Liz Truss announced to the audience at the end of her address that she is “ready to make difficult decisions.”
She tells her supporters that “you can trust me to do what it takes”, adding that “the status quo is not an option”.
Ms Truss continues: “That is why we cannot give into the voices of decline. We cannot give in to those who say Britain can’t grow faster.
“We cannot give in to those who say we can’t do better. We must stay the course.
“We are the only party with a clear plan to get Britain moving. We are the only party with the determination to deliver.
“Together, we can unleash the full potential of our great country. That is how we will build a new Britain for a new era.”
