Boris Johnson will close his party’s conference in a rousing finale in which he will accuse his Tory predecessors of “drift and dither” and lacking the guts to tackle big problems.
Bringing the conference to a barnstorming climax with his speech to the adoring Tory faithful on Wednesday, he will a promise a “long overdue” change of direction, with higher wages for all, and pledge to end the UK’s north-south divide.
And although his speech will be a belated victory rally nearly two years after his 2019 general election triumph, his attack on former Tory premiers Sir John Major, David Cameron and Theresa May will be seen as provocative.
The prime minister will declare: “After decades of drift and dither this reforming government, this can do government that got Brexit done, is getting the vaccine rollout done and is going to get social care done.
“We are dealing with the biggest underlying issues of our economy and society.
“The problems that no government has had the guts to tackle before.
“Because we are embarking now on the change of direction that has been long overdue in the UK economy.
“We are not going back to the same old broken model with low wages, low growth, low skills and low productivity, all of it enabled and assisted by uncontrolled immigration.”
Mr Johnson will deliver his speech in a secret hall inside Manchester’s conference centre that has been kept under wraps all week, leading to claims he is planning a Donald Trump-style rally.
