This will be part of what I say today at the Politeia meeting at Conference:
As we leave the EU it falls to the Conservative party to set out a new vision for our country.
We voted leave to belong to a confident outward looking UK, trading with the whole world, with friends in all continents.
We voted leave to spend our own money on our priorities. The £39bn we save if we just leave in March 2019 can provide a great boost to our public services, and to take home pay from suitable tax cuts
We voted leave to limit the numbers coming to our country, to create more better paid jobs for those already settled here
We voted leave to take back control of our fishing grounds and our farms, so we can produce more of our own food, cutting food miles and the import bills
We voted leave to make our own laws, so we can have high standards in areas like employment where that matters, and business friendly approaches where we need to boost enterprise and encourage more small businesses
The Conservative government needs to set out an agenda to modernise government. Applying new technology can raise standards of service and cut costs. Buying the best from the UK when we no longer have to apply EU procurement rules can lead to partnerships between government and business at home that are mutually beneficial. Pursuing the agenda of educational reform to raise standards and widen opportunity is crucial.
The Conservative party should be the party of higher pay and lower taxes.
Higher pay comes from working smarter. That requires more training, more support and more career progression for the many.
Our educational revolution has to equip and energise people to set up their own businesses or to promote the best interests of the customers of the company they work for.
Higher pay comes from harnessing modern technology, excellence in customer service, and high performance from well trained people supported by excellent machinery and artificial intelligence back up.
All this is so much easier if we take back control next March and free our budget to get on with stimulating our economy.
