but we can be incredibly proud that britain’s dynamic entrepreneurs have defied the recession to start up nearly half a million new businesses. there are now three million british businesses - more than at any point since records of this began in the 1980s, and fewer businesses closed in 20xx than in 20xx.
and i am confident that if we continue with the tough decisions we have made, unemployment will start to drop this year, and more small businesses will open and flourish.
that wasn’t inevitable; it was the change we chose. and so my message today is simple; don’t wreck the recovery. the recovery is still fragile, and it needs to be nurtured in the interests of those who were hit hardest by the recession - the people on middle and modest incomes who don’t want any special favours - they simply want a bit of help to own their own home, set up their own businesses and give their children the best start in life.
because everyone who is willing to work hard and aim high deserves a fair shot at meeting their aspirations. my whole life in politics has been about trying to provide a ladder of opportunity, so that what matters is not where you come from but what you have to contribute. and that is the vision that will guide this government in the tough decisions ahead.
so let me talk to you about my key priorities for the coming year - about how we will secure the recovery and make the new decisions of this new decade. my first priority is securing that recovery. the second is radical improvement and reform of our public services, protecting frontline spending on schools, hospitals and the police. the third 本文来源：www.xxk123.com http://(www.xxk123.com)is a new, cleaned up politics. and the fourth is maintaining britain’s global strength and fulfilling our responsibilities against the terrorist threat in afghanistan and across the wider world.
even as we take the tough decisions to halve the deficit, we can still invest in britain’s future. i say this because britain is too great a country with so much potential - and people with such high aspirations - that in the coming decade we must not settle for anything less than big ambitions.
we are determined to reduce the deficit at a responsible pace, without choking off the recovery or damaging the frontline services the mainstream majority rely on. and so our strategy is to go for growth, because we want to build our country up, not talk britain down. later this week we will be publishing the first part of our prosperity plan for a successful, fairer and more responsible britain: a plan detailing how we will invest in the industries and jobs of the future. from high speed rail to aerospace to the digital economy to clean energy to advanced manufacturing. 20xx is when we will get britain moving forward again.
and we will continue our relentless reform of public services to ensure they always deliver the best for you and your family- not uniform services, but personal services, tailored to your need and your aspirations. so whether creating a national care service for the elderly, giving a guarantee of early cancer diagnosis or driving up standards in primary schools with more one-to-one tuition and compulsory modern languages, we will always ensure you get the individual, excellent services you need to make the most of life.
and i know that those who work hard each and every day for everything they get were rightly appalled at some of the abuse of mps’ expenses. so i am determined that this year we will renew faith in our democracy with constitutional reform.
