WHY READERS MUST VOTE FOR ME
¬ÊPM: Let us build fairer Britain ¬Ê‘I’ll cage or kick out jihadis’ May gives pledge to tackle ISIS
®
THERESA May is urging Daily Star readers to forget how they have voted in the past – and help her build a better Britain.
In an exclusive interview ahead of polling day, the Prime Minister urged people to back her for the sake of “the future of the country”.
She said voting Conservative tomorrow will allow her to lower taxes, control immigration and create jobs. She vowed to bring powers back to the UK and axe “vast payments” to Brussels.
And the PM attacked Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for not being able to say whether immigration would be controlled or come down if he wins power.
Mrs May’s huge poll lead has shrunk since she called the snap election. But she claimed her campaign had been a success, while insisting that she was taking no votes for granted.
Asking Daily Star readers to back her, Mrs May said: “We can all fulfil the promise of Brexit together and build a Britain that is stronger, fairer and even more prosperous than it is today.
“A good deal from Brexit will mean a strong economy, control of immigration, more well-paid jobs and allow us to keep taxes low for ordinary families across the country.”
She added: “This election is not about how people voted in the past – it’s about the future of our country.”
She said only she has a plan for a successful Brexit. The PM added: “I’ve experience negotiating in Europe and bringing powers back. When it comes to the budget I have been clear that we will no longer make vast annual payments to the EU once we leave. In contrast, Jeremy Corbyn has no plan for the negotiations that start only 11 days after polling day, and has said he’ll continue to pay large amounts into the EU budget.”
She also turned her guns on the Labour leader over migration. Mrs May said Mr Corbyn “has not even been able to say that immigration should be controlled or come down”.
Yesterday, Mrs May pledged to scrap human rights laws if they stopped her tackling terrorism.
She said she would bring in longer jail terms for convicted jihadis, and make it easier to deport foreign terror suspects. She added: “If our human rights laws stop us from doing it, we will change the laws so we can do it.” The PM said she had travelled more than 7,000 miles during the election campaign.
She added: “I’ve been taking with me a very clear message about the choice people face on Thursday. That’s a choice between me and my Conservative team and a plan for Brexit, or Jeremy Corbyn propped up by a coalition of chaos including the Lib Dems and the SNP.” The PM said she would pick Rod Stewart to headline Glastonbury festival. But asked if she would star in Strictly or I’m A Celeb, she said: “I don’t think I’m likely to do either. I can’t dance and I hate big bugs.” THE Prime Minister has vowed to snuff out Islamic State. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, she said “there has been too much tolerance” of Islamist hate on our streets “and that is something that needs to change”. In the second part of our interview with the PM, she promised to tackle the root causes of Isis evil. Mrs May gave a passionate speech after Saturday’s terror attack and asked how she would make voters safer ® if they back her. She gave a strong hint that a crackdown on extremism plaguing the UK was coming.
The PM told us: “On Sunday our country fell victim to a brutal terrorist attack once again and I want to make clear that keeping our country safe is my number one priority.
“The UK has led the world in doing what is needed to tackle violent extremism and we are leading international efforts to take on and defeat the ideology of Islamist extremism around the world. But as the threat evolves, our response must do so too. And we must be frank that there has been too much tolerance of extremism in Britain and that is something that needs to change.”
She said the UK would continue to play its part in the coalition that is making good progress in the battle to defeat Isis in the Middle East.”
Turning to North Korea, she blasted Kim Jong-un for taunting the planet with illegal nuclear missile tests despite global condemnation.
As world leaders including Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin grapple with how to contain trigger-happy Kim, Mrs May said: “We condemn North Korea’s destabilising activity, including their widespread human rights abuses and their illegal nuclear weapons tests.
“Britain will stand alongside our allies and play a central role at the UN as we confront the threat North Korea poses to international peace and security.”
The PM renewed her determination to strike a trade deal with Washington, adding: “We have a plan to secure the best possible Brexit deal. But we will also continue to strengthen our friendship with the US, reinforcing our strong ties on defence and security.”
