Many members commended her leadership, expressed concern for boris johnson, and thanked her for her service. This is just over one hour. Order questions for the Prime Minister. Bruce cadbury. Question number one, mister speaker. Mister speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others following my duties in this house, this afternoon i have an audience with her majesty, the queen. I will continue my duties in this house in the back benches where i will be a member of parliament. Bruce cadbury. I profoundly disagree with many decisions the Prime Minister has made and many of the things she has said but i recognize that she does have a respect for Public Service and the future of our country. How does she feel about handing over to a man who among many things is happy to demonize women, is prepared to check our loyal Public Servants and diplomats under a bus, and promises to sell our country out to donald trump and his friends. I am pleased to hand over to an incoming leader of the conservative party and Prime Minister who i worked with when he was in my cabinet and is committed as a conservative, who stood on a conservative manifesto in 2017 to the delivering the vote of the british people in 2016 and delivering of Bright Future for this country. Blackburn. I rise to not only thank my right honorable friend for Loyal Service as Prime Minister over the last 3 years but also for her 33 years of Public Service which is a record to be proud of and to thank her for her personal support in helping me get my private members bill on the statute. Does my right honorable friend agree with me, to prevent people from becoming homeless, to use the taxation system to combat obesity and prevent people from it in the first place. Can i thank him for all the work he did on homelessness reduction and crucially we are seeing that act having an impact and that is so important for people benefiting from the work he did. He is doing a lot of work as far as smoking and health and i agree we need to view health as an asset to protect throughout our lives and that is why we are taking action on smoking and Childhood Obesity and we have delivered the biggest ever cash boost in the history of the National Health service in the longterm plan will focus on prevention, also focusing on Mental Health and making sure we are trying not to get into a situation where they are in that in the first place, preventing smoking, preventing obesity. Jeremy corbin. Today, today marks the final day in office of the Prime Minister and i pay tribute to her sense of public duty, Public Service should always be recognized. Being an mp, minister or Prime Minister is an honor that brings with it huge responsibility and huge pressures both personally and i am sure the Prime Minister and the whole house would agree on those closest to us who are not able to answer the criticisms made against them. I hope she has a marginally more relaxing time on the back benches and perhaps like the chancellor even helping me to oppose the reckless plans of her successor. [laughter] mister speaker, if i may continue, in the i am glad the Government Party is in such good heart today, mister speaker. Tomorrow they wont be. Mister speaker, in the last three years, Child Poverty has gone up. Pension poverty has gone up. In work poverty has gone up. Violent crime has gone up. Nhs waiting times of gone up. School class sizes have gone up. Homelessness has gone up. Food bank use has gone up. Does the Prime Minister have any regrets about any of those things i just said . Can i say to the right honorable gentlemen it is good to see the conservative party and the labour party. Let me tell the right honorable gentlemen about my record over the last three years and how i measure my record over the last three years, the opportunity for every child in a better school, in the comfort for every person who now has a job for the first time in their life. In the hope of every disadvantages young person able to go to university. And it is in the joy of every couple who can move into their own home because at its heart, politics, at its heart politics isnt about exchanges or eloquent speeches or media headlines, politics is about the difference we make every day to the people up and down the country. They are our reason for being here and we should never forget it. Politics is about real life and what people suffer in their ordinary lives and i didnt mention School Funding has gone down. Police numbers are down, gp numbers have fallen. In the 2017 conservative manifesto the Prime Minister promised no school would have its budget cut and they would protect tv licenses for 75 and rough sleeping which of these pleasures is the primacy most sorry has not been achieved . I am pleased to hear he spent some time Reading Conservative Party manifesto in 2017. Had he read it property, hes not known for reading documents. Had he read it properly, by 2022, to stop us leaving by 2027. Im pleased to say in the last year we have seen, we have seen particularly going down in those areas where this government has been taking action. Jeremy corbin. Dont know where the primacy get her figures from. All i know is i travel around this country just like other members of this house and talk to people who had a disaster in their lives and end up sleeping. We are the fifth richest country in the world. It is wrong for anyone to end up sleeping on the street of this country. We can and should do something about it. I have often disagreed with the Prime Minister and have many criticisms of her policies but i welcome the reduction in fixed odds betting terminals, the adoption of the Childrens Funeral Fund and stripping employment tribunal fees. Which of these policies is the Prime Minister most proud of . I am proud of all the policies we have introduced in improving peoples lives. Im proud of the fact through management of the economy we have done we have seen more people in work in this country than ever before. There are more children in outstanding schools, im proud of the fact that entertainment gap between the disadvantaged and advantaged has been narrowed under this government and proud of the fact that we are seeing the biggest cash boost in history in the National Health service. We are insuring the most beloved institution in this country will be there for people into the future. This is a conservative government delivering on things that matter to people in their daytoday lives. The Prime Minister may have noticed none of those things i mentioned were in the conservative Party Manifesto in 2017 but every one of them was a labor pledge in 2017. On brexit the Prime Ministers own red line ruled out any sensible compromise deal. Only after she missed her own deadline to leave did the Prime Minister even begin to shift her position but by then she no longer had the authority to deliver. Her successor has no mandate at all. Does she have confidence the right honorable member of oxbridge will succeed where she has not . I say to the right honorable gentlemen i worked tirelessly to get a good deal for the uk and also worked hard to get that deal through this parliament. I voted for the deal. What did the right honorable gentlemen do . He voted against the deal, he voted to make no deal more likely and when there was a prospect of reaching consensus across the house the right honorable gentlemen walked away. Every stage is only interest has been playing party politics. And frankly he should be ashamed of himself. Weve had three years of bungled negotiations and the spectacle of a Prime Minister coming into office with no electoral mandate looking for a brexit deal that has been ruled out by the European Union or the case of a no deal ruled out by the majority in this house and anyone who understands the danger to the british economy of a no deal. The next Prime Minister thought the isle of man was in the European Union and the European Union made rules about kippers. But in fact was made by the government that he was part of. He said the uk could secure tariff free trade article 24 of the general agreement on tariffs and trade despite the trade secretary attorney general, governor of the bank of england all confirming that is not possible. At the start of 2018 it is coming, dont worry. [shouting] the start of 2018, the Prime Minister herself set up a new unit to counter fake news charged with combating disinformation. How successful does she think that has been . I say to the right honorable gentlemen i fear our success has not been what we want it to be with the fake news and information that he used about that dispatch. Maybe, maybe, mister speaker, she could have a word with her successor on the way out but let me conclude by welcoming some [shouting] let me conclude by welcoming some of the Prime Ministers notable uturns over the past couple years. The cruel dimension attacks were scrapped, plans to bring back grammar schools were ditched, the threat to the pensions were abandoned, withdrawal of winter fuel payments was dumped, the pledge to bring back foxhunting was dropped. And the plan to end Universal School for 5 to 7yearolds. The Prime Minister has dumped her own manifesto given that her successor has no mandate from the people, no mandate to move into office. Doesnt she agree the best thing the right honorable member could do later on today when he takes office is to call a general election and let the people decide their future. [shouting] my first answer to the right honorable gentlemen is now. And if he wants to talk about people ducking manifesto commitment and commitments made during the general election campaign, remember what the labour party right honorable gentlemen said about student debt . 2 after the election . He rode back on that promise. In the general election, he was committed what did he say after the general election . He has broken promise after promise to the people of this country but i say to the right honorable gentlemen this is the last time we will have this exchange across these dispatch boxes. I was going to say the strength of our british democracy the Prime Minister and leader of the opposition have these exchanges across their dispatch boxes every week. No quarter is sought and none is given. That is as it should be in our adversarial parliamentary democracy. He and i are very different people and we are very different politicians. I think the issues we approach in this country in different ways, i spent all but one of my years in this house on the front bench trying to implement the policies i believe in. He spent most of his time on the back benches campaigning for what he believes and often against his own party. What i think we have in common is a commitment to our constituencies. I saw that after the terrorist attack in his constituency and perhaps i could finish my exchange with him by saying this. As a party leader who has accepted when her time was up perhaps the time is now for him to do the same. [shouting] dont be shy, mister davis, assert yourself, we must hear from you. Thank you, mister speaker. I first met the honorable member when she was campaigning for me in the difficult dark days of the late 1990s. She has been a great friend of wales ever since. And only recently her government approved a number of grand issues in wales. Can i ask the honorable member, the Prime Minister to encourage her successor to bring forward a bill to extend the general election franchise to all british citizens living overseas. Can i think my honorable friend for his remark and for highlighting the work the government has done in wales. I would add to that 95,000 people in wales who have a pay raise this year as a result of National Living wage and we have seen employment in wales rise 167,000 since 2010. We have seen conservatives delivering for wales. I know the concern about the franchise issues for overseas voters and im sure that is something my successor will wish to look at but i also say to my honorable friend i discovered a new part of his past recently which is i believe he was once the bodyguard to the legendary hollywood actress lauren but call but call bacall. Is redfaced tells us all. Ian blackburn. Thank you, mister speaker. Prime minister, it is fair to say we have had our differences. Its not always been a shared meeting of minds but will the Prime Minister stands today, the time for holding the Prime Minister to account has passed. The burdens of office are considerable, the loneliness of leadership can be stark. We have clashed on political differences and stood together, the threats to the uk, the Prime Minister has made sure the opposition leaders were informed at key moments of National Security and in particular chief of staff Gavin Barwell has major i was kept informed of important developments. I wish you the best for the future. As the Prime Minister departs, is she confident the office of Prime Minister can be upheld by her successor . Can i first of all say to the right honorable gentlemen, his remarks, he is absolutely right, he and i have a difference of opinion on some key issues that i would be grateful for the position on some of those key issues of National Security when it has stood alongside the government as we have faced the actions of our enemies and can i also say to the right honorable gentlemen that i understand the point he has made about keeping opposition leaders in such an taken place and also take this opportunity to pay tribute to gavin who was the first class member of this house, third class minister and has been a firstclass chief of staff. I congratulate my right honorable friend for winning the conservative leadership election. He will take over as Prime Minister and i look forward to a firstclass conservative government under his leadership delivering to the whole of the United Kingdom. The Prime Minister has no mandate in scotland. He has no mandate from the people. The government he is forming has no mandate in scotland. Scotland deserves better. 60 of people in scotland are dismayed and disappointed by the new Prime Minister. We on these benches have tabled an early day motion with friends across this house rejecting this house before the members. Following parliaments overwhelming message, one of her first actions to sign it every day motion and the suspension of parliament under any circumstances. Can i say to the right honorable gentlemen, we do have differences on a number of issues. We both have a passion for delivering to the people of scotland which is part of the United Kingdom, taking scotland out of the United Kingdom. Can i say to him what we do have in this government is a mandate from the people to form a government of this country. That is how we run things in a parliamentary democracy that we have in this country. We have a mandate to deliver the result of the 2016 referendum and if he wants to deliver a mandate for the bridge people he should have voted for the deal taking us out of the eu. An aspirational project, would create an off road providing an alternative commuting route encouraging tourism and cycling and the health of the local population. Does the primacy agree that more funding should be made available with other similar projects . Can i recognize the importance, it is important for Peoples Health and the environment and with the health on the environment so we have doubled spending on cycling and walking in england with infrastructure pan and local authorities to take a strategic approach to planning in local cycling. For transporting Economic Development and that is an issue that is supported. Mister speaker, in newcastle, no joy of that. And may take comfort from that but as she considers her choices, working with her successor, can i ask her to work to bring dignity and choice to others. She is a waspy woman. Will she dedicate Prime Ministerial retirement to justice for all . First of all we have put 1 Million Pounds extra into the Pension System recognizing concerns that were expressed but she references what im going to be doing in the future. I will be continuing in this house as a member of parliament to maidenhead. Michael fabricant. Im sure my honorable friends will join me saying how pleased i am with the Eco
