According to the prime minister, the main priorities of his government after the UK's withdrawal from the European Union are fighting crime, improving healthcare and education, and boosting infrastructure. Among other priorities, the prime minister mentioned fighting climate change, upholding human rights across the world, and supporting women's education.
