I would I would put it like this.

The th the commitment that we're making isn't just a uh defence investment plan, it isn't just an economic growth plan.

It is a way of leading the country.

Let me ask you the question he's bound to have asked you.

You want your old job back?

Well that's

entirely a matter for him.

For me, what has always been the case, and you mentioned at the very start, I've served under Tommy Blair, Gordon Brown, I've served in cabinets and shadow cabinets under Brown, Miliband, Corbin and Starmer.

Though one thing for me is to see

A successful Labour government.

leading a stronger Britain.

If I've got a part to play in that and we are
