Raab: A Good Global Citizen

Rt
Hon Dominic Raab MP, Foreign Secretary and First Secretary of State, speaking
today at Conservative Party Conference at Manchester Central Convention Complex,
said:

“Thank you, conference.

Taking on this job as
Foreign Secretary and our mission for a Global Britain is the fulfilment of a
long-standing dream.

Fifteen years ago, I was
young Foreign Office lawyer, posted to the Hague.
Diplomats from Asia to South America would say to me: ‘You guys in the EU. You
spend so much time talking to yourselves, you miss so much of what’s going on
in the rest of the world.’

It was true then and its
true today. Brussels isn’t the only game in town.
Everywhere I go, people are fired up by our vision for a Global Britain.
When I visited the US, President Trump invited me into the Oval Office to tell
me how much he loves our country.”

“When I visited Bangkok for the ASEAN meeting of Asia-Pacific nations, they
embraced our role in their region, because they prize our commitment to the
rules based international system.
In Mexico, we talked about tackling climate change.
In Canada, we worked on our joint campaign to protect journalists around the
world from torture and arbitrary detention.”

“The truth is we Brits
get a warm welcome almost everywhere in world.

Ok, maybe not in Luxembourg.

But you know what.
I think the British people have had more than enough of EU leaders disrespecting
British Prime Ministers.

So, we’ll strive in good faith for a deal.
But if the EU spurn the opportunity for a win-win deal,
We will leave at the end of October … no ifs, no buts.

We want to stay good
European neighbours.
But we’ll be free to chart our own course, as masters of our own destiny – at
home and abroad, with a more liberal and energetic approach to free trade.”

 

“But our vision of
Global Britain reaches well beyond just trade.

When I was posted to the
Hague in 2003, I headed up the FCO’s war crimes team.

Experiences like that
stay with you.

When I visited Sierra
Leone, I met the victims of that terrible conflict.

A boy told me how a
rebel soldier had asked him whether he wanted ‘long or short sleeve’,

Before deciding where to
wield his machete on his arm.

It was heart-breaking to
listen to.

But I’m proud Britain
helped Sierra Leone get back on its feet. I’m proud to have been part of the
UK’s international effort to bring the perpetrators of those crimes to justice.”

“And, as we look to our
future, our foreign policy should be guided by a clear moral compass.

We’ve got to offer the
poorest countries the chance to trade with us, freed from the shackles of
hypocritical EU protectionism.

We’ve got to lead in
tackling climate change. That’s why we’re hosting COP26, the global conference
on climate change, in Glasgow next year.

And we’ve got to offer
the down-trodden around the world the hope that comes with standing up for the
basic freedoms we cherish here in Manchester, this week, in this conference
centre.

Sometimes it feels a
hopeless task.
But history remembers the courage of those who stand up to be counted.”

“In the 1990s, I met a
Russian dissident Natan Sharansky. He’d been locked in a Soviet gulag for 9
years for campaigning for the right of oppressed Jews to leave Russia.
I still find that tough to imagine… 9 years in a Soviet jail, miserable
conditions, separated from your loved ones.”

“I asked Sharanksy what
kept his hopes alive.
He told me the political prisoners had a secret way of communicating in the
gulag.
They tapped on the walls, in code, to spread the word.”

“So, when, in 1983,
Ronald Reagan stood up and called the Soviet Union an Evil Empire,
Those Soviet prisons came alive with the hum of jailed dissidents tapping and whispering
from cell to cell. Reagan’s courage and moral clarity gave hope to those who
feared they’d been forgotten.
And Sharanksy was the first political prisoner Mikhail Gorbachev released.”

“The world is different
today.
But, we must never forget the lessons of history.
And we must keep the flame of freedom alive in the darkest corners of the
bleakest jails,
For those struggling for the basic liberties we take for granted…
The right you jealously guard – here, this week – to debate, to have your say, to
hold your politicians to account.

So, we won’t look the
other way, when the people of Hong Kong are beaten indiscriminately on commuter
trains for exercising the right to peaceful protest.

We won’t stand idly by
whilst journalists are jailed or beaten up for criticising the despotic regime
of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.

And we will never rest
until all those bearing UK nationality, detained on a cruel whim in Iran, are
free to re-join their loved ones at home.”

“We will relish not shrink
from our duty to take a leading role in bringing the perpetrators of the worst
injustices to account.

Whether it’s ensuring
the release of the two Reuters journalists jailed in Myanmar for reporting on
the plight of the Rohingya refugees or bringing war criminals to trial from
Yugoslavia to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

And when we leave the
EU, we’ll be able to do even more.

So, conference, I can
tell you today that we will bring into force a UK Magnitsky law,
To place visa bans and asset freezes on those individuals deemed responsible
for serious human rights abuses, including torture.”

“Because, the British
people don’t want those with blood on their hands doing their Christmas
shopping in Knightsbridge or laundering their dirty money through British
banks. And because, our vision of Global Britain means being a force for good
in the world, A Global Good Citizen.”

 

“And the fate of those
living under oppression reminds us how much we prize our hard-earned
prosperity, our hard-won freedoms.
We must never take them for granted.

That’s what’s at stake,
if Labour takes office under Jeremy Corbyn.

Labour, once a
mainstream party now hails the failed socialist experiment in Venezuela where
the population starves and dissidents are shot in the street.

A party that chooses to
believe the Kremlin over our own intelligence services, when Putin’s assassins
poison people on the streets of Salisbury.

And a party led by a man
in Jeremy Corbyn who attends a memorial at the graves of terrorists responsible
for butchering Israeli Olympic athletes out of anti-Semitic hate.”

“I say this as a
passionate Brexiteer, there are some things even bigger than Brexit,
And keeping that lot out of Downing Street is one of them.

So, to any of our
colleagues – or former colleagues – tempted to put Jeremy Corbyn and his
momentum mob into No 10, as part of some ‘temporary’ anti-Brexit coalition…
I just say this: history would never forgive you.”

“As for the Liberal
Democrats. They want to scrap the result of the 2016 vote.
You can’t call yourself a Democrat, put it in the name of your party, and then
try to cancel a referendum.
Well, no one ever accused the Lib Dems of consistency.
But when it comes to offences under the Trade Description Act, they’re guilty
as charged.

This Prime Minister is
offering a better way forward.

Let’s get Brexit done,

Let’s move on,
Let’s unite behind our One Nation vision for the country,
And let’s bring the Conservative family back together.”

 

“We in the Conservative
party keep our promises.
We’re going to make a success of Brexit,
And, we will free our country to reach its full potential.

With the Prime
Minister’s leadership and energy, we’re going to seize this historic
opportunity for Britain to reach out to the world on our own terms… with global
horizons, limitless ambition and a strong moral compass.”

“Friends, it’s time to
put the past behind us.
It’s time to let go of the wrangling and the doubts.
It’s time for us to be the country we want to be.

Great Britain:
ambitious, confident and free.”

Ben Wallace: Speech to Conservative Party Conference

Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace, speaking
today at Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, said:

 

(Check
against delivery)

 

“Good
afternoon, as a Lancashire MP it is so nice to be here in Manchester at the heart
of the North West. A region whose contribution to the wealth, science and
innovation of the Nation is unrivalled. A region who builds our ships,
submarines and aircraft to keep our nation safe.

In
fact North West aerospace industries have a combined turnover of £7bn and
export all over the world.

It
wasn’t for nothing that Mr Rolls met Mr Royce 115 years ago in the Midland
Hotel. The pursuit of excellence is what our defence companies do which is why
we rely on them to supply our armed forces.

Excellent
defence anchored in engineering excellence. A partnership that supports jobs
and skills up and down the spine of our United Kingdom. Spreading prosperity
and creating wealth.

I
was delighted in July to have been appointed Secretary of State for Defence. It
is a great privilege to

be
in charge of a department that has within it so many amazing men and women
whose “can do attitude” and dedication to duty ensures we can sleep soundly at
night.

As
a former soldier myself it feels like home. Now I have to admit that when I
served I was not the highest of flyers. I was not always in the good books.
Indeed I was often in receipt of numerous extra guard duties for one
transgression or another.

But
I wouldn’t have missed my years in uniform for the world. The comradery, the
sense of purpose and the experiences equipped me for life. And yes we faced
danger and saw things no one should have to see but we did it together and we
did it because deep down we believed in the values of this great country.

Those
values haven’t changed. Our belief in freedom, the rule of law, tolerance and
democracy. Our armed forces are the vanguard of those values.

They
are the most important equipment of all and It is our duty as politicians to
honour them with honesty and clear leadership.

For
too many decades politicians have had greater ambitions than they were prepared
to fund. Funding

pressures
were dealt with not by doing less but by hollowing out often leaving our forces
over stretched, over spent or both.

In
September the Prime Minister and Chancellor recognised the importance of
defence by putting their money where their mouth was. The record £2.2 billion
settlement means we can properly deliver both the investment into our people
and into our future capability.

With
the new funding we will invest in better accommodation, childcare and career
pathways for our Armed Forces personnel and we can ensure that we don’t over
stretch and run down our equipment. It is why, as the new Shipbuilding tsar, I
was able to confirm the order for five British made, Type 31 frigates this
month.

As
Defence Secretary I am determined to meet these 21st century challenges by
delivering reform. It is vital that the UK delivers an up to date defence
capability that allows us to not only defend ourselves but to also ensure we
play a leading role in shaping the globe, supporting our Allies and protecting
the rules based system.

Much
of what defence does is often unseen. Over the horizon or deep under the
oceans.  But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter. It does. In the 21st
century securing the nation is no easy task. The threats ranged against us come
from far and wide. From terrorists, from aggressor states and natural
phenomena.  

Our
security is threatened in different domains – land, sea, space, cyber, air. Day
and night. Winter and

summer.
 Our adversaries constantly look for new means of attack.  In the 21
years since I left the Army war fighting has changed beyond recognition.
Drones, the internet, satellites and artificial intelligence all pose deadly
challenges. Much of what we do overseas, such us the fight against ISIL, is
designed to keep our streets safe here at home.

Just
last week, on the eastern reaches of Ukraine I observed the separatist trenches
at first hand. But our friends in Ukraine are not alone. Our Army are there
too. Training and advising. Making sure Russian efforts to undermine the
international rule of law that we all live by are not successful. 

Meanwhile
at home our troops are ready and able to help mitigate the consequences of
terrorism or floods as we saw only this year. In fact our armed forces always
stand ready to contribute to that most vital of duties of Government –
Defence. 

The
Ministry of Defence I lead is lucky to have an excellent team – Mark Lancaster,
Baroness Goldie, Anne–Marie Trevelyan, Johnny Mercer and Leo Docherty. That
means there are four Ministers who have served in the Armed Forces working in
the department. Unprecedented I am sure.

But
let us take a moment to contrast our team with Labour… A leader and shadow
chancellor who have spent more time honouring dead terrorists than British
Veterans. A leader who when my soldiers and I were fighting the IRA was sipping
tea with them. And a Labour Party who would shut down our defence industries
out of a misguided ideological crusade. As ever playing politics with people’s
livelihoods.

After
Brexit,  Britain will want to spread her wings to new markets and new
territories.  We will want to strengthen our international links. For
example the Five Eyes eyes nations – the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and
UK already trust and share the same values.

In
defence we must embrace them even more. Helping each other – from the Arctic to
the Pacific. 

Defence
must be Global Britain’s “tip of the spear” and “spine of our nation.” It must
be modern and potent. It must be ready and able. I am determined to make sure
it will be.”

Alok Sharma: The moral and economic case for UK aid

Alok
Sharma, International Development Secretary, speaking today at Conservative
Party Conference at The Manchester Convention Centre, said:

(Check
against delivery)

“Conference. 

Five
weeks ago, I stood at one of the busiest crossings along the border of Uganda
and the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

I
saw the vital support UK aid is providing to prevent Ebola crossing borders.

I
spoke to health workers.  Community leaders.  Women and children in a
local village.  Their verdict was unanimous. 

Britain’s
international leadership in combating the spread of this deadly disease has
been critical in saving lives.

Some
may ask, why does this matter for Britain? 

To
those people, I would say it is the right thing to do. 

Since
August 2018, over 2,000 people have died from Ebola in East Africa.

The
latest reported victim a 9-year-old Congolese girl. 

If
we can prevent deaths from diseases where there are cures and vaccines, then we
must act. 

But
for me, the Conservative Party’s ultimate goal is about supporting countries to
help themselves. 

To
become economically self-sustaining.

Our
trading partners of the future.

I
want developing countries to trade their way out of needing aid.

It
is a vision shared by all my brilliant Ministerial colleagues Zac Goldsmith,
Andrew Murrison, Andrew Stephenson and Liz Sugg.

Successful
countries draw on the talent of all their population.  

That
is why I am delighted our Prime Minister is championing 12 years of quality
education for every girl around the world. 

On
a visit to Kaduna State in Nigeria I saw precisely what British leadership and
support can achieve.

I
visited a previously failing school which, with UK support, had almost doubled
its school roll in two years.

Over
half the pupils enrolled are now girls. 

They
are achieving great results. 

And
the students spoke of their ambitions to be business leaders, doctors and
journalists.

We
should all be very proud that it is a Conservative Prime Minister and a
Conservative Government helping to empower girls and women around the world.

Helping
them to build a better future for themselves, their families and their
countries.

Conservative
Prime Ministers have a habit of setting the pace on global action.

I
remember the last time I spoke on the main conference stage, I was 20.

We
were in Blackpool and Margaret Thatcher was our Prime Minister.

For
all of us, Lady Thatcher is an icon.

That
is how my family viewed her.  

It
was her economic policies that allowed my parents to build their small
business. 

On
a personal level, my family owes her a deep sense of heartfelt gratitude.

Margaret
Thatcher set the pace in so many areas, including on climate change. 

She
did more than any other major UK politician at the time to legitimise the
environment as a concern at the highest level.

30
years ago, speaking passionately at the United Nations about the threat posed
by climate change.

And
this week at the United Nations, our Prime Minister announced that we will
double our support to help developing countries turn the tide against climate
change and species loss.

It’s
us Conservatives, tackling climate change and protecting the world’s biodiversity.

Since
arriving at DFID, I have renewed our emphasis economic development,
particularly when it comes to climate resilient infrastructure.

I
have set up an Infrastructure Commission to help us mobilise private sector
investment, to create jobs that will lift millions out of poverty in Africa.

We
must support partner countries to raise more resources
through private sector investment and their own tax revenues.
 

Within
10 years, we want to support partner countries to raise ten times more resource
through private sector investment and their own tax revenues than they receive
in UK aid.

That
is how we help to build sustainable economies.

And
that is where we differ so much from Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party. 

Labour
believe in handouts at home and abroad. We believe in a helping hand.

Labour
see business as the enemy.  We see the private sector as an enabler.

Leaving the European Union will present new
opportunities. 

We
will be able to spend our aid budget more efficiently, deciding for ourselves
what to spend it on.

That’s
why we need to get Brexit done.

The
only reason our country is able to help others is because of our strong
economy.

A
strong economy rescued, yet again, by a Conservative Government from the
clutches of another failing Labour administration. 

An
economy, based on sound economic principles, delivering record employment.
Wages growth out pacing inflation.

And
what is Jeremy Corbyn’s economic model? Venezuela.

Who
does Jeremy Corbyn consider as one of his mates? Maduro, the Marxist President
of Venezuela.

A
man whose policies have resulted in millions of Venezuelans fleeing their
country.

And
millions more trapped, suffering the impact of a growing humanitarian
disaster. 

The
economy collapsed.

Public
services collapsed.

The
very being of the country on life support.

We
should be proud that Britain has stepped forward to provide life-saving
humanitarian support to millions of Venezuelans.

Just
last week, I announced an aid package that will deliver life-saving medicine
and clean water to those suffering from the dire crisis in that country. 

Venezuela
serves as a grim reminder of why we cannot allow Corbyn and his Marxist
henchman McDonnell loose on the British economy. 

We
need a thriving economy in order to be able to help others. 

As
Conservatives, we believe there is both a moral and economic case for UK aid.

But
what I will not tolerate is hard working British taxpayers’ money, your money,
being frittered away on projects that don’t make a difference to the world’s
poorest.

UK
Aid must be built on a commitment to end extreme poverty. 

We
should be so proud to live in the best country in the world.

A
tolerant, generous and outward looking nation. 

With
one of the world’s biggest economies. 

Providing
leadership on the international stage.

Projecting
British values around the globe.

But
to do all that, we must keep our economy strong, with a Conservative
Government. 

United
behind our One Nation Prime Minister. 

Ready
to get Brexit done, so that we can move on and deliver on the people’s
priorities.

Delivering
opportunity, and economic prosperity, across the whole of our great United
Kingdom.”

Cleverly: Conservative Party signs up to Armed Forces Covenant

The Prime Minister and the Conservative Party Chairman
have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, formalising the Conservative Party’s
commitment to supporting veterans and forces personnel.

The Conservative Party is the first political party in
the UK to sign the Armed Forces Covenant, which recognises the contribution of
serving personnel, veterans and military families.

In a keynote address to Conservative Party members,
the Party Chairman, James Cleverly, will say that he is proud to have veterans,
reservists and cadet volunteers represented at every level of the Conservative
party. Signing the Armed Forces Covenant will formally recognise the commitment
and dedication of the Forces family.

The Party
will now offer reduced price conference passes to veterans, proactively
advertise employment vacancies to the veteran community and strive to
accommodate the training and deployment commitments of Reserves. The Party
already offers concessionary membership rates to serving or former members of
the Armed Forces.

This builds on the work of the Conservative Government
to support the Armed Forces. Since 2010, the Conservatives have enshrined the
Armed Forces Covenant in law, launched the first ever UK-wide Veterans Strategy
and awarded ID cards to all veterans,
making it easier for ex-forces personnel to access specialist support.

One of Boris Johnson’s first acts as Prime Minister
was to establish the Office for Veterans Affairs, responsible for ensuring
Government departments deliver on their responsibilities to veterans.

Commenting, James Cleverly MP, Chairman of the
Conservative Party, said:

 

“Our Armed Forces are some of the most committed and
dedicated people in the country. Their bravery should be acknowledged formally
and I’m delighted that the Conservative Party has done so.”

Conservatives embark on biggest hospital building programme for a generation

Health
Secretary Matt Hancock has launched the biggest hospital building programme in
a generation, as part of a major push by the Conservatives to ensure the NHS is
delivering for patients across the country.

The
multi-billion pound new Health Infrastructure Plan will deliver a long-term,
rolling five-year programme of investment in health infrastructure, including
capital to build new hospitals, modernise our primary care estate, and invest
in new diagnostics and technology.

As
part of the Health Infrastructure Plan, 40 new hospitals will be built across
England over the next decade. Six of the hospital builds are getting the full
go-ahead today, and a further twenty one new build projects (consisting of
thirty four new hospitals in total) are receiving seed funding to kick start
their schemes. Other projects will be able to bid into this and other future
waves too.

The
package includes £200m to replace MRI, CT scanners and breast cancer screening
equipment, so that no scanner in the NHS is more than 10 years old. And the
Government is today confirming that the Department of Health and Social Care
will receive a new multi-year capital settlement at the next capital review to
develop capacity, plan effectively, get better value for money and deliver on the
commitments we have already made.

The
six hospitals getting the full go-ahead today are: Whipps Cross Hospital, Epsom
and St Helier Trust, West Hertfordshire Trust, Princess Alexandra Hospital
Trust, University Hospitals of Leicester Trust, and Leeds Teaching Hospitals
Trust. These projects are being funded with a £2.7 billion cash injection of
brand new money from the Treasury.

The
projects receiving the £100 million seed funding include Addenbrookes hospital
in Cambridge, the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham and the North Manchester
General Hospital.

The
new investment comes in addition to the £33.9 billion increase in cash funding
for the day-to-day running of the NHS being delivered by the Government over
the next five years.

Prime
Minister Boris Johnson said:

“When
I became Prime Minister, I promised to make sure that money for the NHS gets
directly to the front line, so that patients consistently receive world-class
care and NHS staff have the resources they need to provide this incredible service
day in, day out. We’re already delivering on this, upgrading hospitals across
the country. And today we’re investing more money to support our NHS. We’re
providing additional funding for 40 new hospitals to be built over the next
decade. This will transform our NHS for millions of patients and
hard-working staff.

“I’ve
spent the past two months visiting hospitals across the country, and I’ve seen
first-hand the need to invest in our hospitals. We need to get Brexit done
by October 31 so we can
focus on investing in our NHS, providing more
resources for staff and world-leading care for patients.”

Health
Secretary Matt Hancock said:

“I love the NHS and I’m incredibly
excited to be able to launch the largest hospital building plan in a
generation, with 40 new hospitals across the country. Too many of our
hospitals are too old, and this £13 billion plan will build new state of the
art hospitals, using the best technology, so our brilliant NHS staff have the
best possible facilities to provide the best possible care. 

“For too long, we’ve taken a
short-term approach to NHS buildings and infrastructure, too often using a PFI
system that has hamstrung hospitals for decades. Our new Health Infrastructure
Plan is going to change that. Rather than the piecemeal and uncoordinated
decisions of the past, we will be taking a strategic approach to improve health
infrastructure and set the priorities for the NHS over the long term.

“I’ve seen first-hand the difference
that world-class facilities can make for patients. At their best, well-designed
wards with the right facilities can speed up recovery, ensure patients receive
the right treatment, and get medication on time. The Health Infrastructure Plan
will help ensure everyone in our country has access to the best possible
healthcare when they need it, wherever they live, and whoever they are, for
generations to come.

“Alongside our record £33.9 billion
funding increase for the day to day running of the NHS, this is the largest,
longest, financial settlement for the NHS in history. This investment is only
possible thanks to our responsible management of the economy. Only Boris
Johnson and the Conservatives will boost our economy, so that we can properly
fund our vital public services and make sure our NHS is always there for you
and your family.”
