Theresa May’s pledge to boost social mobility and create a Britain that works for everyone was the highlight of her speech.
Theresa may is Britain’s new female Prime minister impressively laid out her well-considered plans to bring the best out of Britain under her leadership.
Her pledge to tackle burning injustices was as breathtaking as her cool-headed judgement in the various appointments she made to her Cabinet.
Not many would have thought she would resurrect former Mayor, Boris Johnson, from the political demise cruelty inflicted on him by the former fellow aspirant, Andrew Gove. It is also fair to say Johnson had unwittingly provoked his own betrayal by acting shady and turning his back on promised tweets and scheduled speeches.
This, especially with the reservations she herself had of Boris Johnson. Johnson inadvertently contributed to his own betrayal by acting shady in turning his back on agreed tweets and cancelling agreed scheduled speeches at the last moment.
However, TheresaMay showed her class in keeping and effectively promoting Johnson to the role of Foreign Secretary, despite the fact he led the Brexit campaign in the referendum.
Theresa May’s promise to reverse negative trends in society was also impressive. The idea that that born poor were more likely to die nine years younger than otherwise would have been new to many of us, though a credible presumption.
She also impressively pledged to tackle other negative stereotypes. This includes the slimmer odds for working class people to go to University, those who attend state school to be less likely to rise to the top of their profession, black people being on the wrong end of the criminal justice system, women earning less than men.
It is yet to be seen how well she executes her amazing plans for the country. An immediate challenge that faces her will be negotiating a smart and reasonable deal with the 27countries that make up the European Union.
She has emphasised her commitment to carry out the will if the people in her famous speech, Brexit means Brexit. The country will hold her to it, and she will abide by her pledge.
