As you said, I worked for the best part of a decade, 10, 15 minutes away from the studio.
So, I know absolutely that if we are to ensure that we have economic stability, something that we didn't have really for most of the last decade, that we need to stick to those principles of economic fiscal probity.
That also means we need to recommit to our growth agenda.
So that we could, you know, but be that on infrastructure, be that on unlocking domestic pension capital.
So we're really supporting those high growth industries.
Or high growth companies in the industries of tomorrow where we know that the UK will have a comparative advantage.
Certainly not from my perspective.
Rachel Reeves has my full support and I think has the support of the Parliamentary Labour Party and changing the chancellor certainly wouldn't be something that I would be considering.
I haven't read all of the WhatsApp exchanges between Wes Streeting and Peter Manderson.
But I would say is that it is important that we do have a growth strategy.
That's why I think it's really good that we're already advancing pension reform through the House of Commons.
We have an industrial strategy.
which is, as I say, trying to support those industries, be it digital, artificial intelligence, defence, financial services, that we know Britain has excelled at.
And we also have a fringe infrastructure strategy.
In my neck of the woods, in Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes, we have East West Rail set to open soon.
There's Northern Powerhouse Rail.
There's Sizewell when it comes to energy infrastructure.
So there's all these, you know,
for a growth strategy.
