John Healey: “I wish you all continuing strength in the exceptional challenges you face as prime minister.”

We build on that, but it is not easy. It is not easy in a world in which you see global conflict, increasing dangers.

What we can do is be an active, hands-on Government that puts British interests first – giving breathing space to those feeling financial strain and making our country more resilient so we can better weather these shocks in the future.
