gives British companies the maximum freedom to trade with and
:17:03. > :17:06.operate within European markets and less European businesses do the same
:17:07. > :17:11.in Britain. But we will not be members of the single market because
:17:12. > :17:15.that would mean accepting the freedoms of the European union
:17:16. > :17:19.considers sacrosanct including the free movement of people that means
:17:20. > :17:27.he would not be able to control our borders. Membership of the single
:17:28. > :17:32.market is incompatible with the democratically expressed will of the
:17:33. > :17:36.British people so our membership will end but we will continue to
:17:37. > :17:42.pursue the freest possible trade in goods and services in the interests
:17:43. > :17:44.of both Britain and the EU. We are going to make sure that we can
:17:45. > :17:50.strike trade agreements with countries from outside the European
:17:51. > :17:58.Union because important to our trade with the ways and will remain, it is
:17:59. > :18:01.clear that the UK needs to increase significantly its trade with the
:18:02. > :18:05.fastest growing markets in the world. We will continue to
:18:06. > :18:09.collaborate with our European partners in the years of science,
:18:10. > :18:13.education, research and technology so that the UK is one of the best
:18:14. > :18:18.places for science and innovation. We will continue to cooperate in
:18:19. > :18:24.important areas such as crime, terrorism and foreign affairs and
:18:25. > :18:29.with a clear plan and strong leadership we will deliver a smooth
:18:30. > :18:32.and orderly Brexit, delivering the will of the British people while
:18:33. > :18:37.minimising disruption to our economic security. That is my plan
:18:38. > :18:43.for Brexit. 12 objectives that amount to one big goal. I knew the
:18:44. > :18:46.band special partnership with the European Union that returns control
:18:47. > :18:52.to Britain and allows us to stand tall in the world once again. That
:18:53. > :19:00.is the clear and credible approach of a strong and stable government.
:19:01. > :19:04.Just compare it to the alternative. Because the truth is that Jeremy
:19:05. > :19:07.Corbyn has no plan for Brexit at all and when you think about it that is
:19:08. > :19:13.incredible. The Brexit negotiations will begin just 11 days after the
:19:14. > :19:18.election. They will be no time to waste, no way of stalling, now way
:19:19. > :19:22.of asking Europe to hang on while we figure out what we want to do. The
:19:23. > :19:28.Europeans are ready to go and are determined to fight for a deal that
:19:29. > :19:32.works for them. This is no time through weak government and a weak
:19:33. > :19:36.leader today making it up as they go along and particularly not when that
:19:37. > :19:41.leader has shown poor judgment and weak leadership throughout the
:19:42. > :19:46.process so far. Let's remember that on the day the referendum result was
:19:47. > :19:50.declared Jeremy Corbyn thought we should trigger Article 50
:19:51. > :19:55.straightaway. That reckless misjudgement would have immediately
:19:56. > :19:59.handed the Europeans the advantage in the negotiations and seriously
:20:00. > :20:03.curtailed the time we had to formally to loan negotiation
:20:04. > :20:10.position. It would have cost our country dear. Let's remember that
:20:11. > :20:16.while my team and I have put in the work to develop a coherent plan over
:20:17. > :20:19.the last ten months Jeremy Corbyn has lurched chaotically from half
:20:20. > :20:25.baked plan to half baked plan. He has had seven different Brexit plans
:20:26. > :20:30.in the space of nine months, none of which added up to a coherent vision
:20:31. > :20:34.for our country. And let's remember on the central issue what kind of
:20:35. > :20:40.relationship the UK should have with the single market, Jeremy Corbyn
:20:41. > :20:44.still cannot save a certain way he stands. He says he once to keep the
:20:45. > :20:47.benefits of the single market but without saying how that will be
:20:48. > :20:51.achieved or how it fits with ending the free movement of people. Let's
:20:52. > :20:57.remember what we do know about his approach. With the negotiations due
:20:58. > :21:02.to begin just 11 days after the election the first thing Jeremy
:21:03. > :21:06.Corbyn would do is scrap the plan for Brexit we set out in our White
:21:07. > :21:11.Paper and start all over again. Leaving the UK naked in the
:21:12. > :21:16.negotiating chamber. With negotiations about to begin the next
:21:17. > :21:22.thing he would do is drop our Great Repeal Bill that offers the
:21:23. > :21:26.certainty of the country needs. Yet he has no plan to replace it. With
:21:27. > :21:33.the negotiations about to start his priority would be to reject the no
:21:34. > :21:36.deal as an option for Britain. The consequences of that are simple. It
:21:37. > :21:43.means being willing to accept any deal however bad, signing up to any
:21:44. > :21:50.bill however vast, accepting any terms however unreasonable. It means
:21:51. > :21:58.signing up to Britain being given by EU laws for you to come so that we
:21:59. > :22:02.have no control over our laws. To free movement continuing
:22:03. > :22:08.indefinitely and paying whatever your bosses to pay so we have no
:22:09. > :22:12.control over our money either. As always with Jeremy Corbyn and labour
:22:13. > :22:19.the shambles and responsibility would be this but the consequences
:22:20. > :22:23.and the bill would be ours. So the prospect of him and his political
:22:24. > :22:25.associates leading our country into the Brexit associations should worry
:22:26. > :22:40.us all. That's why a vote for Labour the
:22:41. > :22:45.Liberal Democrats or SNP is a risk too big to take. In an age of shock
:22:46. > :22:51.election results, and minor parties queueing up to do a deal with Jeremy
:22:52. > :22:56.Corbyn, that risk is Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister in a hung
:22:57. > :23:01.parliament in ten days' time. If that were to happen then, just as we
:23:02. > :23:07.need to be at our strongest, our government would be in chaos. Jeremy
:23:08. > :23:11.Corbyn would be in Number Ten, John McDonnell would be in the Treasury
:23:12. > :23:17.and Diane Abbott would be in the Home Office. Just as we should be
:23:18. > :23:20.negotiating a deal for Britain in Europe, Jeremy Corbyn would be
:23:21. > :23:24.stitching up a deal with Nicola Sturgeon and the Liberal Democrats,
:23:25. > :23:33.a deal that means they would be pulling the strings. Just 11 days
:23:34. > :23:39.after polling day the Brexit negotiations begin. Yesterday the
:23:40. > :23:49.European Commission showed the importance of who you choose to face
:23:50. > :23:53.them, they are strong opposition. Jeremy Corbyn has no plan to deliver
:23:54. > :23:59.Brexit and has already admitted he would give control of our borders
:24:00. > :24:03.and laws back to Brussels. But if I lose just six seats, Jeremy Corbyn
:24:04. > :24:07.could become Prime Minister at the head of a coalition of chaos with
:24:08. > :24:12.the parties still arguing among themselves rather than negotiating
:24:13. > :24:16.for Britain when the Brexit negotiations begin just those 11
:24:17. > :24:21.days after polling day. So as we get back to focusing on the task in
:24:22. > :24:26.hand, and turn towards the home straight in this campaign, this is
:24:27. > :24:30.the time to choose. If you don't want Jeremy Corbyn to be Prime
:24:31. > :24:35.Minister of this country, if you don't believe he's equipped to
:24:36. > :24:41.negotiate Brexit, keep our economy strong or our nation secure, there
:24:42. > :24:44.is no safe way to vote Labour wherever you live. There is only one
:24:45. > :24:48.party in this election that respects the people's decision and is
:24:49. > :24:52.passionate about delivering on it. One party that can provide the
:24:53. > :24:58.strong majority government the country needs to see Brexit through.
:24:59. > :25:04.Every vote for me and my local candidates in this election will
:25:05. > :25:07.strengthen my hand when I negotiate for Britain in Europe. Every vote
:25:08. > :25:13.for me and my local candidates will be a vote for five years of strong
:25:14. > :25:17.and stable leadership to see us through Brexit and beyond. Every
:25:18. > :25:20.vote for me and my local candidates will be a vote for strong and stable
:25:21. > :25:25.leadership in the national interest, leadership that's ready to get the
:25:26. > :25:29.right deal for Britain abroad and a better deal for ordinary working
:25:30. > :25:35.people at home. Leadership that's ready to make the most of the
:25:36. > :25:39.opportunity ahead to build a stronger, fairer, better Britain.
:25:40. > :25:55.Thank you. APPLAUSE
:25:56. > :26:22.Thank you very much, thank you. Now I see we have some members of the
:26:23. > :26:26.media here. Laura. Prime Minister, election campaigns test our leaders,
:26:27. > :26:32.don't they? Isn't the emerging truth of this campaign that it's showing
:26:33. > :26:37.you as a leader to be weaker rather than stronger? Don't you think the
:26:38. > :26:40.voters want more from you then attacks on Jeremy Corbyn and reheat
:26:41. > :26:46.of the speech you made when you moved into Number Ten? Strong and
:26:47. > :26:50.stable leadership is about being open with the British people about
:26:51. > :26:55.the challenges we face and that's what we have done in the manifesto
:26:56. > :26:59.we have set out. Strong and stable leadership is about being open about
:27:00. > :27:02.the hard choices that lie ahead in order to build that stronger
:27:03. > :27:06.Britain, and strong and stable leadership is about having a plan to
:27:07. > :27:13.take into those Brexit negotiations and a plan to take Britain beyond
:27:14. > :27:17.those negotiations and build that stronger, fairer country. That's
:27:18. > :27:30.what I have and that's why I have strong and stable leadership.
:27:31. > :27:36.APPLAUSE Beth. Prime Minister, you say you will be
:27:37. > :27:40.a difficult woman when it comes to the Brexit negotiations but isn't it
:27:41. > :27:46.true you have also had a difficult election of your social care policy?
:27:47. > :27:51.It has worried voters and polling suggests female voters are turning
:27:52. > :27:59.away from you. Are you a female Prime Minister with a woman problem?
:28:00. > :28:04.Let's be clear about what we are doing in relation to social care.
:28:05. > :28:08.Right now if you look at the situation for social care, if you
:28:09. > :28:12.have more than ?23,000 of savings you pay for your care and if its
:28:13. > :28:18.residential care your house is taken into account. So what we see is
:28:19. > :28:23.people paying for their care, many people finding they have to sell
:28:24. > :28:26.their house in order to pay that bill, and some people seeing that
:28:27. > :28:32.what they have built up over their lives is virtually wiped out
:28:33. > :28:35.altogether. What we as a party are proposing on social care reduces and
:28:36. > :28:40.takes away those risks because what we are saying to people is you won't
:28:41. > :28:45.have to sell your home in your lifetime to pay for those care
:28:46. > :28:51.bills. You will be able to quadruple the level of savings you can have
:28:52. > :28:56.and keep to pass on to your families to ?100,000, and we will have a cap
:28:57. > :29:02.on the absolute amount people pay for care. But crucially this is a
:29:03. > :29:05.social care policy that ensures we have a long-term, stable social and
:29:06. > :29:10.sustainable social care system in this country, and a policy that is
:29:11. > :29:19.fair across the generations. Gary?
:29:20. > :29:23.APPLAUSE You said again last night that no deal is better than a bad
:29:24. > :29:27.deal. Do you disagree with the experts
:29:28. > :29:33.that say actually no deal would mean increased tariffs, perhaps all
:29:34. > :29:37.sectors of the British economy that couldn't export to Europe because
:29:38. > :29:43.they didn't fit the guidelines? Maybe the plane is not being able to
:29:44. > :29:46.fly to Europe. The possibility of a serious recession. What on earth
:29:47. > :29:52.could be anything other than catastrophic for just about managing
:29:53. > :29:56.families than that? I do believe no deal would be better than a bad
:29:57. > :30:00.deal, and let's look at what a bad deal would be. You have people in
:30:01. > :30:04.Europe who want to punish the UK and I think the implications of that
:30:05. > :30:08.would be a bad deal, and you have people here in the UK in other
:30:09. > :30:13.political parties who seem willing to give anything away to get a deal
:30:14. > :30:21.whatever it is, and that would be bad for the UK. I think what we have
:30:22. > :30:24.seen today from Jeremy Corbyn is that he would be willing to do a
:30:25. > :30:28.deal at any price. He wants to get the worst deal for Britain at the
:30:29. > :30:33.highest possible price. That's not what we are about, I'm about going
:30:34. > :30:44.in there and fighting for Britain, getting the best possible deal,
:30:45. > :30:49.making a success of Brexit. Isn't it the truth that you are so worried
:30:50. > :30:53.about recent polls and the fall out from your manifesto launch that you
:30:54. > :31:00.are resorting to scaring voters about Brexit negotiations in order
:31:01. > :31:06.to get the vote? What I'm doing is actually setting out what the
:31:07. > :31:11.position is for this country. The position for this country is that 11
:31:12. > :31:15.days after election day. The Prime Minister who has been elected on
:31:16. > :31:22.June the apes will have to go into those negotiations with the European
:31:23. > :31:26.Union -- on June the 8th. We need to be ready for those negotiations, we
:31:27. > :31:29.need to have the strength to going to those negotiations and we need to
:31:30. > :31:35.be able to fight up and stand for Britain in those negotiations. I
:31:36. > :31:40.have the plant, the will and the determination to do that. It would
:31:41. > :31:44.only be 11 days after polling day. The Prime Minister has to be
:31:45. > :31:53.prepared. I am prepared, nobody else is.
:31:54. > :31:56.APPLAUSE. You say you want to build
:31:57. > :32:01.partnerships with European allies but Angela Merkel said at the
:32:02. > :32:06.weekend Europe can no longer rely on Britain as an ally. What is your
:32:07. > :32:11.response to that and do you think it is fair? Labour have described you
:32:12. > :32:19.as an ogre when it comes to negotiating Brexit, is that a badge
:32:20. > :32:29.of honour? Who described me as a no-go? INAUDIBLE.
:32:30. > :32:33.We want to build that partnership because we are leaving the EU but we
:32:34. > :32:39.are not leaving Europe and we will be able to cooperate on issues like
:32:40. > :32:44.security and defence because that is important for us all. Last week I
:32:45. > :32:48.was with Angela Merkel and others at the Nato leaders meeting where we
:32:49. > :32:53.were showing support for each of the together with the United States and
:32:54. > :32:59.others to protect our security. Nato has been the bedrock of UK defence.
:33:00. > :33:05.The next day at the G7 we were together, Angela Merkel and myself
:33:06. > :33:10.and others making us statement about our collective commitment to work
:33:11. > :33:15.together to deal with extremism, extremism that can fuel the
:33:16. > :33:18.terrorism that leads to the horrific attacks that sadly we have suffered
:33:19. > :33:28.from only to recently in this country. John Stevens from The Mail.
:33:29. > :33:31.Are you disappointed by the way British Airways handled its IT
:33:32. > :33:39.crisis at the weekend and do you think the airline is still worthy of
:33:40. > :33:45.being the country's flag carrier? The crisis that hit British Airways
:33:46. > :33:50.is predominantly a matter for British airways. I acknowledge the
:33:51. > :33:53.problems it caused to all the individuals hoping to get away for
:33:54. > :34:00.the break and found themselves unable to travel. I think we all
:34:01. > :34:06.feel for those people, and it is important that of course British
:34:07. > :34:11.Airways has a compensation scheme, but it is up to them to sort out the
:34:12. > :34:13.IT and ensure they are able to provide the services people expect
:34:14. > :34:27.them to provide as British Airways. And you're increasingly personal
:34:28. > :34:36.attacks on Jeremy Corbyn and this image of him naked in a negotiating
:34:37. > :34:39.room in Brussels a sign of your increasing desperation? No, if you
:34:40. > :34:44.look at what I have been saying throughout this election, there is
:34:45. > :34:49.one very simple message which has been the same from the beginning and
:34:50. > :34:54.the same now, that when people go to vote on June the 8th they have a
:34:55. > :34:59.simple choice to make. There is only one of two people who will be Prime
:35:00. > :35:04.Minister after this election, either me or Jeremy Corbyn and that Prime
:35:05. > :35:08.Minister 11 days afterwards has to start those Brexit negotiations so
:35:09. > :35:12.people have to make a choice as to who they think has the leadership
:35:13. > :35:22.and strong government to do that and to get the best possible deal for
:35:23. > :35:28.Britain. As I have said before, strong and stable leadership working
:35:29. > :35:31.to get the best deal in Europe or a coalition of chaos propped up by the
:35:32. > :35:38.Liberal Democrats and Scottish Nationalists.
:35:39. > :35:44.APPLAUSE I will just take these last two.
:35:45. > :35:47.Prime Minister, you have said everything depends on getting Brexit
:35:48. > :35:51.right but you spent the last few weeks on the campaign trail rather
:35:52. > :35:55.than preparing for the negotiations so how much time have you been able
:35:56. > :36:00.to spend getting ready for the talks and what do you say to those who say
:36:01. > :36:05.it was irresponsible to call an election so close to the
:36:06. > :36:10.negotiations? I called this election because I saw the other parties were
:36:11. > :36:14.intent on trying to disrupt our negotiations and if you look at what
:36:15. > :36:19.we hear from the other parties, the policies they are talking about, a
:36:20. > :36:22.free movement to continue, allowing the European Court of Justice to
:36:23. > :36:28.continue having that dream it over laws in the UK, or wanting to have a
:36:29. > :36:31.second referendum which is what the Liberal Democrats want on whether we
:36:32. > :36:35.should be in the European Union. They were going to disrupt our
:36:36. > :36:40.Brexit negotiations and I thought it was important to go to the country
:36:41. > :36:44.and ask people for the mandate to take into those Brexit negotiations
:36:45. > :36:49.on behalf of the people because it was the decision of the British
:36:50. > :36:54.people to leave the European Union, and I think it is up to the
:36:55. > :37:03.Government to deliver that for them. And the last question here.
:37:04. > :37:06.APPLAUSE. You said Jeremy Corbyn wants to keep
:37:07. > :37:10.the benefits of single market membership without saying how that
:37:11. > :37:14.would be achieved. Isn't that what you are doing by telling the British
:37:15. > :37:18.public they can have tariff-free access, frictionless trade and
:37:19. > :37:22.controls on migration? The things you mention about the freedom of
:37:23. > :37:26.movement, they are things Labour might be able to say it could trade
:37:27. > :37:30.off for the great benefits you have talked about on the single market.
:37:31. > :37:31.Aren't the voters soon going to discover they can one have
:37:32. > :37:48.everything you have promised them? It is precisely things like that
:37:49. > :37:52.that people voted about when they voted in the referendum. When people
:37:53. > :37:58.voted to leave the European Union they wanted us to take control of
:37:59. > :38:03.our money, our borders, our laws. That is what our plan for Brexit
:38:04. > :38:06.will deliver. It's not what Labour will deliver. They would be happy to
:38:07. > :38:11.give that controls straight at the Brussels. That is why I say it's
:38:12. > :38:16.important we need strength in those negotiations and the mandate from
:38:17. > :38:20.people and every vote for me and my local candidates will strengthen my
:38:21. > :38:23.hand in those negotiations and it will be a vote for the strong and
:38:24. > :38:25.stable leadership we need to get through Brexit and make a success of
:38:26. > :39:06.it. In nine days' time my next guest
:39:07. > :39:09.Jeremy Corbyn is hoping to become this country's seventh Labour Prime
:39:10. > :39:15.Minister. In the run-up to polling day we have invited leaders hour to
:39:16. > :39:23.tell us about themselves and why we should vote for them. Good morning.
:39:24. > :39:30.The last time we met you were trying to become the Labour leader for the
:39:31. > :39:40.first time. No pink buses on this general election. You probably want
:39:41. > :39:47.to talk about childcare. Your party announced this morning about
:39:48. > :39:48.extending childcare for all to to
