For 14 years, public services were left to fall further and further behind the private sector.
We either modernise or accept further decline.
We will build the foundations for a modern British state — so that our public services are there for the next generation.

Some think the answer is to tear down our institutions and hope for the best.

Thank you for taking part in today’s Emergency Alert test, which saw tens of millions of phones successfully receive the message across the country.
The test took just seconds, but will help the government keep the country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
