Every election is a choice, but the choice you face today is the most important in my lifetime. It will shape the future of our country for generations to come.

That’s why, however you have voted in the past, I urge you to support me today and strengthen my hand so that I can get the best deal for Britain when the negotiations begin in just 11 days.

Because the next five years will be crucial.

If we get Brexit right then together we can do great things. We can build a Britain that is stronger, fairer and more prosperous than it is today. A confident, self-governing country that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home.

And if you support me on Thursday, the work starts on Friday.

Time to respect the will of the people

For it is time to respect the will of the British people and get on with the job. I have the plan to do it: taking back control of our money so that we spend it on our priorities, our borders so that we control immigration and ensure the system serves our national interest, and our laws so that we make the decisions that matter to Britain here in Britain once again.

Forging a new deep and special partnership with the EU and allowing the freest possible trade between the UK and the EU. That is in our national interest and in the interests of the European Union too.

But that is not the limit of my ambition. I want us to fulfil the promise of Brexit together, too.

Making Britain stronger, so that everyone has the security they need to live a full and happy life.

Making Britain fairer, so that no one is left behind and every person has the chance to be all they want to be.

Making Britain more prosperous and ensuring that prosperity is fairly shared, so that no one is left behind and all can succeed.

That’s what I mean by the promise of Brexit. And that is the prize ahead if we get Brexit right.

Only a vote for the Conservatives will deliver that brighter future, for only we have the vision, the plan and the determination to get the right deal for Britain in Europe.

So in this unique and crucial election for our country, ask not who you have supported in the past but who has the strength to lead Britain forward to a brighter future.

Vote for me and my team today – strengthen my hand as I negotiate with Europe – and we can build a stronger, fairer, more prosperous Britain together.
