Apparently, Richie says morning or… Well, good morning, everyone. And then they crack on. There we go. There we go. Especially a warm welcome to those for whom it's their first cabinet, and also welcome to those for whom it may not be their first time. Lovely to have you all here. Our purpose is nothing less than to make the long-term decisions that are going to change our country for the better. I know that this strong and united team is going to deliver that change for everybody. We've got an important week coming up. On Wednesday, we'll have inflation numbers. We'll also have the Supreme Court ruling on our Rwanda Plan. Next Wednesday, the Chancellor will be delivering an important autumn statement. And across all of that, I'm confident that we can demonstrate to the country that we're making progress on the priorities that I set out at the beginning of the year. To half inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists, and to stop the boats. But you all know that is not the limit of our ambitions. We want to build a better future for our children and for our grandchildren, and that is what this team is going to do.

Whether it's navigating the crises in Ukraine, in the Middle East to demonstrate that we will stand up for our values and provide security for everyone here at home, but also to make the big, bold decisions that will drive change. A new approach to infrastructure spending, ushering in a generation of children that will grow up smoke-free, reforms to how we approach net zero to save families thousands of pounds, and radically reforming our education system with more teachers, higher standards, and more apprenticeships. That's the change that we're going to deliver. And looking around this table, I know that we have an energetic and enthusiastic team that is going to deliver for the country. So let's get to work. Thanks very much.
