Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Press Conference at EU Council17 October 2019
Good evening, everybody.Thank you very much for coming along. This has been a very productive day for the UK in a sense that the European Council has approved the agreement that’s been negotiated over the last couple of months. And I thank them again very much for their work. I particularly thank Michel Barnier and his team. I thank Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the Commission, for all the personal effort that he has put in to getting this deal done. And I want to stress that this is a…a great deal for our country, for the UK.I also believe it’s a very good deal for our friends in the EU. And what it means is that we in the UK can come out of the EU as one United Kingdom – England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, together, and it means we can decide our future together, we can decide…we can take back control, as the phrase goes, of our money, our borders, our laws, together.And we will be able to do free trade agreements around the world. And we can also build now, after three and a half years, we can build now on our relations with our friends and partners in the EU.And it’ll be a very exciting period now, as it were, to get to that – the positive side of…of that project – the…the extraction having been done, the building now begins.And I’m very confident that when my colleagues in Parliament study this agreement, that they will want to vote for it on…on Saturday, and then in succeeding days.This is our chance in the UK as democrats to get Brexit done, and come out on October the 31st. This is our chance to focus on our priorities, the people’s priorities: the NHS, putting 20,000 police on the streets, lifting up funding of education across the country, the biggest expansion of the…of the living wage.Those are the things I think the people of our country want us to be focusing on in addition to Brexit. We…we’ve been at this now, as I say, for three and a half years.It hasn’t always been an easy experience for the UK. It’s been long, it’s been painful, it’s been divisive, and now is the moment for us as a country to come together.Now this is the moment for our parliamentarians to come together and get this thing done, and, as I say, to begin building a new and progressive partnership with our EU friends, with whom, of course, we share so many priorities.Now, I have to go to dinner. I’m late…
