Evening all. Welcome to our fight of a conference with the Conservatives | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
here in Birmingham. Where Theresa May made her pitch not just for the | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
centre ground of British politics but for the centre left with her | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
repeated claims that she would run a government in the interest of what | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
she called ordinary working-class families. Change was going to camp | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
said the Prime Minister, pledging that her government would be a force | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
for good, for working people who felt they had left out. She took a | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
swipe at the socialist left and the libertarian right as she parked her | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
tanks across the centre of British politics, claiming Labour was now | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
the nasty party. Brexit looms over everything she does and says. Adam | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
headed out to see if delegates think leaving the EU will make the country | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
richer or poorer. Richer, 100%. Absolutely. No doubt about it. We | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
will be 100% richer? Roughly. Mrs May did not dwell much on | :01:08. | :01:20. | |
Brexit, but what she did say was significant. No longer under the | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
jurisdiction of the European Court of justice, no more free movement of | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
people but she did not spell it out but it was implicit in everything | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
she said was that we would no longer be members of the single market. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
When we came to Birmingham this week,... | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
When we came to Birmingham this week, some big questions | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
Do we have a plan for Brexit? | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Are we ready for the effort it will take to see it through? | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Can Boris Johnson stay on message for a full four days? | :01:49. | :02:11. | |
But I know there's another big question people want me to answer. | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
What's my vision for Britain? | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Today I want to answer that question very directly. | :02:21. | :02:32. | |
I want to set out my vision for Britain after Brexit. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
I want to lay out my approach ? the things I believe. | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
Change is going to come. Change has got to come, because as we leave the | :02:45. | :02:56. | |
European Union and take control of viral destiny, the task of tackling | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
some of Britain's long-standing challenges, like how to train enough | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
people to do the jobs of the future, becomes ever more urgent. But change | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
has got to come, too. Change has got to come | :03:09. | :03:26. | |
because as we leave the European Union and take control | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
of our own destiny, the task of tackling some of Britain's | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
long-standing challenges - like how to train enough people | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
to do the jobs of the future - But change has got to come too | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
because of the quiet revolution that took place in our country just three | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
months ago ? a revolution in which millions of our fellow | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
citizens stood up and said they were not prepared | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
to be ignored anymore. Because this is a turning point | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
for our country. A once-in-a-generation chance | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
to change the direction The referendum was not just a vote | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
to change for the EU, it was something the European Union has | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
come to represent. It was about a sense, deep, profound and let us | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
face it, often justified, that many people have today. That the world | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
works well for a privileged few, but not for them. It was a vote not just | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
to change the British relationship with the European Union, but to go | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
for a change in the way the country works and for whom it works forever. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Knock on almost any door in any part of the country and you will find the | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
roots of that revolution laid bare. A society should work for everyone, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
but if you cannot afford to get onto the property ladder or your child is | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
stuck in a bad school, it does not feel like it is working for you. Our | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
economy should work for everyone but if your pay has stagnated for | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
several years in a row and six items of spending keep going up, it does | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
not feel like it is working for you. Our democracy should work for | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
everyone, but if you have been trying to say that things need to | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
change for years and your complaints fall on deaf ears, it does not feel | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
like it is working for you. And the roots of the revolution run deep. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Because it was not the wealthy who made the biggest sacrifices after | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
the financial crisis, but ordinary working-class families. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
APPLAUSE. And if you're one of those people | :05:20. | :05:34. | |
who took a pay cut as household bills rocketed, or, and I know a lot | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
of people do not like to admit this, someone who finds themselves out of | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
work or on lower wages because of low skilled emigration, life simply | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
does not seem fair. Now, do not get me wrong, we applaud success, we | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
want people to get on, but we also value something else. The spirit of | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
citizenship. That spirit, that means you respect the bonds and | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
obligations that make our society work, that means a commitment to the | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
men and women who live around you and work for you, who buy the goods | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
and services you sell, that spirit, that means recognising the social | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
contract that says you train up local young people before you take | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
on cheap Labour from overseas. That spirit that means you do as others | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
do and pay your fair share of tax. But today... | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
APPLAUSE. But today, too many people in | :06:36. | :06:48. | |
positions of power, behave as though they have more in common with | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
international elites, than with the people down the road, the people | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
they employ, they people they pass on the street. But if you believe | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
you're a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere. You do not | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
understand but the very word citizenship means, so if you are a | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
boss who earns a fortune but does not look after your staff, an | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
international company that treats tax laws an optional extra, a | :07:13. | :07:24. | |
household name that refuses to work with the authorities even to fight | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
terrorism, a director who takes out massive dividends while knowing that | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
the company pension is about to go bust. | :07:30. | :07:29. | |
APPLAUSE. I am putting you on warning, this | :07:30. | :07:47. | |
cannot go on any more, a change has got to come and this party is going | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
to make it! APPLAUSE. Just listen to the way a | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
lot of politicians and commentators talk about the public. They find | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
your patriotism distasteful. Your concerns about immigration, | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
parochial. Your views about crime liberal, your attachment to your job | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
security inconvenient. They find the fact that more than 17 million | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
voters decided leave the European Union simply bewildering. Because if | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
you are well off and comfortable, Britain is a different country and | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
these concerns are not your concerns. It is easy to dismiss | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
them, easy to say that all you want for -- from government is for it to | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
get out of the way, but a change has to come, it is time to remember the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
good that government can do. Time for a new approach that says, while | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
government does not have all the answers, government can and should | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
be a force for good. That the state exists to provide what individual | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
people, communities and markets cannot and that we should employ the | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
power of government for the good of the people. Time to reject the | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
ideological template provided by the socialist left and the libertarian | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
right and to embrace a new centre ground in which government steps up | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
and not back to act on behalf of us all. Providing security from crime | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
and ill-health and unemployment as well, supporting free markets, but | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
stepping in to repair them when they are not working as they should. | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Encouraging business and supporting free trade. But not excepting one | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
set of rules for some and another for everyone else. And... | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
APPLAUSE. And if we do, if we act to correct | :09:42. | :09:55. | |
on fairness and injustice and put government at the service of | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
ordinary, working people, we can build that new United Britain in | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
which everyone plays by the same rules and in which the powerful and | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
the privileged no longer ignore the interests of the people. Only we can | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
do it. Because the main lesson I take from the conference last week | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
is that the Labour Party is not just divided, but divisive. Determined to | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
pit one against another. To pursue vendettas and settle scores. And to | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
embrace the politics of pointless protest, that simply pulls people | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
further apart. That is what Labour stands for, fighting amongst | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
themselves, abusing their own MPs, threatening to end their careers, | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
tolerating anti-Semitism and supporting voices of hate. You know | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
what some people call them? The nasty party. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. The speech was long and ambitious, | :10:55. | :11:10. | |
rhetoric and ambition, short on specific policy detail. Even when it | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
came to the economy, she spoke only in the most general of terms. An | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
economy that works for everyone is an economy where everyone plays by | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
the same rules. I understand the frustration that people feel when | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
they see the rich and powerful getting away with things that they | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
themselves would not dream of doing and they would not get away with if | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
they tried. I understand that, because I feel it as well. There is | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
always an excuse, reason why something cannot be done, but when | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
that is used as a basis for inaction, save in capitalism and | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
free markets falls. The Conservative Party will always believe in free | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
markets and that is precisely why it is this party that should act to | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
defend them. From Edmund Burke onwards, Conservatives have always | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
stood that if you want to preserve something important, you need to be | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
prepared to reform it. And we must apply that same approach today. That | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
is why when markets are dysfunctional, we should be prepared | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
to intervene. Where companies are exploiting the failures of the | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
market in which they operate, where a consumer choice is inhibited by | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
deliberately complex pricing structures, we must set the market | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
right. This party will always be the party of business, large and small. | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
But we must acknowledge that the small number of businesses behave | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
fuels the frustration that people feel. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
But the actions of a few tar the reputations of the many. | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
So the party that believes in business is going to change | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
Too often the people who are supposed to hold big | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
business accountable are drawn from the same, | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
narrow social and professional circles as the executive team. | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
And too often the scrutiny they provide is not good enough. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
So later this year we will publish our plans to have not just consumers | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
represented on company boards, but workers as well. | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
Those who contribute and give of their best. | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
That's why we announced on Saturday that we're | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
going to review our laws to make sure that, in our modern | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
and flexible economy, people are properly protected at work. | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
Workers' rights, not under threat from a Conservative government. | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
Workers' rights, protected and enhanced | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Government cannot stand aside when it sees social | :13:53. | :14:03. | |
If we want to make sure Britain is a country | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
that works for everyone, government has to act to make sure | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
And I want us to be a country where it doesn't matter | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
where you were born, who your parents are, | :14:17. | :14:17. | |
where you went to school, what your accent sounds like, | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
what god you worship, whether you're a man or a woman, | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
All that should matter is the talent you have and how hard | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
To build a new united Britain, rooted in the centre ground. | :14:29. | :14:48. | |
An agenda for a new modern Conservatism. | :14:49. | :14:49. | |
That understands the good government can do. | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
That will never hesitate to face down the powerful when they abuse | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
That will always act in the interests of ordinary, | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
That's what this government's about: action. | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
It's about doing something, not being someone. | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
About identifying injustices, finding solutions, driving change. | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Taking, not shirking, the big decisions. | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
Having the courage to see things through. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
It's not always glamorous or exciting, but at its best | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Not every generation is given this opportunity. | :15:30. | :15:40. | |
Not every generation called to step up in such a way. | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
To bring power home and make decisions here in Britain. | :15:44. | :15:55. | |
To take back control and shape our future | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
To build an outward looking, confident, trading | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
To build a stronger, fairer, brighter future, | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
That is the opportunity we have been given. | :16:09. | :16:16. | |
And the responsibility to grasp it falls upon us all. | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
So to everyone here this morning ? and the millions | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
Come with me and we'll make that change. | :16:29. | :16:38. | |
Come with me as we rise to meet this moment. | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
Come with me and together, let's seize the day. | :16:44. | :17:00. | |
The Tory faithful like the cut of the new leader, they feel she is | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
closer to them come Paire David Cameron ever was. Adam rugby tackled | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
a few of them after the speech. What did you think of her first | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
conference speech? Very good, great. What was the message? Country for | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
everybody. What did you think? Everybody working for everybody, | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
fairness, getting back to what the Conservatives do best. Did it sound | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
like Ed Miliband, talking about helping with the markets not helping | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
ordinary people? She will put it into practice and he didn't. How | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
different was that to the David Cameron conference speeches? | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
Completely different. I haven't been. I thought she was fantastic. | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
She speaks as if she intends to do what she's set out to do and she has | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
given me confidence that she will do that. Let's go over here. We are on | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
the BBC, are you happy with the government getting involved in all | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
sorts of things? Fantastic speech, inspirational. We have a spring in | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
our step. What about the idea of the government intervening more? It will | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
be an agent of change and she has thrown down the gauntlet, a | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
government for one country, one nation conservatism. Scottish | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has become the darling of the | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
English Tories but she is cutting out her own distinctive policy | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
agenda in Scotland and I suggested to her that there are a number of | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
areas where she doesn't agree with Mrs May. You are not going to | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
propose the reintroduction of grammar schools in Scotland? I'm | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
not, I know it is a few years since you attended Paisley Grammar. Not | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
that long! About 120. That's one policy you won't follow through. The | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
education system in Scotland has been different, even before | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
devolution. Since it came in we have been wholly in charge of education | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
in Edinburgh, we have ploughed a different furrow, giving more power | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
to individual schools and head teachers, out of local authority | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
control. But not grammar schools. You would like to remain in the | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
European single market. I would have liked to have remained in the | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
European Union. You would like to remain in the European single | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
market. You heard from the Prime Minister, she said she wants British | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
businesses to have the freedom to operate... At not as a member, | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
everyone can access. I wanted to stay in the European single market | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
because I wanted to say the laid-back stay in the European | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Union. What about companies being forced to publish the number of | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
migrant workers? -- because I wanted to stay in the European Union. It is | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
not something that I would propose. You saw me say strongly in my speech | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
that I want us to be the international party we have always | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
been in the past, saying to people who have made a home here and | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
contribute that this is your home and you are welcome. The government | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
hasn't said that. Liam Fox, your fellow Scot, said that citizens of | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
the EU in this country are essentially a bargaining chip. David | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Davies said that they are not and he's 100% sure that they will be | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
staying and he wants to make sure that is the first thing that is | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
sorted out so people can have that certainty. Good announced now that | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
regardless of negotiations can anyone coming here legally from the | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
EU and is working without a criminal record has automatically a | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
guaranteed to remain in the country -- you good at -- you could | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
announce. The government warrant. The government has a responsibility | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
to the 1.2 million British people living abroad that they get | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
assurances in the countries they are living in. You had reluctance to say | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
you were confident in Boris Johnson. Would you like to say it today? I | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
said clearly that... I had a sit down with him. We had a ding-dong in | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
the referendum but we are both big boys and girls. You said you are | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
confident in the role of the Foreign Secretary. Mrs May has set a high | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
bar, the aspiration to help ordinary working families, we need to measure | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
this progress. If I was somebody considering tax dodging or | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
facilitating somebody to dodge taxes and I saw Theresa May's gimlet eye | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
as she stared down the camera lens and said that they won't get away | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
with it, I would block my socks pretty soon so you are going to see | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
action. Ruth Davidson, she was the warm up act for the fine minister | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
and she turned up the heat, especially when it came to the | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
I'm here to give you the good news ? | :21:58. | :22:15. | |
the Scottish Conservatives are back as a fighting force once again. | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
Flattening the break-up of Britain, asserting that independence is | :22:18. | :22:35. | |
closer now than ever before, declaring that separation is somehow | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
inevitable. Today, speaking to people from across the UK I want to | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
make this clear, don't believe a word of it. | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
There is nothing inevitable about the break-up of this great | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
nation, and I for one will fight it every inch and so will | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
The SNP doesn't speak for all of Scotland. | :23:01. | :23:15. | |
Every nation is bigger than any one party, bigger than any one person. | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
And Scotland is bigger, more varied, more complex than the nation the SNP | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
instead of focussing on a second referendum that isn't | :23:27. | :23:50. | |
wanted, why not get back to the day job, instead? | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
Instead of picking endless fights with Westminster about whatever | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
pick a fight with poor literacy and numeracy standards | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
Pick a fight with the health gap between our richest | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
Pick a fight with the absence of mental health services | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
Pick a fight with the dealers who push the poison | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
You're the government of Scotland and you were elected to improve | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
the lives of the people of our country. | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
That's the fight that matters, so get on with it. | :24:20. | :24:40. | |
Last week, at a ghettoised 'women's conference', tacked | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
on to the front of the main event, speaker after speaker rose | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
to denounce the Prime Minister as not a real feminist. | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
Harriet Harman declared that Theresa May "is a woman, | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
What do the Conservatives do for women? | :24:53. | :25:07. | |
And Theresa May is exactly what a sister looks like. | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
Theresa May was a reluctant remain but she has embraced Brexit with all | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
the gusto of a convert and so have the vast majority of Tory activists | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
in Birmingham this week. Do they think that leaving the European | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
Union will make us richer? Adam went out with his balls for the last | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
time. We'll leaving the EU leave the | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
country feeling richer or poorer? Let's find out. Which are in the | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
long term but a lot of challenges. So both. Some people better off and | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
some people worse off. Two balls, then. Are you at the wrong | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
conference? Very good question. I feel more welcome here than I do at | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
the Labour Party. Richer, just having the seat at the top table. I | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
think we won't notice it this early on but eventually we will be | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
significantly richer. I think we will be poorer. We haven't left yet. | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
Why will we be poorer? I don't think we will get the right deal. Richer, | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
if we get the fair immigration system, anyone from Europe or | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
outside of Europe coming with no discrimination, it is carried to | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
make us richer and a better workforce. Go for it. Richer or | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
poorer? 100% richer. 100%? No doubt about it, best decision we've made. | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
100% richer? Roughly, absolutely. In the long term we will be richer but | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
there may be a period of turbulence. Is it a price worth paying? It has | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
to be. Andrea, you are going to like the question, is Brexit going to | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
leave us richer or poorer? Not denying it will leave us poorer! | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
That shall -- is that how we should interpret it? What would Andrew | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
Mitchell say? I think richer. We are old enough to remember it before the | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
first referendum. And were we rich in the 1950s? We had a good life. | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
Slightly on the poorer side. Why is that? Because it will take us some | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
time to get back into it. You've heard of Brexit? No... No one is | :27:40. | :27:48. | |
talking about it... Is Britain going to be richer or poorer? Don't you | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
want to answer? Time to take a selfie but not time for the box. | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
Which one will he go for? Emphatically richer. Aren't you rich | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
already? I'm going for poorer. I think it is a big mistake to have | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
left, making ourselves more isolated. It is a whopping majority | :28:13. | :28:19. | |
thinking that Britain will be richer as a result of Brexit. | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
That's it from Birmingham. Theresa May once asked to judge her by the | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
progress she makes in helping ordinary working families. The | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
rhetoric and the aspirations are ambitious. By the Conservative | :28:35. | :28:42. | |
conference of 2017, words will not be enough and people will want signs | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
of progress. Jo Coburn will be back on this programme with the daily | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
politics tomorrow at noon and I'll be back on BBC One on Sunday at 11am | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
with the Sunday politics. Until then, good night, don't let the | :28:55. | :28:58. | |
working families bite! | :28:59. | :29:01. |
