Prime Minister Tony Blair has given his final Labour Party Conference speech as leader, Tuesday 26 September, and has urged the party to unite and move forward together to win a fourth term.
Received with a standing ovation, Blair told the Labour members: "You're the future now, make the most of it."Bringing reconciliation between himself and Chancellor Gordon Brown, he said, "I know New Labour would never have happened and three election victories would never have been secured without Gordon Brown."
Brown had played his part to bond with Blair in his conference speech on Monday when he said it had been a privilege to serve under his premiership.
Blair returned the compliment, saying: "He is a remarkable man, a remarkable servant to this country - and that is the truth."
Blair also spoke about religious issues prominent across the globe. He said that Christians, Muslims as well as people of all convictions should reconcile in common beliefs and values.
In particular, the Prime Minister asked for all members of society to rally together in tolerance and freedom, rather than sectarian hatred.This terrorism is not our fault, we didn't cause it. It's not the consequence of foreign policy, it's an attack on our way of life

He highlighted common themes that Britain holds with the United States and Europe, and promised to take action on Israel-Palestine and Africa.
With the Conservative Party currently ahead in the opinion polls, Mr Blair urged people to remember there were three years until the next election.
