‘I’m Theresa May and I’m the best person to be Prime Minister’

‘My pitch is very simple, I’m Theresa May and I think I’m the best person to be Prime Minister’, she said. here’s the rest of the speech: I want to start by paying tribute to the Prime Minister. It’s easy to forget how far the Conservative Party and our country have come since David Cameron was first elected leader in 2005. Thanks to David we were elected into government for the first time in 18 years, we won a majority in the House of Commons for the first time in 23 years and in difficult times we stabilised the economy, reduced the deficit and helped more people into work than ever before. But David’s legacy is about more than the economic rescue mission we undertook. Some of our biggest achievements, including the introduction of same sex marriage and taking the lowest paid out of income tax altogether, they’ve been all about the pursuit of social justice.
