 The first step is the hardest, the challenge of what comes next, but the opportunities that come from stepping into the world make it worth it, no matter how big or small. The first step means something. Throughout the history of our country, the people who have taken bold steps are the ones who have taken Britain forward. The innovators, the entrepreneurs, the leaders. And now Britain is taking an ambitious leap into a brighter future, where the opportunities are immense. The vote to leave the EU was the largest democratic exercise ever conducted in the history of our great country. It was a vote for change, a vote for a future built on hope, not fear. A vote for the very best of what Britain is and can be. But in the last three years, nothing has changed and it's no wonder people are fed up with politicians. We are going to restore trust in our democracy. We will fulfil the promise Parliament made to the people. We will get Brexit done, because getting Brexit done means we can focus on Britain's priorities once again. Safer streets, with 20,000 new police officers over the next three years. Better education with more funding for every child. And improved hospitals with record investment in our NHS. The naysayers will tell you that this is a time of fear and uncertainty and doom, but they are wrong. This is a time of hope and opportunity, a time when our shared future has so much potential. Britain, an open, outward looking, dynamic free trading country, a country ever more united with better infrastructure, better education and new technology. That is the Britain that we can build together. The path before us leads to a brighter future, if we have the courage to take the first step.
