around? simply put shifting the narrative and moving away from the fact the uk is at the bottom of the league table for economic growth and instead focusing on how the uk is signing these accords with japan, sharing defence cooperation and economic ties and accession talks on the transpacific partnership agreement. they will want to shift the narrative and move away from the fact that the uk is not performing as well economically as the rest of the g7. and just in terms of how influential and how important this gathering still is, how much do you think this actually matters? we have seen several meetings like this where nothing really happens afterwards. where nothing really happens afterwards-— where nothing really happens afterwards. , . , ., afterwards. yes, there are several summits were _ afterwards. yes, there are several summits were nothing _ afterwards. yes, there are several summits were nothing really - summits were nothing really happened. we it does happen is when the g7 are united on a clear set of actions, so we saw that last year in the response to the russian invasion of ukraine, support for ukraine in
