Theresa May’s record will be judged as much on the Britain she builds as the Brexit she delivers

 

Responding to the Prime Ministers’ speech to the Conservative Party Conference today (Wednesday), Torsten Bell, Director of the Resolution Foundation, said:

“Theresa May’s speech focused squarely on the right question, how to help Britain’s just managing families who have lost out in recent decades. For those families change has indeed got to come.

“But if that is the right question, what matters are the answers. While the speech was policy light the Prime Minister highlighted tackling our housing crisis, jobs insecurity and the squeeze on incomes that has left millions of families struggling to get by.

“Now comes the hard work of delivering the promised change on each of these areas and more, because after that speech Theresa May will know her record will be judged as much on the Britain she builds as the Brexit she delivers.”
