It's been reported that the Burnham government is minded to restore international aid spending to 0.7% of GDP. Do you think that would be a good idea? I mean, there's just a lot of speculation around. Well, he could have done a few more interviews, couldn't he, Lucy Powell, if he wanted to clear up some of these speculation. He's only done one interview, which is on this station. That was a good move, I'll grant you, but he's only done one. So if he wanted to clear up the speculation, maybe he could have, I don't know, subjected himself to some questions from journalists rather than telling us he likes to put milk in his tea before the teabag. We're really clear in our manifesto about overseas development expenditure. That is something that we see as a way of preventing conflict, a way of preventing illegal migration, a way of preventing some of the big challenges that the world faces. These are investments that we make, essentially, in countries and people around the world. You think it passes the maker field test to send tens of billions of pounds of extra public money and their taxpayer money abroad when we've got such pressing problems of scarcity here at home? We're still a very big contributor to international aid of this country. So we have to make the argument for these things.
