The task that stands before us is tough but simple. Our first responsibility as
00:06
His Majesty's loyal opposition is to hold this Labour government to account.
00:14
Our second is no less important. It is to prepare over the course of the next few years
00:21
for government, to ensure that by the time of the next election we have not just a clear set
00:28
of Conservative pledges that appeal to the British people, but a clear plan for how to implement
00:34
them. A clear plan to change this country by changing the way that government works.
00:40
The Prime Minister is discovering all too late the perils of not having such a plan.
00:46
That huge job begins today. It will seek to involve all of our colleagues in Parliament,
00:53
in the Scottish Parliament, the Senate, our friends in Northern Ireland, as well as councillors and
00:58
party members. But this is not just about the Conservative Party. It is about the people we
01:04
want to bring back to the Conservative Party. It is about the people we need to bring into
01:09
the Conservative Party. It is about what the Conservative Party needs to be over the next 5,
01:15
10 and 20 years. Our party is critical to the success of our country, but to be heard
01:22
we have to be honest. Honest about the fact that we made mistakes. Honest about the fact
01:29
that we let standards slip. The time has come to tell the truth. The time has come to tell the truth,
01:36
to stand up for our principles, to plan for our future, to reset our politics and our thinking,
01:43
and to give our party and our country the new start that they deserve. It is time to get down
01:49
to business. It is time to renew. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
