No Confidence in Her Majesty’s Government

Nigel Huddleston Excerpts

Wednesday 16th January 2019 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

The hon. Lady might recall that I made exactly that point when I became Prime Minister—that there were various reasons that people voted for Brexit, but that some people wanted a change in the way in which politics delivered for them. They felt that politicians were not listening to them, which is precisely why it is so important that we listen to and deliver on the result of the referendum for the people of this country—and this Government are delivering in a whole range of ways.

[Nigel Huddleston (Mid Worcestershire) (Con)]

I appreciate the positive, confident and optimistic picture of the future of the UK painted by the Prime Minister. What a contrast with the Leader of the Opposition, who takes every opportunity to talk Britain down. How on earth can somebody claim that they aspire to be Prime Minister if they have such utter lack of confidence in Britain and the British people?

[The Prime Minister]

Absolutely. Anybody who wants to be Prime Minister should believe in this country and in the talents of our people; that is so important.
