Privilege. [applause] ththere was a privilege to serve in her c cabinet and see the. Assion and determination i wawant to thank all of you for your hard work, campaigngning, d the privilege youu have conferrd on me. I know that therere will be peoe around t the place who will question the wisdom of your decision. [laughter] there may be some people here who wonder what they have done. I would point out to you, know one party or person has a monopoly of wisdom. If you look at the history of the last 200 years of this hadys existence, we have the best insights, i think, into human nature. How to manage the jostling sets of instincts in the human heart. Us thed again, it is people have turned to get the balance right between the instinct to own your own house, to earn and spend your own money , to look after your own family, good instincts, proper instincts, noble instincts, and the instinct to share and give everyone a fair chance in life, and look after the poorest and the neediest and to build a great society. In the last 200 years, it is we who have understood how to encocourage those instincts to Work Together in harmony to promote the good of the whole country. Moment ins pivotal our history, we have to reconcile two sets of instincts between the deep desire for friendship and free trade and mutual support and security and defense between britain and our european partners, and the simultaneous desirire, equally deep and heartfelt, the democratic selfgovernment in this country. Say, t they cannot be done. In my Financial Times this i read there are no incoming leaders who has ever faced such a daunting set of circumstances. I look at you this morning and ask myself, do you look daunted . Do you feel daunted . I do not think you look remotely daunted. We know we can do it and the people of this country are trusting in us to do it and we know we will do it. Thenow the mantra of campaign that has gone by, in case you have forgotten it, you probably have. Brexit, unite the country and defeat jeremy corbyn, and that is what we are going to do. We are going t to defeat jeremy corbyn. I know that the Campaign Slogan ,as not good, defeat, unite because it spells done spells dud, but they forgot the final ee, energize. We are going to have better education, infrastructure and, broadband,. We are going to ununite this country and take it forward. I thank yoyou for the honor you have done me. I will work flat out with my team. I hope to repay your confidence and in the meantime, the workign is over and the begins. Thank you. [applause] genie the campaign is over in the work begins. Leader, theervative new Prime Minister in britain. He should get that privilege starting tomorrow when theresa may officially resigns. London. To your reaction . The campaign is over. The work begins. Deliver brexit, defeat jeremy corbyn, unite the country. That is the strong message. Hat is the strong message Boris Johnson is the conservative leader and will kingdomhe next united Prime Minister. 87. 4 ofen elected by the 160,000 membership interesting to note there were some 500 or so spoiled ballots. That is not the important issue. The important issue is the party has a new leader, that theresa may will be leaving office tomorrow at lunchtime. She will go after prime. Inisters questions she will make a brief speech in downing street and go to the palace and tend to her resignation and then it will be for Boris Johnson, who will be invited to go to the palace. As he leaves, he will leave it as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It is very clear he has 100 days to deliver the brexit he is talking about. He thinks he can renegotiate another deal. Eut is not the way the other countries see it. As for uniting the party, we ministersr cabinet pmqse resigning a after tomorrow after theresa may gets her resignation. Withinople do not agree the conservative party with its do or die and this no deal position Boris Johnson has promised. The United Kingdom, having failed after two years having said it would leave on the 29th of 2019, in order to deliver the people,of the british given over three years ago. Seeill be interesting to who becomes chancellor, who becomes defense secretary, foreign secretary. Rival,e keep his former jeremy hunt, because of the ongoing iran crisis . Domestic issues wiwill be important and it will be interesting. Boris johnson will be giving a speech in Parliament Thursday morning and that will be interesting to see. Thursday evening, mps s will ben holiday. Time for borissome johnson to be working on those negotiations without eu countries. A v very tall order, but comfortable win for Boris Johnson. The campaign is over. The work begins. He is the Prime Minister elects, becomeader, and will Prime Minister on wednesday afternoon. Boris johnson was elected by the conservative party, w whh represents a small part of the british population. Jeremy corbyn says Boris Johnson has not won the support of our country. Tricky math equation for Boris Johnson. Does he have the numbers to try to do what he says he is going to do . The numbers. T have although the Prime Minister is changing, what is not are the palm and terry arithmetic. T the parliamentary arithmet. They have e made it clear it waa confidence and supply arrangement. That arrangement was with theresa may. They feel they need to renegotiate their confidence apply with the new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. Math as it have the stands. The former attorney general, he is not the only one. He looks likely to be accompanied by people like the , philip chancellor hammond,d, who announces resignation live on sunday. There will be others. There will be an attempt. That they willed vote for their country as opposed to their party. There is going to be real fireworks. Work onviting them to brexitit. Can he do o it . Catherine nicholson was liststening to those words from Boris Johnson with great interest. Has there been r reaction frfroe eu . Early reaction from michellee garnrnier. Michelle barn yay michelle barnier. He specifies he works on facilitating the ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement and achieving an ordederly brexit. Perhaps some Wishful Thinking there. He says we are ready to rework the political declaration, the acaccompanying document that cae with the withdrawal a agreementa slimmer document that is not legally binding and there has been talk of tweaking that from the eu side. He is essentially repeating what we have heard up to now from the eu side. Euy want to work with the constructively. How firm is this deadline . As things stand, it is the deadline. Of tough arguing going on. Know there was a differing opinion among the eu heads of state about whether to give an extension at all. Right now, nobody talking about wanting a new extension to the brexit process. We have heard from the Incoming European Commission president that she would be willing to consider the idea of an extension if there were good reasons to do so. Aod reasons to do so means general election in the United Kingdom or a new referendum on brexitit. Thosose would be to big things. Neither is scheduled on the cards. Genie has there been any no deal perhapsps if were g going towards a no deal exit . Absolutely. They said it had completed its brexit preparedness program. ,t published a lot of documents this is about air transport, ecommerce, all sorts of areas where eu l law touches on life d trade with the eu they are putting in place temporary measures that would last nine to 12 months in the event of a no deal. In terms of citizens rights, that is done for each member state. There is a lot of preparation being done, but a lot of uncertainty around a no deal. The headline quotes. Here is the detatail broken down for you and the latest installment of the online series, brexwhat . Boris johnson said he would be more likelyly to o be reincarnated as an olive. Has ambition and grabbed the top job in u. K. Politics. Messy politics aside, what will Boris Johnson premiership mean for brexit . Boris has b been backed by hard brexiteersrs in his conservative party. Outs johnhnson pledged to g get of the eu by the 31st of october. U. K. Lawmakers go on holiday fromom the 25th of july until te thirdd of septemember. There is very little time to renegotiate a deal. They have already signaled it is renegotiation. Is hopeful the eu is bluffing, but many suspect he tweaked and sell a version and use his charisma to push it through parliament. That is if he gets that far. He could face an early vote of noconfidence, a card played by mps who believe a no deal brexit would be highly damaging. We shoululd note Boris Johnson s not ruled out trying to suspendd British Parliament to push brexit through by halloween. That would be a constitutional crisis. Plenty more to come on brexit. Ststay tuned. Genie you are watchching france 24. Wewe are going to take a quiuick break and we will be back for the latest on Boris Johnson.
