With an introduction from Graham Galbraith, Vice-Chancellor.
The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, have both signalled that the UK faces difficult policy decisions in order to achieve long term growth and prosperity, especially in light of recent global instabilities.
