00:00 I was in David Cameron's government, I was his chief whip.
00:02 He's a fantastic team player.
00:04 I think the Prime Minister's brought him in
00:05 to strengthen the team.
00:07 And at a time when foreign affairs
00:09 are incredibly important with what's going on in Ukraine,
00:12 with the conflict in the Middle East,
00:14 I think having a really experienced player
00:17 at the top table is a good move.
00:19 And I look forward to working with him in the months to come.
00:22 Look, the Prime Minister is today strengthening his team.
00:26 And I think the important thing is to focus on
00:27 we all work as a team in government,
00:29 delivering the Prime Minister's agenda and priorities.
00:33 Those are the country's priorities.
00:35 And I think it's important we all work together.
00:37 Those are the changes that he's making today.
00:39 I welcome the appointments that he's announced.
00:43 We'll see more of them later on today.
00:45 But it's about strengthening the team
00:47 and delivering the Prime Minister's priorities.
00:49 That's what's important.
00:50 And I'm sure the Conservative Parliamentary Party
00:52 will rally behind, make those arguments in the months to come,
00:56 and make those arguments for the country.
