In Liz We Truss?

-

 Good afternoon,

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 Covid vaccine, and stood up to Russian aggression.

History will see him as a hugely consequential Prime Minister.

I’m honoured to take on this responsibility at a vital time for our country.

What makes the United Kingdom great is our fundamental belief in freedom, in 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 Covid.

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 - recognising 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 will get spades in the ground to 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 energy crisis caused by Putin’s war.

I will take action this week to deal with energy bills and to secure our future energy supply.

Thirdly, I will make sure that people can get doctors’ appointments and the NHS services they need. We will put our health service on a firm footing.

By delivering on the economy, on 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, of 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.

Hi Graham,

I have just read the Truss´s speech. I like this speech because is clear, concise and straightforwardly. It can´t compare but, in my opinion, he speaks better than MR. Johnson. I have understood it well, almost everything. For this reason, I foresee next good government to the English. I hope so.

I can see that the three successes of Mr. Johnson were the Brexit, the Covid and to stop Putin. The first aim of Mrs. Liz is to grow the economy, to cut taxes and to reform. The second target is the supply of energy and, finally, the third goal will be the National Health Service services. I think in these challenges -economy, energy and NHSUK- the UK needs to improve.

It´s evident that for her the British are the best, as she said they are stronger people, they have talent, energy, determination, grit and courage. This is the first meeting to next elections.

See you.

Hello José,

You may have understood Truss better than BoJo but most people would choose to listen to a speech from him. She is wooden - one thing that you can't accuse Boris of.

As for how she will perform as PM, the jury is out on that one. She recently got into trouble for making the same jury remark when asked if Monsieur Macron was a friend or foe. I actually think it was a good answer - after all, we demand that politicans give honest answers.

I (have) understood it well, almost everything. For this reason, I foresee that the next governement will be good for my English. (Or did you mean that the government will be good for the English (= English people)) I hope so.
