00:00Well, because this first mission of this Labour government is economic growth, we said that
00:05we were going to bring stability, investment and reform to the economy after years of instability,
00:10a lack of investment and a government that wasn't willing to do its work under the last
00:15Conservative government. We are absolutely confident that is the right approach, working
00:19in partnership with investors and wealth creators to be able to stimulate growth in the economy.
00:24We've only just got started, Labour's been in government now for a couple of months,
00:27but we have very significant plans going into 2025 and the years ahead to bring that stability
00:32and investment and reform to the British economy, which will stimulate growth in the years ahead.
