I am presenting this award on behalf of a generation of people who ruined their best going-out clothes on beer-soaked dance floors because somebody told them to sit down and they did it because they love this band so much and I was one of those people.
Presenting an award to the band James.

If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.
We can do it, and we can be the nation in the next 10 years that… does find the cure for cancer, that does make the breakthrough on dementia, or indeed on nuclear fusion.
In my view, all political parties in the UK should do everything they can to support the two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
Politics has become too suffocating. We need greater ambition. The country is not where it should be and nothing simple gets us out of that. We need to show a journey and a longer-term plan.
