Good evening,

I have just come back from Buckingham Palace where Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to form a government. I have, with much gratitude and honour, accepted.

There is always a question when making a speech as to what the tone should be. Do I want to come across as stern and give a sense of stability? Or perhaps more as hopeful? On my way here tonight I thought about this and realised I could be both. I believe this government will bring the stability needed to tackle the cost of living crisis and I am hopeful that we can work together to uplift Britain into an age where we do not have to squabble along party lines, but instead where we can get things done.

I was elected leader of the Labour Party just over 40 days ago and I thought that would be the highest honour I would feel. I have led my party through internal reforms that have left the party in a far stronger position and I am confident in our ability to lead this government alongside our excellent partners in Coalition!, the Liberal Democrats, the NIIP, and TIG. Every single one of these parties is incredibly valued to me and I aim to lead us all into a government of sensible policy that doesn’t forget the working families and people of Great Britain.

I would be remiss if I did not give tribute to my immediate predecessor. SapphireWork did an incredible job out of the situation she had. Over the past week or so we haven’t just become party leaders who can work together, but we have become friends. I am proud to have her as my Deputy Prime Minister and believe we will accomplish great things together. Scubaguy194, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, is another great leader who I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with. He and I in the past have had passionate discussions on so many different topics and I cannot wait to see these translate into this government. The NIIP lead by model-avery and TIG lead by SpectacularSalad are also in this government and I am so delighted they have agreed to follow us into the Central Line. I believe every single one of us will do great things in this government and I am excited to get started.

Over the next couple of days, myself and my colleagues will get to work on providing stable and hopeful governance for the United Kingdom. Ours is a government of hope and stability.

Thank you.

The Rt Hon Sir model-raymondo CB KCMG PC MP

PRIME MINISTER
