If I’m the British prime minister I won’t be dictated to on the timetable or the manner of the negotiations.
Whoever the next prime minister of this country will be, it will be a female prime minister and a female prime minister who has formidable skills and I know whichever one of the two wins they will lead this country well.
The British people rejected politics as usual and government as usual. They want and need a new approach to running this country.
Government has got to invest more money in our NHS. The people who work in it are heroic. They do an amazing job.
If we are to make the most of the opportunities ahead we need a bold break with the past.
Our most important public service will always be the NHS. And I want to say something clear and unambiguous about the future of the health service.
I believed we needed someone who would be able to build a team, lead and unite. I hoped that person would be Boris Johnson.
I felt we needed someone to lead this country who believed heart and soul in leaving the European Union.
I will put my heart and soul into making sure that the care your son or daughter or mum or dad receives is the same I would want for my own family.
The promise to use the money we currently send to Brussels and invest it instead on the priorities of the British people – principally in the NHS – and to cut VAT on domestic fuel. With my leadership, it will be delivered.
The challenges facing Britain required not just a cool head, but a heart burning with the desire for change – not business as usual but a bold vision.
It is a belief in human potential that has guided me through my time in Government.
Whatever else I know, I know that if you invest love and care in any individual you can help them to make a difference, to write their own life story.
We need a national ambition to build hundreds of thousands of new homes a year, both private and socially-rented – led by someone who will not take no for an answer and who will push for diggers in the ground and homes for all come what may.
I will lay out my plan for the United Kingdom which I hope can provide unity and change.
The first four months of my life were spent in care, before I was adopted by my wonderful parents – my mum and dad – Ernie and Christine. They went on to adopt my sister, who is profoundly deaf, and invested both of us with a love and support that informs everything I do today.
The British prime minister will want to have a strong and positive relationship with European leaders always.
The promise to take back control of our borders. I will end free movement, introduce an Australian-style points-based system for immigration, and bring numbers down. With my leadership, it will be delivered.
The promise to leave the European Union, end the supremacy of EU law and take back control of our democracy. With my leadership, it will be delivered.
I will ensure we honour the instructions the British people have given us. I argued for specific changes in the referendum campaign, I believe in them, I will deliver them.
There are huge challenges ahead for this country but also huge opportunities. We can make this country stronger and fairer.
