Tony Blair says his government has the ‘knowledge, determination and commitment’ to deliver what people want during its third term.
After meeting with the Queen in Buckingham Palace where he was officially asked to form a government, he returned to Number 10 with his family and gave a speech outside the front door.
He said that he believed in the same values as the British people and promised a ‘radical’ programme of legislation.
The Prime Minister continued:
"I know that Iraq has been a deeply divisive issue in this country. That has been very clear.
"But I also know and believe that after this election people want to move on. They want to focus on the future in Iraq and here.
"I know too that there are many other issues that concern people in the international agenda and we will focus on those - on poverty in Africa, on climate change, on making progress in Israel and Palestine."
