This election and the new generation of MPs that have resulted from Labour towns turning blue will help change our politics for the better.
- We have a responsibility to deliver a better future for our country and that we must repay the public's trust by getting Brexit done.
- That's why the first piece of legislation new MPs will vote on will be the Withdrawal Agreement Bill. By getting Brexit done this One Nation Conservative Government will help this country move forward. We will invest in our National Health Service, in our Schools, in creating safer streets, better hospitals and building a better Britain for everyone in this country, regardless of how they voted.
- Our job is to serve the people of this country, and the People’s Government will deliver on the people’s priorities.
With Parliament returning this week we will immediately start repaying the trust given to us and deliver on the people’s priorities.
- During Thursday’s Queen’s Speech, we will start repaying that trust placed in us and delivering on people’s priorities. That means strengthening the justice system, providing a better service to commuters, giving better protection for renters, and stopping local authorities boycotting products from other countries, like Israel.
- And, the Prime Minister will fulfil his election pledge to bring back the Withdrawal Agreement bill before Christmas.
On our NHS, the Queen’s Speech will go even further, and the Prime Minister will enshrine in law the multi-year financial commitment to the NHS - a first for any government.
- The NHS was a totemic issue during the election - with Boris Johnson committing the largest ever funding settlement for the NHS, an increase in doctors and nurses, 40 new hospitals and nursing bursaries to support students.
- The Prime Minister will bring forward legislation to enshrine in law a multi-year funding settlement for the NHS that will see a £33.9 billion per annum increase in the NHS budget by 2023-24.
