The Prime Minister has announced that new warships for the Royal Navy will be built in the UK, securing thousands of jobs for people at British shipyards and ensuring the United Kingdom is a global, outward looking nation as we leave the EU.
- New Type 31 frigates to be used by the Royal Navy will be built exclusively in the UK, with the first ‘in the water’ by 2023, reinvigorating our Royal Navy fleet and supporting over 2,500 jobs.
- We will ensure we have a sustainable skills base for UK shipbuilding so our world-class shipyards are able to compete fairly for all UK Government contracts and around the world.
Figures this week showed that wages grew at their fastest pace in more than 11 years and there are a record number of people with a full-time job – showing that with the Conservatives boosting our economy, people have more money and security.
- The employment rate is at a joint record high and there are more people than ever before with a full-time job, giving more families the security of a regular wage.
- Only Boris Johnson and the Conservatives will get Brexit done and move the country forward so we can boost our economy and focus on things that matter to people.
- Labour mean more dither and delay on Brexit whilst their economic plans would wreck the economy – leaving us with more debt, higher taxes and fewer jobs, hurting the people they claim to help the most.
Boris Johnson and the Conservatives’ plan to bring the change people voted for.
We will realise the benefits of Brexit and get our country back on the road to a brighter future by:
- Getting Brexit done by 31 October – no ifs, no buts.
- Making sure Britain is prepared, whatever the circumstances.
- Making sure people start seeing the £33.9 billion cash and the additional £1.8 billion committed in their frontline NHS services.
- Hiring 20,000 new police officers and giving them the powers to keep our streets safe.
- Properly funding our schools with £14 billion extra so that every child gets more guaranteed minimum funding, regardless of where they live.
- Delivering a strong economy to fund the public services we all rely on.
