Prime Minister Liz Truss: ‘We can ride out the storm’

I have just accepted Her Majesty the.

Queen’s kind invitation to form a new government.

Let me pay tribute to my predecessor. Boris Johnson delivered Brexit. The covert vaccine stood up to Russian aggression. History will see him as a hugely consequential Prime Minister.

I am honored to take on this.

Responsibility at a vital time for our country.

What makes the United Kingdom great is.

Our fundamental belief is in freedom, enterprise, and in fair play. Our people have shown grit, courage, and determination time and time again.

We now face severe global headwinds caused.

By Russia’s appalling war in Ukraine and the aftermath of covert. Now is the time to tackle the issues that are holding Britain back. We need to build roads, homes, and broadband faster. We need more investment and great jobs in every town and city across our country. We need to reduce the burden on families and help people get on in life. I know that we have what it takes to tackle those challenges.

Of course, it won’t be easy, but.

We can do it. We will transform Britain into an aspiration nation with high-paying jobs, safe streets, and where everyone everywhere has the opportunities they deserve. I will take action this day and action every day to make it happen. United with our allies, we will stand up for freedom and democracy around the world, recognizing that we can’t have security at home without having security abroad. As Prime Minister, I will pursue three early priorities. Firstly, I will get Britain working again. I have a bold plan to grow the economy through tax cuts and reform. I will cut taxes to reward hard work and boost business-led growth and investment. I will drive reform in my mission.

To get the United Kingdom working, building, and growing.

We’ll get spades in the ground too.

Make sure people are not facing unaffordable energy bills.

And we will also make sure that we are building hospitals, schools, roads, and broadband. Secondly, I will deal hands-on with the.

The energy crisis was caused by Putin’s war.

I will take action this week too.

Deal with energy bills and secure.

Our future energy supply. Thirdly, I will make sure that people can get doctor’s appointments and the NHS services they need. We will put our health service on a firm footing. By delivering on the economy, energy, and on the NHS, we will put our nation on the path to long-term success. We shouldn’t be daunted by the challenges we face. As strong as the storm may be, I know that the British people are stronger. Our country was built by people who get things done. We have huge reserves of talent, energy, and determination. I am confident that together we can.

Ride out the storm, we can rebuild.

Our economy and we can become the modern, brilliant Britain that I know we can be. This is our vital mission to ensure opportunity and prosperity for all people and future generations. I am determined to deliver. Thank you.

Let’s trust having just taken over from Boris Johnson, posing outside the famous Black Door with her husband entry to start work, as she said, action this day.

Do you have a plan?
