Theresa May: PM's conference speech - BBC News
Prime Minister Theresa May makes her keynote speech to the Conservative party conference in Birmingham.
The prime minister says the Conservative government has the potential to improve the lives of everyone in society "but only if we take the right decisions now".

She says, "some communities have been left behind. We're all worse off when any part of us has been left back."

"We are investing in infrastructure. We are doing more than anyone since the Victorians to upgrade our railways. Our road-building programme is the largest since the 1970s."

Discussing the Conservative plan for an economy that works for everyone, the prime minister says the Conservatives will "fix markets not destroy them, help with the cost of living, and end austerity".

She says "this is a moment of opportunity for our party. To champion decency in our politics.

"To honour the result of the referendum. To come together to make a success of the decision we took."

She says "our future is in our hands, together let's seize it, together let's build a better Britain."
