It’s a pleasure to be here today, and to welcome you all to this Convention. I want to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who has made it happen at such short notice.

And - perhaps more unexpectedly - I also want to say a genuine thank you to the 17.4 million people who gave the Establishment such a well-deserved kicking in 2016.
