And it struck me that people watching or listening to what was happening in Parliament in Westminster from other parts of the world might be thinking, well,

If the guy at the very top, the Prime Minister, with, by definition, surely, therefore, the highest level of security clearance put there by the public, can't be told stuff, what sort of a democracy is it?

And Catherine, earlier I heard a noise.

You looked slightly startled.

And I now know what the noise was, or rather who the noise was, Faisal Islam.

No, no, well...

What do you make of all these machinations at the heart of government, Faisal?

And of course, you might make an argument that that would significantly sort of lower the tax burden.

That would be a, you know, for some, a laudable thing to do.

For others, the opposite.

But how the numbers, because the combined tax take of both revenue streams around national insurance versus the scale of the tax hike that you might need to be vaguely commensurate with that if it goes in a fairly narrow set of directions within the kind of AI industry.

Now we know what your econ perspective is, Faisal.

Econ perspective.

This is all very interesting, but we do actually have something else to talk about.

Chris, we're going to say goodbye to you at this point.

Thank you very much.

Cheers.

Nice to chat all.

And Catherine, really nice to see you, Catherine.

Thanks so much.
