David Cameron ‘absolutely clear’ about priorities in Cabinet address

As part of his new style of governing, David Cameron addressed Cabinet today with cameras recording the first bit. The idea was clearly to set out his mission for the Parliament, to set an idea in people’s minds of what it is that he stands for – just in case anyone had any doubts. Here is his full statement:

‘Before we start, I want everyone around this table to be absolutely clear: what we are here to do and who we are here to do it for. I think it is absolutely vital that in every decision that we take, every policy we pursue, every programme that we start, it is about giving everyone in our country the best chance of living a fulfilling and good life and making the most of their talents.
