we were asking grant shapps that.r going off and mingling with a load of millionaires and chief executives — what value does that bring to your constituents, to this country? i think it shows we're serious about the approach that we'd be taking from government. the fact that keir starmer and rachel reeves have both gone out there demonstrates the change in our relationship with business. you know, we are serious about working with business to drive kind of growth and newjobs in our economy and that, you know, keir starmer has been talking while he's there about the need to decarbonise the economy but how we use that as an opportunity to create brilliantjobs, and i think there is real potential in every corner of our country, and particularly in communities that have not seen those jobs or investment for some time. let's talk about child care because you've been doing quite a bit of thinking about child care and what a labour government would do as far as child care in england is concerned, and it's pretty radical. you
