We are the ones looking out for the middle class. Who do think pays for the endless expansion of government? Its middle class taxpayers. Our reforms protect middle class taxpayers.
Scott Walker
As the economy faces such difficulties, more tough questions need to be asked about what the Tories would do if elected. Their ideology of free markets and small government needs challenging. That has to be part of our job.
Lucy Powell
More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America, fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector, because government got out of the way.
Scott Walker
It’s become unfashionable to celebrate political achievement, and Labour achievement even less so. And it’s positively uncouth to be proud of something that this Labour government is doing. So, slam me for saying so, but I’m really proud of the NHS.
Lucy Powell
The Left regards the Constitution as defective and outmoded – in part because it impedes the government’s ability to control institutions, like churches and families, which stand between the state and individuals.
Gary Bauer
I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government, not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they’ve been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.
Scott Walker
If you want to change the way your banking system is regulated, if you want to learn the mistakes of what’s gone wrong, then you have to change your government.
George Osborne
We in the Labour party know better than most that opposition is the easy part. What’s more difficult is governing and setting out an agenda for government.
Lucy Powell
For wide swaths of training and education there are valuable spillovers which mean that the private sector needs support from the government. That is why I have been so determined to protect and grow apprenticeships and put higher education on a sustainable footing.
Vince Cable
People create jobs, not the government.
Scott Walker
I was very happy being a secretary. I loved working for the government. I was very happy with my life.
Fawn Hall
Although my seat is a contest between Labour and the Lib Dems, it could well make the difference between a Labour and a Tory government at the next election. In terms of international development, this choice is a very clear one.
Lucy Powell
What the Lib Dems have failed to do is offer any meaningful agenda for government or for power.
Lucy Powell
One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people – and not the other way around.
Scott Walker
In Scotland, the indication is that for the Westminster elections at least, Labour voters are satisfied with their government.
