I Have Two Daughters, It Really Means

I Went Up To The Top Of The Career Ladder And I Came Down Again, I Am Past All That.

We Have To Challenge The Whole Idea That It's Acceptable For A Society Like Britain To Have Such A Significant Number Of People Who Do Not Work One Day Of The Week And Don't Have Any Possibility Of Improving The Quality Of Their Lives.

By Measuring The Proportion Of Children Living With The Same Parents From Birth And Whether Their Parents Report A Good Quality Relationship We Are Driving Home The Message That Social Programmes Should Promote Family Stability And Avert Breakdown.

For Families Across The Uk Who Are Income-poor, But More Than That, Whose Lives Are Blighted By Worklessness, Educational Failure, Family Breakdown, Problem Debt And Poor Health, As Well As Other Problems, Giving Them An Extra Pound - Say Through Increased Benefits - Will Not Address The Reason They Find Themselves In Difficulty In The First Place.

I Hate This Argument That Says Little Britain Or Something Outside, Or Britain Is Part Of A Wider Europe. We Can Both Be Within Our Trading Relationships Within Europe But We Can Also Be A Fantastic Global Trader.
