thank you for your kindness, friends. friends, this is not the speech i wanted to give today because i believe that britain needed a labour government. i still do, but the public voted otherwise last night. earlier today, i rang david cameron to congratulate him. i take absolute and total responsibility for the result and our defeat at this election.
i am so sorry for all of those colleagues who lost their seats. ed balls, jim murphy, margaretcurran, douglas ale_ander, and all the mps and indeed candidates who were defeated. they arefriends, colleagues, and standard bearers for our party. they always have been, and they alwayswill be.
i also want to congratulate all our candidates who were elected yesterday and who will helptake our party forward as well.
i want to thank those people who ran our campaign. it was the most united, cohesive, andenjoyable campaign i’ve ever been involved in. i want to thank douglas ale_ander, lucypowell, spencer livermore, and most of all, all of you, the incredible team at the labour party.
and i also today want to thank the incredible team of labour party members, activists, and allthose people who’ve pounded the streets over the past months.
friends: britain needs a strong labour party. britain needs a labour party that can rebuild afterthis defeat so we can have a government that stands up for working people again. and now it’stime for someone else to take forward the leadership of this party, so i’m tendering myresignation taking effect after this afternoon’s commemoration of ve day at the cenotaph. iwant to do so straight away because the party needs to have an open and honest debate aboutthe right way forward without constraint.
let me say that harriet harman is the best deputy leader that anyone could hope for. i workedfor her more than 20 years ago, i am proud to have had her as my deputy for my term ofleadership.
she will take over until a new leader is elected. for me, i’m looking forward to reacquaintingmyself with justine, daniel, and sam. but before i do, i want to say a few things. first of all,thank you to the british people. thank you to the people who’ve met me on train stations andcolleges, in workplaces and schools. thank you for sharing your stories with me, i have learnt somuch for you.
it has been an enormous privilege. thank you for the selfies, thank you for the support, andthank you for the most unlikely cult of the 21st century, milifandom.
second, i want to address those who voted labour yesterday. today you’ll feel disappointed,even bleak, but while we may have lost the election, the argument of our campaign will notgo away; the issue of our unequal country will not go away. this is the challenge of our time,the fight goes on, and whoever is our new leader, i know labour will keep making the case for acountry that works for working people once again.
third, i believe in our united kingdom, not just because it is our country, but because it is thebest way of serving the working people of our country. you know, i believe that there is morethat unites us than divides us across the whole united kingdom and all of us in the months andyears ahead must rise to the challenge of keeping our country together.
finally, i want to say something to my party. thank you to you. thank you for the privilege. ijoined this party at 17. i never dreamed i would lead it. it has been an incredible force forprogress from workers’ rights to the nhs to the minimum wage.
no other party in british politics can boast these achievements and yes, it will be a force forprogress and change once again. and to all the labour party members, you’re the most loyal,supportive, amazing people, i thank all of you today. i am truly sorry i did not succeed. i havedone my best for nearly five years.
now you need to show your responsibility. your responsibility: not simply to mourn our defeatbut to pick yourself up and continue the fight. we’ve come back before and this party will comeback again.
and if i may, i say to everyone in our party: conduct this leadership election with the samedecency, civility, and comradeship that we believe is the way the country should be run.
i believe i have brought a culture to this party, an ability to have disagreement without beingdisagreeable. i urge everyone to keep this in mind in the months ahead.
finally, i want to say this. the course of progress and social justice is never simple orstraightforward. change happens because people don’t give up, they don’t take no for ananswer, they keep demanding change.
this is my faith: where we see injustice, we must tackle it. in a couple of hours i will no longerbe leading this party, but you see, for me, that has never been the only way to achievechange, because i believe it isn’t simply leaders who achieve change, it is people who makechange happen. i will never give up on that idea, i will never give up on that cause, i will nevergive up on fighting for the britain i believe in.
that faith will always be my faith, that fight will always be my fight, that cause will always bemy cause – and i will always be there in that cause with all of you. thank you very much.

mr president,
prince philip and i would like to thank you and frau schadt for the warm welcome you havegiven us at the start of our fifth state visit to germany. in the 50 years since our first visit, ourcountries have lived through many profound changes. i am very glad to record that one of theirreversible changes for the better in my lifetime has been in the relationship between theunited kingdom and germany.
mr president, it falls to a head of state to lead a nation in the marking of anniversaries. everymonth this year we commemorate either the centenary of a momentous event in the firstworld war; the 70th anniversary of a milestone at the end of the second world war; or, herein germany, 25 years of reunification following the fall of the wall which divided this city andthis nation for so long.
but, tonight, i would also like to cast back rather further in time. last week in a water-meadow by the river thames, i attended an event to celebrate the 800th anniversary of themagna carta. of course, in common with other events in our remote history, the precise factsof 1215 are disputed. the consequences of the agreement between king john and his barons,however, are not disputed: for the first time we established in england that no man should beabove the law and that individuals as well as rulers have rights. thus began the long, slow andinterrupted process of our country"s evolution into a democracy.
tomorrow i shall visit st paul"s church, where the first freely-elected legislature in germanymet in 1848. the frankfurt parliament turned out to be a false dawn; it took another centuryand the loss of the most terrible wars in history to set germany on the path of democracy.
earlier this year my cousins visited germany to mark with you, mr president, more recent andpainful anniversaries. the duke of kent visited dresden and the duke of gloucester visitedbergen-belsen. i myself shall visit bergen-belsen on friday. these visits underline the completereconciliation between our countries.
germany has reconciled with all her neighbours. i pay tribute to the work of the germanstatesmen since the second world war who reinvented germany and helped to rebuild europe.i met chancellor adenauer at windsor in 1958. he rejected the idea of a neutral germany,preferring to anchor germany in the west. his successors took up the challenge of unitinggermany as a member of all the institutions of europe and the west.
since 1945 the united kingdom has determined to number among germany"s very strongestfriends in europe. in the intervening decades, britain and germany have achieved so much byworking together. i have every confidence that we will continue to do so in the years ahead.
since berlin and germany were reunited there has been much to celebrate. today i cruisedwith you, mr president, along the spree. i saw fewer cranes than when i was last here in 2024.but still the most magnificent element of berlin"s skyline is the reichstag dome, an enduringreminder of our cultural cooperation. our work together includes every part of life, frompolitics to commerce, from industry to every aspect of the arts, in particular, music,museums and education.
we also saw a wonderful e_ample of partnership in education and science during our visit to thetechnical university this afternoon. the enthusiasm and interest our students and youngpeople have for each other"s ideas and work is our greatest asset: the ne_t generation is at easewith itself and with contemporaries across europe in a way that was never the case before.
the united kingdom has always been closely involved in its continent. even when our mainfocus was elsewhere in the world, our people played a key part in europe. in the nineteenthcentury in the russian empire a welsh engineer called john hughes founded a mining townwhich is now donetsk in ukraine. and in the seventeenth century a scottish publican calledrichard cant moved his family to pomerania; his son moved further east to memel and hisgrandson then moved south to k?nigsberg, where richard"s great-grandson, immanuel kant,was born.
in our lives, mr president, we have seen the worst but also the best of our continent. we havewitnessed how quickly things can change for the better. but we know that we must work hardto maintain the benefits of the post-war world. we know that division in europe is dangerousand that we must guard against it in the west as well as in the east of our continent. thatremains a common endeavour.
ladies and gentlemen, i ask you to rise and drink a toast to the president and the people ofgermany.

world aids day is a hugely important moment—both here in britain andaround the globe.
it’s a moment to reflect on the progress made, but it’s also areminder of how much morewe still have to do.
in recent years, there have been huge advances in treating hiv. andthat means that ifdiagnosed early enough and treated properly, someone withhiv can live as long as someonewithout it.
but too often stigma and myth prevent that from happening. people aretoo afraid to gofor tests and it isn’t caught early enough. it’s estimatedthat 20 per cent of the people in britainliving with hiv, don’t know that theyhave the condition.
we’ve got to bring that number down and get people the treatmentthey need. we’ve got tokeep on putting every effort possible into educationand awareness and what’s more we’ve gotto fight discrimination against hiveverywhere we see it.
today’s also a moment to remember our lasting commitment to thedeveloping world. theuk’s already dedicated a billion pounds to the globalfund to fight aids, tb and malaria and inthe years ahead we’ve got to showevery bit as much commitment abroad as we do at home.
this is what world aids day is all about -- renewing ourdetermination and saving lives.
on this important day let us all pledge to fight hiv and aids witheverything we’ve gotand make sure that we in this generation weren’t foundwanting.
thank you for listening.

i want to send my best wishes to everyone in britain and around the world marking rosh hashanah and yom kippur.
these high holy days give us a chance to look back – and to look forward. to look back at theimmense contribution jews make in britain: e_celling in every field, contributing in everycommunity, and living by those values – of decency, tolerance, hard work and responsibility– that are so central to the jewish faith and to british life.
and they give us a chance to look forward to a future free from conflict and prejudice. thatmeans lasting peace in the middle east – a future where families don’t live in fear of rocketattacks. and it means wiping out prejudice in this country, because we will not tolerate anti-semitism in britain. no disagreements on politics or policy can ever justify racism ore_tremism in any form. as long as i’m prime minister, we will do everything we can to tacklethis, and to ensure we learn the lessons of the past, as the holocaust commission, led by mickdavies, is doing so effectively.
around the world, britain stands for diversity and cohesiveness. when mosques came underattack who helped defend them? british jews. when a synagogue was under threat fromclosure, who helped save it? british muslims. this says a lot about who we are in this country –and it’s something we can celebrate and build upon.
so as we look back and look ahead, let me wish everyone a happy new year. g’mar tov andshanah tovah.

i once knew someone who spent a year in a plaster cast recovering from an operation onhis back. he read a lot, and thought a lot, and felt miserable.
later, he realised this time of forced retreat from the world had helped him to understandthe world more clearly.
we all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. with so manydistractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock. be it through contemplation,prayer, or even keeping a diary, many have found the practice of quiet personal reflectionsurprisingly rewarding, even discovering greater spiritual depth to their lives.
reflection can take many forms. when families and friends come together at christmas, it’soften a time for happy memories and reminiscing. our thoughts are with those we have lovedwho are no longer with us. we also remember those who through doing their duty cannot be athome for christmas, such as workers in essential or emergency services.
and especially at this time of year we think of the men and women serving overseas in ourarmed forces. we are forever grateful to all those who put themselves at risk to keep us safe.
service and duty are not just the guiding principles of yesteryear; they have an enduringvalue which spans the generations.
i myself had cause to reflect this year, at westminster abbey, on my own pledge ofservice made in that great church on coronation day si_ty years earlier.
the anniversary reminded me of the remarkable changes that have occurred since thecoronation, many of them for the better; and of the things that have remained constant, suchas the importance of family, friendship and good neighbourliness.
but reflection is not just about looking back. i and many others are looking forward to thecommonwealth games in glasgow ne_t year.
the baton relay left london in october and is now the other side of the world, on its wayacross seventy nations and territories before arriving in scotland ne_t summer. its journey is areminder that the commonwealth can offer us a fresh view of life.
my son charles summed this up at the recent meeting in sri lanka. he spoke of thecommonwealth’s “family ties” that are a source of encouragement to many. like any familythere can be differences of opinion. but however strongly they’re e_pressed they are heldwithin the common bond of friendship and shared e_periences.
here at home my own family is a little larger this christmas.
as so many of you will know, the arrival of a baby gives everyone the chance tocontemplate the future with renewed happiness and hope. for the new parents, life will neverbe quite the same again!
as with all who are christened, george was baptised into a joyful faith of christian dutyand service. after the christening, we gathered for the traditional photograph.
it was a happy occasion, bringing together four generations.
in the year ahead, i hope you will have time to pause for moments of quiet reflection. asthe man in the plaster cast discovered, the results can sometimes be surprising.
for christians, as for all people of faith, reflection, meditation and prayer help us torenew ourselves in god’s love, as we strive daily to become better people. the christmasmessage shows us that this love is for everyone. there is no one beyond its reach.
on the first christmas, in the fields above bethlehem, as they sat in the cold of nightwatching their resting sheep, the local shepherds must have had no shortage of time forreflection. suddenly all this was to change. these humble shepherds were the first to hearand ponder the wondrous news of the birth of christ - the first noel - the joy of which wecelebrate today.
i wish you all a very happy christmas.

good morning everyone. good god …good morning everybody, thank you very much.please, please take your seats,we’ve got a lot to get through. good morning everybody inmanchester, it’s agreat joy to be back here. not so long ago my friends i…we welcome all sortsofwonderful luminaries to city hall but not so long ago i welcomed the formerfrench primeminister, monsieur alain juppe to my office in city hall and hecruised in with his sizeableretinue of very distinguished fellows with theirlegion d’honneur floret and all the rest of it andwe shook hands and had atête a tête and he told me that he was now the mayor of bordeau_. ithink hemay have been mayor of bordeau_ when he was prime minister, it’s the kind ofthingthey do in france – a very good idea in my view. joke, joke, joke! andwhat he said … joke! hesaid that he had the honour of representing, he had239,517 people in bordeau_ and thereforehe had the honour of representing the9th biggest city in france. i got the ball back very firmlyover the net,folks, because i said there were 250,000 french men and women in londonandtherefore i was the mayor of the 6th biggest french city on earth.
i can’t remember e_actly what hesaid then, i think he said something like ‘tiens!’ or ‘bienje jamais’ orsomething, but it is one of the joys of this job that i am the mayor of aprettysizeable french city, a pretty sizeable russian city, a pretty bigaustralian city, an italian city, achinese city – i could go on. that is agreat thing about london, it’s a good thing for ourcountry because thatforeign money brings jobs and it fills our restaurants and it puts bums ontheseats of our theatres, helps finance our universities very considerably and itenables londondevelopers, some of whom i see in this great audience, to embarkon project that otherwisewould be stalled. am i right? yes. and it brings abuzz of e_citement to the city which also ofcourse attracts investors and yet wehave to recognise that the sheer global charisma oflondon is putting pressureon londoners, with average house prices in our city now si_ timesaverageearnings and for the bottom 25% of earners, the house prices in the bottomquarter arenine times their earnings.
the pressure is really growingand it is intensifying thanks to an entirely home grownphenomenon to which ialluded at the end of the olympic and paralympic games which tookplace lastyear because you may dimly remember that i prophesied that the athletes thatteamgp and paralympics gb had so moved the people of this country to suchparo_ysms ofe_citement, i think i said, on the sofas of britain that they hadnot only inspired a generationbut probably helped to create one as well and likeall my predictions and promises as your mayoror as the mayor of many of youhere, i have delivered mes amis, in that gla economics now saythat live birthsin london this year will be 136,942 which is more than in any year since1966when england won the world cup – and the prime minister was born i think.
i look around this audience –that means the population is growing very fast and it is goingto hit ninemillion by 2024, possibly ten million by 2031 and i notice when i point thisout topeople that they start to look a bit worn. they’re the older generationand think, all these otherpeople’s children, what jobs are they going to do,where are they going to live and will they bestepping on my toes on the tube?i want to reassure you first of all that london has been herebefore, we hadnine million in 1911, i think we had nine million in 1939 and the second thing–for once i actually brought it with me thank goodness – the second thing isthat we have a plan.here it is, the 2024 vision, and it will ensure that wecreate a city in which no child is left behindor shut out and everybody has achance to make of their lives what they can.
step number one – and i seriouslycommend this document, it is entirely free on the glawebsite, written entirelyby me as well – step number one is to build more homes as i say. can ijust askthis audience, how many of you today here in manchester are lucky enough to beowneroccupiers? can i ask for a show of hands, is anybody here an owneroccupier? look, here we go.who is an owner occupier? there is no disgrace inthat, we believe in the property owningdemocracy and all that kind of thingbut we have to face the reality that for many, manymillions of people, foryoung people in london, for many members of our families, it is nowabsolutelyimpossible to get anywhere near to affording a home and that’s why it isabsolutelyvital that we get on with our programmes of accelerating housebuilding. we have done about55,000 – rick, how many have we done so far? 55,000so far, give or take it will be around100,000 over two terms.
we’ve put £3.6 billion of publicland to the use of so many of the good developers i seearound here, since maylast year when i was elected by the way, but we need to do more and weneed toaccelerate our programme of house building dramatically and i think that it istime thatwe considered allowing companies to make ta_-free loans to theiremployees to help them withthe cost of their rent deposit – how about that?brainy policy, no, put in for the budgetconsiderations. can i also ask myfriend the chancellor to look at the baleful effects of stampduty in londonand possibly elsewhere, which is called stamp duty for a reason becauseit’sstamping on the fingers of those who are trying to climb the property ladder.look backover the last century, when did conservatives, when did we win hugemajorities, when did wecarry the country overwhelmingly? it was in the 30s andthe 50s when we got behind hugeprogrammes of house building to give people inthis country the homes they deserve.
to make those homes possible ofcourse you have got to get on with putting in thetransport links, as i nevertire of telling you and we’ve not only cut delays by 40%, comrades,in londonsince i was elected, we have e_panded the capacity of the jubilee line by 25%,thevictoria line is now running at incredible 34 trains an hour – how many isthat per minute? it’smore than one ever two, that’s fantastic, more than oneevery two minutes. there’s no flies onthese guys! we’ve put air conditioningon a huge chunk of the network and we are going onapace and thanks to davidand to george and the wisdom of the conservative government, weare now ableto, we are now proceeding full bore with the biggest engineering project ineurope,a scheme that five years ago was just a line on a map that thecoalition was under pressure todrop when they came in and it is now a giganticsubterranean huge, huge caverns, concretecaverns being hewn out of the londonwhatever it is, clay or something. i should know that. aswe speak, as wespeak, beneath the streets of london are si_ colossal boring machinescalledada and phyllis and mary and elizabeth and victoria i think, i have got theirnames wrong,i can’t remember their names but they all have female names forsome reason and phyllis andada are coming in from the west and mary andelizabeth are going from the east, from thelimmo peninsula and they arechomping remorselessly through the london clay and they aregoing to meet somewherearound whitechapel for this ginormous convocation of worms – i don’tknow whatthey’ll do but it will absolutely terrific because the rail capacity of londonwill beincreased by 10% and we will have done cross rail, i confidentlypredict, as we did theolympics, on time and on budget. a fantastic e_ample ofwhat this country can do and acalling card that british business is now usingaround the world.
in my view and in the view ofthose who are now working on cross rail, what we should do isuse those worldclass skills that we’ve been accumulating in london, to get going beforewedisband them on the ne_t set of projects. i mean obviously cross rail 2, highspeed rail, newpower stations, solutions to our aviation capacity problem, sothat we have a logicalsequential infrastructure plan for our country and don’tdo what previous governments havedone and that is waste billions by stoppingand starting. i think we can do it, i am absolutelyconfident that we can doit. we can put in the homes, we can put in the transport links butthe questionthat we’ve got to ask ourselves, and this is where this speech gets tricky,thequestion we’ve got to ask ourselves is are young londoners always able andwilling to take upthe opportunities of the opportunity city that we’re tryingto create?
now, dave, i’ve made it a rule atthese conferences never to disagree with jamie oliverbecause the last time idid so i was put in a pen and pelted with pork pies by the media but theotherday he said something that made me gulp because he was complaining about theworkethic of young people these days, a bit like a daily telegraph editorial.he didn’t pull hispunches – and this is what he said, not me, so don’t throwthings at me – ‘it’s the british kidsparticularly, he said, i have never seenanything so wet behind the ears. i have mummy’sringing up for 23 year oldssaying my son is too tired for a 48 hour week, are you having alaugh?’ thecelebrity chef told good housekeeping. and he went on, i’m probably gettingmyselfin trouble even by quoting this but never mind, he went on: ‘i think oureuropean migrantfriends are much stronger, much tougher. if we didn’t haveany, all of our restaurants wouldclose tomorrow. there wouldn’t be any britsto replace them.’
now i can see looks of apoplectic… well, no i can’t really. where’s the apople_y? i can seelooks of sadacknowledgement, that’s what i can see, isn’t that right? i can see avaguedepressed look of recognition and i know and you know that there are millionsof britishkids and dynamic, young people who are as dynamic and go-getting andas motivated as anypotential millionaire, whatever he’s called, masterchef, ofcourse there are. but my question toyou is, what if jamie has a point? what ifhe has half a point or even a quarter of a point? doyou think he does? half apoint, quarter of a point? he’s on to something. he may have phrasedit in aprovocative way but he was saying something that i think resonates, right?okay, i’mgetting through this with difficulty.
if he has a point then we need tothink about what are the possible origins for thatdifference in motivationthat he claims to detect and we need to think about what we politiciansaredoing about it, don’t we? if it’s to do with welfare as some people claim itis, don’t we neediain duncan smith to get on with reforming that system andmaking sure you are always betteroff in work than out of it? and if it’s to dowith education, as some people claim it is, then don’twe need michael gove to geton with his heroic work to restoring rigor and realism to theclassroom andgetting away from the old ‘all must have prizes’ approach where all pupilsmustbe above average in maths – pay attention at the back there! – which is notpossible. if, asi’m sure we all think and as i certainly think, the problem isalso to do with the confidence andself-esteem of so many of these young peoplewithout which ambition is impossible, thenisn’t it our job as politicians todo everything we can to give them boundaries and solidity totheir lives?
that’s why i have spent a lot ofmy time as mayor on projects like the mayor’s fund forlondon and team londonand encouraging volunteers to read to kids across our city andmentoringprogrammes which we are e_panding and the support of the uniformed groups,thescouts, the guides, all those kinds of fantastic organisations, bringingsporting facilities toschools that don’t have any, mobile pools we’ve beensending around london, beautiful glorifiedsheep dips we send round, they loveit. they work brilliantly well and we’re helping to gettalented youngmusicians to cross that barrier that they confront when they reach the ageofeleven and have to go through into secondary school and so many of them give uptheirinstruments and it’s a real, real tragedy and we are setting up funds tohelp with creation ofe_cellence in our schools and to improve standards allround, to support the work that michaelgove is doing.
it’s when i look at the hugerange of projects that we’re engaged in now at city halltogether withhundreds, if not thousands of other projects, many of which are supportedbypeople in this room, i do think we are making a difference to the lives ofthose young peopleand we have got loads of them into apprenticeships, about118,000 over the last couple of years,we’re going to get on to 250,000 by 2024and thanks to the police, thanks very largely to theirwork, we are seeingsignificant falls in crime as jane was just saying. we have been big fallsinyouth violence and in the victims of knife crime which was such a plague, andcontinues to bea plague, on our streets. it makes my blood boil to read acasual quote from some labourfrontbench politician, it may even have been theshadow home secretary, comparing londonto rio di janeiro because we’ve notonly halved youth murders in the last five years, we’ve gotthe london murderrate down to levels not seen since the 1960s. you are not only 20 timesmorelikely to be murdered in rio as you are in london, four times more likely to bemurdered innew york, you are twice as likely to be murdered in brussels –sleepy old brussels – as you are inlondon. presumably with lobster picks.
london is in fact now the safestglobal city in the world and it is not just those crimes suchas murder andyouth violence that we are significantly reducing, it is all sorts of crime aswell.we’ve got fare evasion, fare evasion down on the buses to an all-time lowof 1.1%, whatever1.1% means, mainly thanks to getting rid of the bendy buses.that i think is the way forward.you’ve got to tackle that comple_ of problems,crime well frozen, educationalunderachievement and you’ve got to make surethat kids growing up in london are able to takeopportunity that our cityoffers and at the same time we must make sure they don’t dismisssome jobs asquote/unquote ‘menial’, which is a word i sometimes hear, and that theyseethem, those jobs that london creates in such abundance, in the same way thatjamieoliver’s east europeans see those jobs, as stepping stones, as abeginning to a life in work thatcan take them anywhere.
now i’m conscious today that i amspeaking very frankly about this issue, i have probablygot myself as usualinto trouble, that’s my job, because i think there is a vast and latentgeniusin these young people and if we could harness their talents more effectivelythen theywould not only have fulfilling lives but we could drive even fasterthe great flywheel of thelondon economy that is now the most diverse in europeand we not only lead the world as thefinancial centre, artistic centre,cultural centre, we now have, we now have the biggest te_tsector anywhere ineurope, we have a growing ned city of academic health scienceinstitutionsalong the euston road and in ten years, in the ne_t ten years it is forecastthatlondon’s media industry will produce more film and tv content than eithernew york or losangeles. i can scarcely believe that but that’s what i amassured. that is an e_traordinarychange that is taking place in the londoneconomy and it is this prodigious, pulsating demandof london that helps todrive the rest of the country.
the eu commission has just done astudy about competitiveness of regions in europe,have you all read it? youshould read it, you’re in it folks. they have discovered, they havedetermined,the eu commission – and i dare not dissent – has concluded that surrey andwestand east susse_ – anybody here from surrey and west and east susse_? well done,welldone surrey and west and east susse_, you belong to the fifth mostcompetitive region ineurope. they have looked at berkshire, buckinghamshireand o_fordshire – anybody here fromberkshire, buckinghamshire and o_fordshire?well done, prime minister, well done,congratulations, you belong to the thirdmost competitive region in europe, well done. and whyare those regions sofizzing with competitiveness according to the eu commission? becauselondon isthe most competitive city in the whole of europe and it drives jobs across theuk andnot just in the south-east.
we have an absolutely beautifulnew hop on/hop off routemaster bus as you may haveseen on the streets oflondon and it’s built in ballymena, an absolutely beautiful machine builtinballymena, returning to our streets the hop on/hop off facility that was sowrongly taken awayby the health and safety fiends and the flooring comes fromliskeard in cornwall. yesterday iwas at a factory in middleton, greatermanchester, where they are making the destinationblinds with a beautiful 2024year old chinese silk-screening technique, the destination blindsfor our newlondon bus. there you go, manchester tells london where to go or where to getoff orsome such! it is an absolutely beautiful thing, it was very moving forme to see this work whichis the best of its kind in the whole world and if youlook cornwall, which i mentioned earlier, ittakes thousands of tons of steelfrom darlington – anybody here from darlington? frommiddleton? come on folks,from oldham? well there we go. cranes from derbyshire…[cheer]there you go!newcastle? bridges, bridges from shropshire, anybody from shropshire here?welldone, we love your bridges. survey equipment from devon and prodigiousquantities oflubricant which i have personally inspected, guess where it comesfrom? bournemouth.bournemouth, isn’t that fantastic. and what are the peopleof bournemouth doing when theyare not producing such enormous quantities oflubricant for cross rail? shall i tell you whatthey are doing? i’ll tell you.who do you think is the biggest employer in the whole of dorsetnever mindbournemouth? who is the biggest employer in the whole of dorset, you knowthisone – e_cluding the nhs which is still pretty big – do you know who it is?insurance is veryclose, it’s the right idea, it is j.p. morgan mes amis. j.p.morgan. if there wasn’t a strongbanking sector in london then there would beno strong banking sector in edinburgh and therecertainly wouldn’t be one indorset.
i’ll tell you folks, when i lookat what is happening in london at the moment, i look at someof the investmentsthat are coming in to our city and i haven’t had time to go into whatishappening, because jane mentioned it already, in battersea, in croydon, in theroyal docks, allthe stuff that is sprouting up all over the place. the craneswhich are now decorating the skies oflondon that disappeared four or fiveyears ago. when i see what’s happening i must say that ishare the optimism andthe e_citement of george osborne completely, i thought he gave abrilliantspeech yesterday but i also, i also share his realism, his realism and hisdetermination toremove the remaining barriers to competitiveness in ourcountry and what is the greatestbarrier to competitiveness folks, for londonand indeed for britain? what is it? not visas,much worse than visas. what isthe greatest threat we face, come on folks, pay attention. alabour government,correct.
i mean it quite sincerely, if youlook across the piece there is absolutely no doubt that alabour governmentpresents the single biggest threat to what i think is a glorious,gloriousfuture. do we want to go back to all that again? do we want to put them back onthebridge when they ran the ship aground? i got in terrible trouble forcomparing it to the costaconcordia, some people said it was tasteless of me sookay, what about the titanic then? is thatbetter? is that more acceptable?
we don’t want to go back to thehigh ta_, high spend approach of ed miliband whoemanated from the bowels ofthe trade union movement like his party, we want to go forwardwith a low ta_enterprise equality. we don’t want a mansion ta_ do we? no, we don’t becauseitwould inhibit the very homes programme that we need to get going and we want tobuild, as isay, hundreds of thousands of more homes. we don’t want to go backnever mind to the age ofold labour, we don’t want to go back to the age ofdiocletian, emperor diocletian that is, withsome crazed attempt atgovernmental price fi_ing, which is what ed miliband came up with lastweek, wewant to go forward with a serious programme of new power station building and,for mymoney, with fracking, why not, absolutely, let’s get going.
we must not go back to the oldfailed labour idea of a third runway at heathrow. you knew iwas going to saythis but i’m going to say it, a third runway at heathrow aggravatingnoisepollution in what is already the city in the world worst affected by noisepollution by miles.it was ed balls idea i seem to remember back in the dayswhen labour were in power, it is edballs idea now, he has revealed. it wasballs then, it’s balls now and it is not good enough forthis country, it isn’tthe right answer for the most beautiful and liveable city on earth.
if we are to compete in theglobal race then we need to look at what every one of ourcompetitors is doingin building hub airports with four runways or more, capable of operatingmoreor less round the clock and if we persist with the heathrow option we willwreck thequality of life for millions of londoners, we will constrain london’sability to grow and we willallow the dutch to continue to eat our lunch byturning schiphol into the hub for london. thankyou.
finally, we need to go forwardwith a new deal from the eu, a new deal for britain andindeed i think thewhole of europe needs a new deal from the eu. given what’s happening,given thepainful lack of competitivity in the eurozone, we need reform, we need a changetothose treaties, we need a new approach to some of those prescriptions aboutemployment law,some of those supply side regulations, we need a new approachand there is only one statesmanin this country, indeed there is only onestatesman in the whole european union who is capableof delivering that reformand a referendum and that is my friend the prime minister, davidcameron.
it’s true, absolutely true. if weget these things right and i am absolutely confident thatwe can and wedemolish these remaining barriers to competitiveness, there is no limit towhatwe can do. i saw the other day some geezer from the kremlin said somethingabout thiscountry that was even less polite than what jamie oliver had to say.he said that britain was asmall island that no one paid any attention toe_cept oligarchs who bought chelsea. my view isthat if somebody wants to putmillions of pounds into a london football club, that strikes me aspure publicspiritedness and i support them completely. i don’t want to risk polonium inmysushi by bandying statistics with the kremlin about per capital gdp or lifee_pectancy e_ceptto say that the uk of course vastly e_ceeds russia in both.
the serious point is that thisalleged spokesman underestimates where our country, the uk,is going and whatit can do. if you look at the demographics and the knowledge base andindeedthe manufacturing industries, if you look at what is happening with tata, inwhich thiscountry e_cels, then there is every chance in our lifetimes and imean to live a very, very longtime, that the uk – mark what i say – the ukcould be the biggest country in the eu both inpopulation and in output. thathad you, it’s true. scary thought. the reason so many russianscome here isthat they recognise that london is not simply the capital of britain but alsoof theeu and in many ways, of the world. a city with more american banks in itthan there are in newyork for heaven’s sake. a 24 hour city in which there are100,000 people working in supplying usall with coffee in the coffee bars oflondon, how about that? we have more baristas thanbarristers, there are quitea few barristers as well, and yet with so much green space in londonthat weproduce two million cucumbers a year from london. eat your heart out, vladimirputin. itis partly thanks to our cucumber yields, our staggering cucumberyields, comrades, that londonnow contributes almost 25% of uk gdp, which ismore than the city has contributed at any timesince the romans founded it.
in the ne_t couple of yearsobviously we need to take all sorts of crucial decisions about howto ensurethe harmonious development of that city and i want those decisions to be takenbyconservatives. the choice at the ne_t election is very simple – it’s betweenthe fool’s gold oflabour gimmicks which we all understand, we’ve all fought beforeand a government that iswilling to take tough and sensible decisions, to cutunnecessary spending but to make the keyinvestments in transport andinfrastructure and housing and in our communities that will takethis countryforward. i know what i want as mayor of the greatest city on earth, i think iknowwhat you want, am i right? i know that we can do it so let’s go for itover the ne_t two years.cut that yellow liberal democrat albatross from aroundour necks and let it plop into the sea, letit plop into the sea by workingflat out for david cameron as prime minister and an outrightconservativevictory in 2024. thank you very much, thank you everybody.

a very warm welcome to number 10 downing street. as-salamu alaykum. it’s really great to have you here for this eid al adha commemoration. tonight i want to say something about the importance of eid; i want to say something about the enormous contribution that british muslims make to our country; and i want to say something about the work that we’re all doing as a country to help muslims around the world.
but before i say that i want to say something about what a difficult eid i know it has beenbecause of the terrible events in iraq and syria and the appalling brutality of isil. but in themidst of this brutality and the awful beheading of british hardworking good, compassionatemen like alan henning and david haines, in the midst of all that, something has emerged inour country which makes me incredibly proud. and that has been the response of britishmuslims who have stood up and stood together and said: “these appalling events are notbeing done in my name.” and i felt so proud of british muslims in everything that you have saidand everything that you have done. and let us say again tonight that these people in iraq andsyria doing these appalling things, they have nothing to do with the great religion of islam, areligion of peace, a religion that inspires daily acts of kindness and generosity.
and that leads me to what i wanted to say about eid. because i’m not a scholar of any religionbut what i love about eid is it demonstrates how close together our religions are. because ofcourse we’re thinking of sacrifice, and we’re thinking of compassion. we’re thinking of themoment that abraham showed his readiness to sacrifice to god because he was prepared togive up his son. but god said, “no, you must take a lamb instead.”
this is the same in my bible as it is in your quran. but what i love with what you have donewith the festival of eid is that you’ve taken it one stage further and said that that lamb shouldbe sacrificed in 3 ways: for family, for friends and neighbours, and then a third for those thatare neediest in our society and in our country. and i think that lesson of sacrifice andcompassion that i understand at the heart of eid is so important and something that shouldbring all our religions and our communities together.
the second thing i wanted to say is just about the contribution that british muslims make inour country. i’ve spoken about the e_traordinary outpouring there’s been about theseappalling events in syria and iraq, but we shouldn’t be surprised about that because britishmuslim communities are immensely proud of being british and they give an enormous amountto our country. british muslims are actually the most generous, charitable givers that thereare of any community in britain, and that’s something to be immensely proud of as well as allthe contributions to the arts, to literature, to music, to sport.
before my conference speech i met an absolutely sensational british muslim woman whonot only ran 2 superb restaurants but was also a teacher, was also a conservative councillor andwas also the mother of 5 brilliant children, all of whom i met. and that made me think aboutthe hardworking people in british muslim communities who are absolutely standing up for thevalues that make this country great: values of enterprise, values of family, values ofcommunity, values of hard work. and that is what we’re celebrating tonight.
third and final thing is just to say a word about what we’re doing as a country to help muslimswho are suffering around the world. and i think perhaps we don’t say enough about this, and ithink perhaps we need to say more in all our communities to demonstrate to people who carepassionately about the suffering people go through about what a generous andcompassionate nation this is. we see these appalling problems in syria with so manyrefugees and so many people suffering. britain is the second largest bilateral donor of anycountry in the world. we’re always the first to step up and step forward, and we should beproud of that.
i’ve just been chairing a meeting today about how we respond to the appalling crisis of ebolain west africa, where muslims and christians are suffering alongside each other with thisappalling affliction. of course america has taken some great steps but britain again is thesecond country in the world, spending £125 million to help people in west africa. we’resending ships. we’re sending helicopters. we’re sending doctors. we’re building 700 beds tohelp those people. if you look at who funds the palestinian authority, again, britain is one ofthe most generous donors, not just to help with aid but also to help with governance and withe_pertise so that palestine can have the statehood that it so richly deserves.
so in all these areas we should celebrate what we do, what british muslims do but what ourwhole country does for those who suffer around the world. we made a promise to the people ofthe world, the poorest of the world, that we would spend 0.7% of our gdp on aid anddevelopment, and we’re one of the few countries in the world that has kept that promise. andthat is helping muslims all over the world, whether in syria, whether in africa, whether in eastasia, all over the world. and i think we should be proud of that.
so, thank you for coming tonight. thank you for your contribution to our country. i hope thatwith all the difficulties of eid we should celebrate the enormous number of people who’vemade the pilgrimage to the holy city. and so it only remains for me to say eid mubarak.thank you.

i want to wish eid mubarak to all muslims celebrating eid and a safe journey to those now on hajj.
i know that many of you use this special time to reflect on what’s important to you in yourlives: your family, your friends, your beliefs, your commitment to do the best you can forothers.
it’s also a time to think about sacrifice and struggle – and that is particularly poignant thissummer as we continue to see so many innocent people – muslim and non-muslim – caught upin the ongoing conflicts in syria, gaza and iraq.
it is truly heartbreaking to witness the loss that continues to take place in these parts of theworld. more than ever we need to strive for an end to the violence. we need to unite behindpeace, tolerance, compassion, generosity towards one and other – the values that are at theheart of islam and the heart of eid. today i want to reaffirm my commitment to thosevalues, my party’s commitment to those values, and i want to wish you all a loving andpeaceful eid.

chairman, principal,ladies and gentlemen,
i couldn"t be more pleased to be back at this greatinstitution and to be with you on such a special dayin all your careers. i now realize i have beenpresident of the college for the last thirty years,which makes me feel somewhat ancient, but it alsomeans that i have seen some remarkable changes,including the introduction of a much wider range ofland management courses, achievement of fulluniversity status, and the development of thesplendid rural innovation centre – which i visited two years ago.
but some things don"t change. the careers that you are embarking on are as important now asthey were for your predecessors when this institution was established in 1845, with my greatgreat great grandfather, prince albert, as the first patron. then, as now, there was a pressingneed to provide the best possible education for the people who were going to look after theland. and whichever aspect of farming or land management you have chosen to specialize in,that is, as the principal was saying, a huge responsibility.
it is absolutely clear, i think, that the most fundamental challenges the world faces over thecoming years will need to be solved by those working in agriculture. feeding an unsustainablygrowing global population of some nine billion people with limited natural resources, whilecoping with the inevitable impacts of climate change and, at the same time, sustainingnature"s capacity to sustain us, will be no mean feat. we are now pushing nature"s life-support systems so far that they are struggling to cope with what we ask of them. soils arebeing depleted, demand for water is growing ever more voracious and the entire system is atthe mercy of an increasingly fluctuating price of oil.
when we talk about agriculture and food production, we are talking about a comple_ andinterrelated system and it is simply not possible to single out just one objective, such asma_imizing production, without also ensuring that the system which delivers those increasedyields meets society"s other needs. these must surely include the maintenance of publichealth, the safeguarding of rural employment and small holder farming, the protection of theenvironment and vital natural ecosystems.
dealing with such daunting challenges will require a different approach – an approach thatputs the protection of natural ecosystems back at the heart of the whole process, so as to seea dramatic improvement in soil health and organic matter and to ensure genuine foodsecurity, not to mention long-term human health. it will also require the very best of humaningenuity, dedication and resourcefulness. and that, to me, is why farming and landmanagement can never be ‘just another industry".
you, ladies and gentlemen, will very soon be acting as custodians, or stewards, of a preciousnatural asset on which all of humanity depends and taking decisions in your daily lives that willhave long-term consequences. now i know only too well that you will be faced by endlessfinancial and economic pressures pulling you in the opposite direction, but if i could just ask onething of you, it would be that amidst all the e_citement of starting your new jobs you maketime to look around you and try to understand the bigger picture. what has happened in thepast to shape the land the way it is? are you looking at a healthy, diverse and resilientecosystem? and is the balance right between short-term production and long-term health andsustainability? i know those may not be the most obvious things to ask as you start to findyour way around, but they might well be among the most important, at the end of the day.
in managing rural assets you will also, of course, be playing important roles in ruralcommunities. and i do hope you will also think hard about this human dimension, because thehealth of the agricultural sector and the health of what is left of the rural community aredirectly connected in so many fundamental ways. and i e_pect this is something you allunderstand very well, but the wider population certainly doesn"t.
for what it"s worth, that is why i set up my countryside fund five years ago, to raise money tohelp provide a somewhat more secure future for the most vulnerable people who look afterthe countryside, as well as to begin to tell a story about where our food actually comes from andwho is responsible for producing it. i know that your students union has helped raise money forthe fund and i couldn"t be more grateful. it really is an important cause when every part ofthe agricultural sector is confronted by volatility, uncertainty and un-economic returns, so iam delighted to say that the grants we have given out over the last 5 years have just e_ceeded£6 million, all helping towards the process of maintaining living, productive, workinglandscapes that are better able to support resilient local businesses and strong ruralcommunities.
ladies and gentlemen, you have my warmest congratulations on being awarded your degreestoday. farming sustains life and is the foundation of any healthy civilization, so you have greatresponsibilities ahead of you, as well as e_citing opportunities – as long as you remember to putnature back at the center of all your thinking and professional activities. only that way intoday"s world can we hope to create a genuinely sustainable and durable future on this, wehave to remember, our only, miraculous planet. i can only wish you all every possible successin the future.

every year, this christmas party is held for the children of the people living in the mews ofbuckingham palace. everyone seems to be enjoying it. usually, we"re lucky with the weather,but tonight it seems a bit more like a typical english winter. the children have been waiting forthe usual buildup of e_citement and e_pectation for father christmas to arrive, no doubt,wondering what he"s brought with him in his sack.
for the children, the party and the meeting with father christmas are perhaps the moste_citing part of the evening.
but i hope that a walk through the stables also helps to bring the traditional story alive forthem. i hope it also helps them to realise how fortunate they are to have comfortable homesand warm beds to go to, unlike the holy family, who had to share with the animals becausethere was no room at the inn.
christmas is a festival for all christians, but it is particularly a festival for children. as we allknow, it commemorates the birth of a child, who was born to ordinary people, and who grew upvery simply in his own small home town and was trained to be a carpenter.
his life thus began in humble surroundings, in fact, in a stable, but he was to have aprofound influence on the course of history, and on the lives of generations of his followers.you don"t have to be rich or powerful in order to change things for the better and each of us inour own way can make a contribution.
the infant jesus was fortunate in one very important respect. his parents were loving andconsiderate. they did their utmost to protect him from harm. they left their own home andbecame refugees to save him from king herod, and they brought him up according to thetraditions of their faith.
on this birthday festival, which we try to make an occasion of happiness for our own families,we must not forget those children who are the victims of ill treatment or neglect.
it is no easy task to care for and bring up children, whatever your circumstances – whether youare famous or quite unknown. but we could all help by letting the spirit of christmas fill ourhomes with love and care and by heeding our lord"s injunction to treat others as you wouldlike them to treat you.
when, as the bible says, christ grew in wisdom and understanding, he began his task ofe_plaining and teaching just what it is that god wants from us.
the two lessons that he had for us, which he underlined in everything he said and did, are themessages of god"s love and how essential it is that we, too, should love other people.
there are many serious and threatening problems in this country and in the world, but theywill never be solved until there is peace in our homes and love in our hearts.
the message which god sent us by christ"s life and e_ample is a very simple one, even thoughit seems so difficult to put into practice.
to all of you, of every faith and race, i send my best wishes for a time of peace and tranquilitywith your families at this festival of christmas. a very happy christmas to you all.

新的一年到来了,对英国人民来说我们只有一个新年目标……
…to stick to the long-term plan that is turning our country around.
那就是坚持长期计划,让英国走出经济低谷。
when we came to office, our economy was on its knees.
曾经在我上台的时候,我国的经济几乎处于瘫痪状态。
three and a half years later, we are turning a corner.

my lord mayor, ladies and gentlemen, it is again an honour to attend this wonderful dinner and to speak to you as chancellor for the fifth time.
lord mayor, i remember coming here to mansion house, just weeks after the government wasformed in 2024 – with britain on the brink of an economic crisis – to give my first major speechon the task ahead.
i set out for you the economic plan we would follow, and i drew on the words winston churchillhad uttered in this very hall, to say that while britain could not pretend our travails were at anend, we were at least at the end of the beginning.
in the four years since, supported by the resolution and sacrifice of the british people, wehave worked through that plan.
now we are starting to see the results:
britain growing faster than any advanced economy in the world.
a record number of people in work.
now strong business investment on the back of low business ta_es.
and a budget deficit this year set to be half what it was.
last week, the imf said that our resolute fiscal policy had been in their words an ‘anchor forthe british economy’ that had maintained confidence and stability in the face of the storm.
and i want to say to the business and financial community: you did not waver; you stuck withus and i thank you.
but the task is far from complete; and there are many risks to the progress we have made.
abroad, the risks stem from the weak eurozone, unpredictable geopolitics and the slowdownin some emerging markets.
at home, our economy is still too unbalanced, so i am the first to say we need to continue ourefforts to boost business investment, e_ports and housing supply.
but the biggest risk comes from the tendency in parts of our body politics – the left and nowtoo the populist right – to wage a war on enterprise, regulate prices, propose penal ta_es,close britain to business and return to the old ways of borrow and spend.
we must win this battle.
and go on confronting britain’s problems with long term answers that will build an economy foreveryone.
so while i know this is my fifth speech to you as chancellor; i hope it is not my last.
for i want to finish the job.
lord mayor, tonight we are joined by someone attending their first mansion house dinner.
our governor of the bank of england.
mark, we all thank you for the integrity, intelligence and international reach you have broughtto the challenges of the last year.
and we look forward to what you have to say.
our 3 new deputy governors – jon cunliffe, ben broadbent and minouche shafik, together withandrew bailey, complete what i immodestly think is the strongest team of any central bank inthe world.
the court continues the oversight of the bank’s work, and at the end of this month anthonyhabgood will replace david lees as its chair.
david, thank you for helping steer the bank through the big reforms of recent years and theappointment of a new governor.
and thank you too to charlie bean for the 6 years he has given our nation as deputy governor.
we are lucky that one of our greatest economists has chosen to dedicate his life to publicservice for so long.
the bank of england now sits back where it belongs, at the heart of our financial system –supervising the prudential regulation of our banks and insurers, thanks to the reforms iannounced in my first speech here at the mansion house in 2024.
and in each speech since, i have set out new steps to strengthen the resilience of oureconomy and the financing that underpins it.
2024, ringfencing our retail banks
2024, launching funding for lending
last year, restructuring the royal bank of scotland and firing the starting gun on the sale ofour stake in lloyds.
it would be tempting this year, at the mansion house, to pause for breath.
but our task is far from complete – and today i will announce further changes to build thatresilient economy for all and the strong, competitive financial services that should contributeto it.
lord mayor, the city of london has emerged from the wreckage of what went so badly wrong,stronger and better regulated, more international and more responsive to the needs ofcustomers here at home.
our financial e_ports grew 10% last year, and our surplus in finance and insurance hasreached £45 billion – twice as much as our closest competitors.
we’ve welcomed to britain the headquarters of some of the world’s largest insurance firms.
and we have been chosen as the location for the international forum of the world’s sovereignwealth funds.
in my first mansion house speech, i said i wanted british financial firms and markets to be atthe heart of financing china’s e_traordinary e_pansion.
now two thirds of all renminbi payments outside of china and hong kong now take place inlondon.
chinese bonds are being issued here, chinese assets are being managed here, chinese bankswill be able to apply for branches here, a chinese clearing bank is soon to be appointed here -and ne_t week, when the chinese premier visits, we will take the ne_t big step forward in theeconomic partnership of our two great, historic trading nations.
i can also confirm tonight our intention in the ne_t few weeks, subject to market conditions,for britain to be the first western nation to issue a sovereign sukuk – an islamic bond.
for i want britain to be not just the western hub of chinese finance – but of islamic financetoo.
it is with these active steps that together we are making britain the undisputed centre of theglobal financial system.
but all this can so easily be put at risk.
by badly-conceived eu rules that only reinforce the case for reform in europe.
by populist proposals for self-defeating bonus ta_es and punitive income ta_ rates.
and by the potential break up of our nation.
edinburgh is even stronger as a world-renowned centre for asset management because it ispart of a united kingdom that is a world-renowned centre of finance.
and let us hope it remains so, for we are better together.
we should be candid tonight about another risk.
the risk that scandals on our trading floors call into question the integrity of our financialmarkets.
people should know that when they trade in london, whether in commodities or currencies orfi_ed income instruments, that they are trading in markets that are fair and effective.
the revelations about the manipulation of libor added further damage to reputation offinancial services, here and abroad.
in britain, thanks to the leadership of martin wheatley and andrew tyrie, we acted swiftly topunish the wrongdoers and fi_ the system.
let us not wait for the ne_t wave of scandals in financial markets to hit us before we respond.
the integrity of these markets matters to us. london is home to 40% of the global foreigne_change business; 45% of over-the-counter derivatives trading; and 70% of trading ininternational bonds. and mark carney and i intend to keep it that way.
so today i can announce that the treasury, the bank of england and the financial conductauthority will conduct a comprehensive review of standards in our fi_ed income, currency andcommodity markets.
the fair and effective markets review will be chaired by the new deputy governor, and formerdeputy managing director of the imf, minouche shafik – and she will be joined by martinwheatley and charles ro_burgh.
this review must work closely with industry. so i am establishing a panel of marketpractitioners, chaired by elizabeth corley, chief e_ecutive of allianz global investors.
the review will produce its report in a year’s time.
and some of its recommendations may require international agreement.
in the meantime, we will act here at home.
i am today announcing that we will e_tend the new powers we put in place to regulate liborto cover further major benchmarks across foreign e_change, commodity and fi_ed incomemarkets – many of which are currently entirely unregulated.
based on the review’s conclusions we will publish and consult on the full list of benchmarks tobe covered by this autumn, and we will have the new regime in place by the end of the year.
i am also e_tending the senior managers regime to cover all banks that operate in thiscountry, including the branches of foreign banks.
and i can also announce that we will introduce tough new domestic criminal offences formarket abuse, rather than opt into european rules we do not think suitable or sufficient forour needs.
for let me make this clear, so no one is in any doubt.
the integrity of the city matters to the economy of britain.
markets here set the interest rates for people’s mortgages, the e_change rates for our e_portsand holidays, and the commodity prices for the goods we buy.
i am going to deal with abuses, tackle the unacceptable behaviour of the few, and ensure thatmarkets are fair for the many who depend on them.
we’re not going to wait for more scandals to hit– instead we are going to act now, and getahead.ladies and gentlemen,
robust financial markets are an important part of building a resilient economy.
but tonight, i want to address another market which can create a risk to britain’s economicstability and prosperity.
not a new risk, but an old and very familiar one to us in this country – and that’s our housingmarket.
the challenge is that we want several things which don’t sit comfortably together.
for most people, their home is the biggest investment of their lifetime. and, of course, theywant that asset to increase in value over time.
but a home is also a place to live and build our lives – and we want all families to be able toafford security, comfort and peace of mind. that means homes have to be affordable –whether you’re renting or buying.
the only way that can be achieved over the long term is by building more, so supply bettermatches demand.
but we are a small and crowded island, keen to protect our green spaces and ready to objectto new development.
so the british people want our homes to go up in value, but also remain affordable; and wewant more homes built, just not ne_t to us.
you can see why no one has managed yet to solve the problems of britain’s housing market.
instead we have the repeated cycle of financial instability driven by high household debt; andwe see the social injustice of millions of families denied good homes.
but that should not deter our generation from trying to fi_ the housing challenge – for theprice of failure is too high.
so my message today is this.
as chancellor, i have never shied away from confronting britain’s problems.
the housing market is no e_ception.
i’m determined to back aspiration in every way i can, including the aspiration to own yourown home.
but i’m not going to opt for the easy route of some of my recent predecessors: duck the issues,risk a housing boom, and keep my fingers crossed that it won’t damage the economy.
so no irresponsible gambles with stability; no short-term fi_es.
housing is a long term problem – and our economic plan will provide long term answers.
here’s how.
first, we have to be clear-eyed about where the risks to economic stability lie today.
the risks come when people borrow too much to pay for rising house prices.
in e_cess, that debt can cause serious difficulties for them and the banks who lent to them.
and it can cause difficulties for the economy as a whole if an overhang of debt suppressesconsumer spending.
now, today, house prices are still lower in real terms than they were in 2024 – and are forecastto stay below that peak for some years to come.
at the same time debt-servicing costs remain at near record lows and rental yields are in linewith long term trends.
so there is no immediate cause for alarm.
indeed the most recent data shows that mortgage approvals have actually slowed in the lastcouple of months.
but we need to be vigilant.
for there are on the horizon things that should give us some causes for concern.
if london prices were to continue growing at these rates that would be too fast for comfort.
and the rate of price rises is now beginning to spread beyond london. across the country, theratio of house prices to incomes is high by historical standards.
and while average loan to value ratios for new lending are still well below normal, average loanto income ratios have risen to new highs.
let me spell it out: does the housing market pose an immediate threat to financial stabilitytoday? no, it doesn’t.
could it in the future? yes, it could, especially if we don’t learn the lessons of the past.
so we act now to insure ourselves against future problems before they can materialise.
because economic security comes first.
the first challenge is to be clear about the issue, and we are.
the second is to act on it.
when i spoke to you in 2024, i said one of the weaknesses of the system of financialregulation i’d inherited was that no one was looking for broader risks across the economy, inareas like housing.
so no one saw the rising debt levels – or had the tools to do anything about them.
i have changed that.
the new financial policy committee in the bank of england has been given the authority andthe macro-prudential tools to act.
they have also insisted on the toughest stress tests for our banks, so that this time round theycan withstand the worst.
before christmas, the bank acted with the treasury to refocus the funding for lendingscheme away from mortgages towards small business lending.
and earlier this year, our regulators put much more rigorous mortgage standards in place.
these are all important steps.
the fpc already have further tools in their armoury. but today we go further.
i want to make sure that the bank of england has all the weapons it needs to guard againstrisks in the housing market.
i want to protect those who own homes, protect those who aspire to own a home, and protectthe millions who suffer when boom turns to bust.
so today, i am giving the bank new powers over mortgages including over the size ofmortgage loans as a share of family incomes or the value of the house.
in other words, if the bank of england thinks some borrowers are being offered e_cessiveamounts of debt, they can limit the proportion of high loan to income mortgages each bankcan lend, or even ban all new lending above a specific loan to income ratio.
and if they really think a dangerous housing bubble is developing, they will be able to imposesimilar caps on loan to value ratios – as they do in places like hong kong.
it’s important that decisions to use these powerful tools are made independently of politics bythe bank of england.
we saw from the last crisis the dangerous temptations for politicians to leave the punch bowlwhere it is and keep the party going on too long. and just in case there is any doubt.
i say today, very clearly: the bank of england should not hesitate to use these new powers ifthey think it necessary to protect financial stability.
and i commit that while the bank and the treasury will need to design how these powers willwork in detail, and will want to consult on them, i will make sure that they are legislated forand in place before the end of the parliament.
and i also commit today that if the bank does act in future to limit mortgage lending then thesame rules will be applied to every single help to buy mortgage.
i know that some would take a more ideological position and end the help to buy schemealtogether.
they would return to the situation where only those first time buyers lucky enough to have richparents would be able to afford the large deposits demanded by the banks.
my approach will be dictated by the facts, not by ideology.
and the facts show that help to buy is working as intended.
as the imf concluded last week, it is helping lower income families, overwhelmingly first-timebuyers outside london, to buy homes priced well below the national average.
it is not fuelling house price inflation in london or at the top of the market.
it is helping families, and that is how we intend to keep it.
so today i’ve taken big new steps to protect financial stability, strengthen the new role ofthe bank of england and completed the range of tools at their disposal.
this addresses the economic problem of how we stop rising house prices leading to anunsustainable rise in household indebtedness, and threatening the wider economy.
but it does not address the social problem of how we stop young families being priced out ofthe housing market altogether.
that requires a third pillar to our housing strategy, alongside the clear analysis and newfinancial weapons.
we need to see a lot more homes being built in britain.
the growing demand for housing has to be met by growing supply.
the alternative, as in any market, is that prices will rise so that homes become unaffordable tomany of our citizens and take up ever more of their incomes.
we’ve already taken big steps to deliver those new homes.
we’ve reformed our antiquated planning system.
the changes were hard –fought and controversial, like all things worth battling for in politics,and now they are already starting to work.
last week we saw permissions for new homes rising by 20% in a year.
we’ve got the biggest programme of new social housing in a generation; we’re regeneratingthe worst of our housing estates; and we’ve got the first garden city for almost a centuryunderway in ebbsfleet.
now we need to do more. much more.
we have beautiful landscapes, and they too are part of the inheritance of the ne_t generation.to preserve them, we must make other compromises.
if we want to limit development on important green spaces, we have to remove all theobstacles that remain to development on brown field sites.
today we do that with these radical steps.
councils will be required to put local development orders on over 90% of brownfield sites thatare suitable for housing.
this urban planning revolution will mean that in effect development on these sites will bepre-approved – local authorities will be able to specify the type of housing, not whether thereis housing.
and it will mean planning permission for up to 200,000 new homes – while at the same timeprotecting our green spaces.
tomorrow, boris johnson and i will jointly set out plans for new housing zones across londonbacked by new infrastructure, so that we see thousands of new homes for london families.
and we’ll take the same approach in the rest of the country; with almost half a billion poundsof financial assistance in total set aside to make it work.
now i suspect there will be people who object to new building, even on the brownfields of ourcities.
but let me be clear.
i will not stand by and allow this generation, many of whom have been fortunate enough toown their own home, to say to the ne_t generation: we’re pulling up the property ladderbehind us.
so we will build the houses britain needs so that more families can have the economic securitythat comes with home ownership.
and today i will give the bank of england the powers it needs over mortgages, so that britain’seconomic stability always comes first. and that is what our long term economic plan isdelivering.
lord mayor, ladies and gentlemen,
insisting on the integrity of our financial markets.
confronting the risks from our housing market.
tackling the long term challenge of housing supply.
these are the further actions i take today to ensure that we learn from the mistakes of the pastand build a resilient economy for all.
these last four years have required difficult decisions.
we embarked on the hard task of rebuilding our economy; and making sure our country couldpay its way in the world.
that task is not complete.
our national prosperity is not yet secure.
but if we carry on working through our long term economic plan then we can say withconfidence that brighter days lie ahead.

i want to wish jewish communities, within britain and around the world, a happy and peaceful passover.
this is a time when families and friends gather round the seder table to remember thestruggles of the jewish people to secure their freedom. every year, they tell this story to theirchildren so it is never forgotten.
and what this ancient journey shows us is the enduring power of people to overcome eventhe greatest of adversity and build a better future together. and, during this celebration, we’rereminded of all those people still suffering oppression, because of their religious beliefs, raceor creed.
that cannot be right and passover is a chance for all of us to commit ourselves again to helpingthose – of all faiths and none – who face persecution around the world.
it’s also an opportunity for us to recognise the contribution britain’s jewish communitiesmake to every area of our society.
thank you and chag sameach.

today, i’m wearing my red ribbon with pride for world aids day. in the last thirty years, since the first cases of hiv were discovered, we’ve travelled a huge distance in terms of research and treatment. not least because advances in medication now mean that, if diagnosed and treated early enough, people living with hiv can live just as long as people without it.
in the uk we’re committed to tackling the global impacts of this disease – the ambition hasto be a future with zero new infections and aids-related deaths. that’s why last year weinvested £1 billion in the global fund to fight aids, tb and malaria. this money is helpinghundreds of thousands of people around the world get lifesaving treatment.
but, of course, there is still a long way to go. and while the science has moved on, too manypeople’s attitudes have not. one in three people living with hiv say that they havee_perienced discrimination, because of their condition. that’s simply unacceptable. so, thisworld aids day, please visit hivaware.org.uk to get the facts about hiv and tell the people youknow.
it’s critical that people have the right information, and that the ne_t generation – throughgood se_ education – understand the facts. together, by wearing your red ribbon and tweetingyour support using the hashtag put a ribbon on it, we can help break down the stigma thatstill surrounds this condition and show that there’s just no place for this kind of discriminationin modern britain. so please get involved.
today, let’s all do our bit.

this week in manchester we’veshown this party is on the side of hardworking people.
helping young people buy theirown home.
getting the long-term unemployedback to work.
freezing fuel duty.
backing marriage.
cutting the deficit.
creating jobs.
creating wealth.
make no mistake: it is this partywith the verve, energy and ideas to take our countryforward…
…and i want to thank everyonehere for the great week we’ve had.
when we came to office, we faceda clear and daunting task: to turn our country around.
in may 2024, the needle on thegauge was at crisis point.
people were talking about ourcountry in a way they had not done for decades.
but three and a half years later,we are beginning to turn the corner.
the deficit is falling.
our economy is growing.
the numbers of our fellowcountrymen and women in work are rising.
we are not there yet, not by along way.
but, my friends, we are on ourway.
i want to thank the people whohave done the most to get us this far.
you. the british people.
never giving up. working thosee_tra hours. coping with those necessary cuts.
you. british business. you keptpeople on in the hard times. invested before you knew forcertain that thingswere getting better.
together – we are clearing up themess that labour left.
but i have a simple question, tothe people in this hall and beyond it.
is that enough?
is it enough that we just clearup labour’s mess and think ‘job done’?
is it enough to just fi_ whatwent wrong?
i say – no. not for me.
this isn’t job done; it is jobbegun.
i didn’t come into politics justto fi_ what went wrong, but to build something right.
we in this party – we don’t dreamof deficits and decimal points and dry fiscal plans
…our dreams are about helpingpeople get on in life…
…aspiration, opportunity…
…these are our words, our dreams.
so today i want to talk about ourone, abiding mission…
…i believe it is the greatconservative mission…
… that as our economy starts torecover…
…we build a land of opportunityin our country today.
now, i know, it’ll be tough.
but i know we’ve got what ittakes in this party.
some people say “can’t be done” –conservatives say “what’s to stop us?”
they said we couldn’t getterrorists out of our own country.
well – theresa knew otherwise...
...and that’s why abu qatada hadhis very own may day this year...
…didn’t it feel good seeing himget on that plane?
some people said the nhs wasn’tsafe in our hands.
well – we knew otherwise.
who protected spending on thenhs? not labour – us.
who started the cancer drugsfund? not labour – us.
and by the way – who presidedover mid staffs…
…patients left for so longwithout water, they were drinking out of dirty vases...
...people’s grandparents lyingfilthy and unwashed for days.
who allowed that to happen? yes,it was labour...
...and don’t you dare lectureanyone on the nhs again.
and some people say a lot ofthings on europe.
you’ll never be able to veto aneu treaty.
you’ll never cut the budget.
and if you did these things–you’d have no allies in europe.
well we’ve proved them wrong.
i vetoed that treaty…
…i got britain out of the eubail-out scheme…
…and yes – i cut that budget.
and in doing all this, we haven’tlost respect – we’ve won allies to get powers back fromeurope.
that is what we will do...
...and at the end of it – yes –we will give the british people their say in a referendum.
that is our pledge. it will beyour choice: in or out.
britain in the world
and friends, you know whatsomeone said about us recently?
apparently some russian officialsaid: britain is “just a small island that no-one pays anyattention to.”
really?
let me just get this off mychest.
when the world wanted rights, whowrote magna carta?
when they wanted representation,who built the first parliament?
when they looked for compassion,who led the abolition of slavery?
when they searched for equality,who gave women the vote?
when their freedom was in peril,who offered blood, toil, tears and sweat?
and today – whose music do theydance to?
whose universities do they flockto?
whose football league do theywatch?
whose e_ample of tolerance…
…of people living together fromevery nation, every religion, young and old, straight andgay…
…whose e_ample do they aspire to?
i haven’t even got on to the factthat this small island beat russia in the olympics lastyear…
…or that the biggest-sellingvodka brand in the world isn’t russian, it’s british – smirnoff –made in fife…
...so yes, we may be a smallisland…
…but i tell you what, we’re agreat country.
but i want to make a seriouspoint about our place in the world.
following that vote on syria inthe house of commons, some people said it was time forbritain to re-think ourrole.
i’m sorry – but i don’t agree.
if we shrunk from the world wewould be less safe and less prosperous.
the role we play, theorganisations we belong to...
... and yes – the fact ourdefence budget remains the 4th largest in the world...
...all this is not about nationalvanity – it’s about our national interest.
when british citizens –ourfathers, mothers, daughters– are in danger...
...whether that’s in the desertsof algeria or the city of nairobi…
…then combatting internationalterrorism – it matters to us.
when five of the world’s fastestgrowing economies are african…
…then trading with africa – andyes helping africa to develop with aid – that matters to us.
and at the heart of all this work– the finest foreign secretary i could ask for: williamhague.
around the world, we really domatter as a united kingdom…
…england, wales, northern irelandand scotland.
the date of the referendum hasbeen set. the decision is for scotland to make.
all the arguments about oureconomy, jobs, currency – i believe they make an unanswerablecase for the uk.
but today i want a more simplemessage to go out to all the people of scotland.
from us here in this hall, fromme, from this party, from this country, from england, wales,northern ireland…
…and it’s this:
we want you to stay.
we want to stick together.
think of all we’ve achievedtogether – the things we can do together.
the nations – as one.
our kingdom – united.
for 12 years now, men and womenfrom all parts of these islands have been serving theircountry in afghanistan.
ne_t year, the last of our combattroops will be coming home...
...having trained up the afghansto look after their own country.
more than a decade of war.
sacrifice beyond measure – fromthe finest and bravest armed forces in the world.
and i want us to stand, to raisethe roof in here, to show just how proud of those men andwomen we are.
thatcher
we in this room are a team.
and this year, we said goodbye toone of our team.
margaret thatcher made ourcountry stand tall again, at home and abroad.
rescuing our economy. givingpower to our people. spreading home ownership. creatingwork. winning the coldwar. saving the falklands.
i asked her about her recordonce.
i was sitting ne_t to her at adinner – and i was really nervous.
as ever she was totally charming,she put me at ease...
...but after a while i said:“margaret, if you had your time in government again, is thereanything you’d dodifferently?”
and she turned to me and said:“you know, i think i did pretty well the first time around.”
well we can all agree with that –and we can all agree on this...
...she was the greatestpeace-time prime minister our country has ever had.
labour’s mess
margaret thatcher had an almightymess to clear up when she came to office…
…and so did we.
we will never forget what wefound.
the biggest budget deficit in ourpeace-time history.
the deepest recession since thesecond world war.
but it wasn’t just the debt anddeficit labour left…
…it was who got hurt.
millions coming here fromoverseas while millions of british people were left on welfare.
the richest paying lower ta_rates than their cleaners.
unsustainable, debt-fuelled banksbooming – while manufacturing withered away.
the north falling further behind.
towns where a quarter of peoplelived on benefits.
schools where 8 out of 10children didn’t get five decent gcses.
yes, they were famously“intensely rela_ed” about people getting filthy rich…
...but tragically, they were also“intensely rela_ed” about people staying stuck on welfareyear after year...
…“intensely rela_ed” aboutchildren leaving school without proper qualifications so theycouldn’t hope toget a job at the end of it.
that was it.
that was what they left.
the casino economy meets thewelfare society meets the broken education system...
…a country for the few built bythe so-called party of the many…
…and labour: we will never letyou forget it.
our mission
these past few years have been areal struggle.
but what people want to know nowis: was the struggle worth it?
and here’s the honest answer.
the struggle will only be worthit if we as a country finish the job we’ve started.
finishing the job meansunderstanding this.
our economy may be turning thecorner – and of course that’s great.
but we still haven’t finishedpaying for labour’s debt crisis.
if anyone thinks that’s over,done, dealt with - they’re living in a fantasy land.
this country’s debt crisis,created by labour, is not over.
after three years of cuts, westill have one of the biggest deficits in the world.
we are still spending more thanwe earn.
we still need to earn more andyes, our government still needs to spend less.
i see that labour have stoppedtalking about the debt crisis and now they talk about thecost of livingcrisis.
as if one wasn’t directly relatedto the other.
if you want to know what happensif you don’t deal with a debt crisis...
...and how it affects the cost ofliving...
...just go and ask the greeks.
so finishing the job meanssticking to our course until we’ve paid off all of labour’s deficit,not justsome of it.
and yes – let’s run a surplus sothat this time we fi_ the roof when the sun is shining...
...as george said in thatbrilliant speech on monday.
to abandon deficit reduction nowwould throw away all the progress we’ve made.
it would put us back to squareone.
unbelievably, that’s e_actly whatlabour now want to do.
how did they get us into thismess?
too much spending, too muchborrowing, too much debt.
and what did they propose lastweek?
more spending, more borrowing,more debt.
they have learned nothing –literally nothing – from the crisis they created.
but finishing the job is aboutmore than clearing up the mess we were left.
it means building somethingbetter in its place.
in place of the casino economy,one where people who work hard can actually get on.
in place of the welfare society,one where no individual is written off.
in place of the broken educationsystem, one that gives every child the chance to rise up andsucceed.
our economy, our society,welfare, schools…
...all reformed, all rebuilt -with one aim, one mission in mind:
to make this country, at longlast and for the first time ever, a land of opportunity for all.
for all.
so it makes no difference whetheryou live in the north or in the south, whether you’re blackor you’re white, aman or a woman, the school you went to, the background you have, whoyourparents were…
...what matters is the effort youput in, and if you put the effort in you’ll have the chance tomake it.
that’s what the land ofopportunity means.
that’s what finishing the jobmeans.
of course i know that others in politicsmay talk about these things.
but wishing for something, caringabout something - that’s not enough.
you can’t conjure up a dynamiceconomy, a strong society, fantastic schools all with thestroke of aminister’s pen.
it takes a mi_ture of hard work,common sense and – above all – the right values.
when the left say: you can’te_pect too much from the poorest kids; don’t ask too muchfrom people onwelfare; business is the problem, not the solution…
…here in this party we say:that’s just wrong.
if you e_pect nothing of peoplethat does nothing for them.
yes, you must help people – butyou help people by putting up ladders that they can climbthrough their ownefforts.
you don’t help children succeedby dumbing down education…
...you help them by pushing themhard.
good education is not aboutequality of outcomes but bringing the best out of every singlechild.
you don’t help people by leavingthem stuck on welfare…
...but by helping them stand ontheir own two feet.
why? because the best way out ofpoverty is work – and the dignity that brings.
we know that profit, wealthcreation, ta_ cuts, enterprise...
...these are not dirty, elitistwords – they’re not the problem...
...they really are the solutionbecause it’s not government that creates jobs, it’s businesses…
…it’s businesses that get wagesin people’s pockets, food on their tables, hope for theirfamilies and successfor our country.
there is no shortcut to a land ofopportunity. no quick fi_. no easy way to do it.
you build it business by business,school by school, person by person…
...patiently,practically, painstakingl

thank you very much, lord levy, for your e_tremely kind introduction and, to lionel, for giving your time to entertain us this evening. i imagine this crowd is a lot rowdier than what you will have at glastonbury.
ladies and gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to join you this evening for your birthdaycelebrations. nearly two hundred years ago, in 1819, there were two quite monumental births.the first was monumental for my family – the birth of my great, great, great, greatgrandmother, queen victoria, who went on to live 81 years and whose daughter-in-law,ale_andra, gave her name to this amazing building.
the second remarkable birth was of an organisation, which later became known as the jewishblind society. over the ne_t two centuries, the world changed considerably. yet there hasalways been one constant in the united kingdom – a jewish community which has organiseditself to support those who need help and support. whether in the time of the jewish board ofguardians, or the jewish welfare board or, in our generation, jewish care, there is a proud storyto be told of self-reliance and communal responsibility.
this common thread through history – of caring for one another and generosity of time andmoney – is something that many sectors of british society can be rightly proud of. but you inthis room deserve particular praise. the results of your commitment to one another withinthe jewish community are obvious – the real and loving care that thousands of elderly andvulnerable people receive, among the many works that you carry out.
your care for one another has another, less tangible value. during a year when many in thejewish community have had cause to feel under threat, for no reason other than simply thefact of your jewishness, your unity is all the more precious. your commitment and loyalty toone another, and to society more widely, is ultimately what keeps you strong.
i was reminded before i came here tonight that an ancestor of mine, a previous duke ofcambridge in fact, visited the great synagogue in london in 1809 and attended a sabbathservice there with his brothers.
it is a matter of great pride that these bonds in our society run as deep as they run long.
your care for one another is not just a feeling, but it is – as we are reminded tonight – amaterial fact. i know that jewish care is viewed as a leader in the social care field and uses itsknowledge, e_pertise and e_perience to engage in the debate on high-quality care, especiallyin relation to dementia.
your holocaust survivors centre is a second home for many people who were liberated 70 yearsago from those evil places.
all of you in this room, in some way, play your part in making all this happen through thisoutstanding organisation. through your generosity and commitment, i am sure jewish carewill continue to thrive and grow for the ne_t 25 years.
once again, congratulations on everything you have achieved. i wish you a wonderful eveningand a happy birthday.
mazel tov.

good morning everybody.
angelina jolie and i are delighted to welcome you to the global summit to end se_ual violencein conflict.
we began campaigning, as you probably know, two years ago because we believe the time hascome to end the use of rape in war once and for all, and we believe it can be done.
we are convinced this is an issue of international peace and security, that is central toconflict prevention, that it is fundamental to the advancement of women’s rightseverywhere, and above all that it is a moral issue for our generation.
for centuries the rape of women, girls, men and boys has been a feature of conflict andwarfare.
these crimes have been taking place on a vast scale without many people even being aware ofit.
and today the facts are beginning to emerge for all to see, thanks to courageous survivors,ngos, journalists, doctors and activists, many of whom are already here today.
we know how few of these crimes have ever been punished, but because of the impunity, theycontinue today in syria, south sudan and the central african republic, to name just a fewe_amples.
what would it say about britain or any other nation if, knowing all this, we chose not to act, wechose to do nothing?
as was said of slavery in the 18th century:
now we know the facts, we cannot turn aside.
and so this week, we are bringing together here governments, e_perts, civil society, survivorsand members of the public here at the e_cel centre, in an unprecedented concentration ofeffort and attention on this issue:
today, we are hosting young people from across the world to discuss all the issues and to makerecommendations to the ministers, before the ministers get here.
tomorrow, over 1,000 e_perts and activists will take part in a multitude of events to addressissues from collecting evidence, to protecting children, to tackling se_ual e_ploitation.
and on thursday, more than 117 countries, 70 ministers, several heads of state, many faithleaders from across the world will gather here.
we want this summit to shatter the culture of impunity for se_ual violence, to increasesupport for survivors and to start changing the situation on the ground in the most affectedcountries. there are a whole range of practical actions that we want to achieve:
we will launch an international protocol that sets out how to document and investigatese_ual violence, so that those on the ground have the best tools to collect information andevidence to bring perpetrators to justice.
we will ask countries to strengthen their laws so that there are no safe havens for thoseresponsible for warzone se_ual violence, we will also urge all countries to train soldiers andpeace-keepers to prevent and respond to se_ual violence more effectively.
we want countries to commit new funds for tackling se_ual violence in conflict-affectedcountries like somalia and the democratic republic of congo, to do more to protect womenand girls in humanitarian emergencies, and to increase their support for human rightsdefenders who campaign for justice and help for survivors.
and i am pleased to announce this morning that the uk will pledge a further £6 million tosupport survivors of se_ual violence in conflict – a further £6 million to help them rebuildtheir lives and rebuild communities.
but governments alone cannot end se_ual violence in conflict, so this is much more than justa meeting of ministers.
we also want to help achieve a change in attitudes all over the world to these crimes – and youare part of changing those attitudes.
we want to shift the stigma from survivors onto the perpetrators of these crimes, so that they– not the innocent victims – bear the stigma.
we want to encourage men to speak out, we want to encourage men to speak out – to agreewith us that it is only a weak or inadequate man who abuses women. it is not, it’s not a sign ofstrength, it is the ultimate weakness and shame.
we want to draw attention to the hidden survivors of se_ual violence, all those who have feltunable to speak out and who have suffered in silence including men and boys.
we want people around the world to understand the scale of the problem and the urgent needfor action, to recognise the damage it does to international peace and security and to bemobilised and inspired to work within their societies and with us to bear down on this terribleinjustice.
so each hour for the ne_t 84 hours a british diplomatic post somewhere in the world will beholding an event to mirror what we are doing here in london. this event is round the clock allround the world. and i hope you will help us ensure that over the ne_t three and a half daysthat this summit reaches the whole world.
we encourage anyone who cares about this issue to visit and to take part with us here: to seethe multitude of e_hibitions, performances and films that are on show, and to join in thediscussions here physically and on social media.
i believe that foreign policy is no longer the sole preserve of governments, that we all need towork together in new ways to tackle global problems and this summit is an e_ample of ourdetermination as the united kingdom to champion that.
angelina and i want to thank all the organisations, performers, activists and individuals heretoday for your inspiring work and your contributions to this effort, and we will urge all theministers to visit and see the e_hibitions.
there are some people who say that these problems are so vast that our efforts will be in vain,but they fail to understand what governments, international organisations, civil society andpublic opinion can achieve when we all pull in the same direction.
from the abolition of slavery to the adoption of the arms trade treaty, we have shown that theinternational community can tackle vast global problems in a way that was once consideredto be impossible.
there is power in numbers and if we unite behind this cause we can create an unstoppablemomentum and consign this vile abuse to history.
with every injustice in the world, with every injustice in the world, a moment comes when thetide turns, when the pressure of public opinion and political will reaches a tipping point.
we have a remarkable opportunity over these ne_t few days to build the momentumneeded to tip the world past that point of no return, so that through hard work andcommitment over the coming years we can remove warzone rape from the world’s arsenal ofcruelty.
we can’t do this overnight, we can’t do it overnight. for the british government, and forangelina and for me personally, this summit is not the end of the road for our work, it is inmany ways just the beginning.
over the ne_t few years we must go on to show that what we agree here in london can make abig practical difference.
so in opening the fringe and the e_hibitions this morning, we hope you will all work with us andbe part of this historic endeavour.
i am grateful to you all for being here.
thank you very much indeed.
