Social justice is back – David Cameron’s magnificent conference speech


Post Image

David Cameron has once again set out a magnificent vision for a Conservative programme to make Britain greater.

I may have entered politics over the Lisbon Treaty, but the journey taught me the calamitous extent of the welfare state’s failures under Labour. That’s why I helped the Centre for Social Justice before the election: we must succeed to a far greater extent in our fight against […]

Post Image

I’ve been asked to publish my speech at the launch of Politeia’s The UK and the EU: what must change? by Bernard Jenkin, Sir William Cash and John Redwood.

It is because life in society is a creative dynamic process of discovering how best to serve the needs of other people and to adjust to them. If we are to become the most prosperous nation within a generation, we will need to liberate that spirit of innovation, service and commerce which has always served our country so well. I was therefore delighted […]

Our plan is getting Britain back to work


Post Image

Via Share the Facts, Getting Britain back to work: Creating jobs is at the heart of our plan, and the plan is working – with employment now at an all-time high. Over 1,000 jobs have been created every day since 2010 – and there are now 2 million more people in work.

We will get the deficit down: Ed Miliband and the SNP will just keep borrowing


Post Image

Via Share the Facts: Labour left Britain with a record peacetime deficit, and a note that read: “there is no money”. But since 2010 we’ve been working through a plan to get Britain back to living within its means. And that plan is working – with the deficit now reduced by a half as a share of our economy – and we’ll clear it in the next Parliament. In stark contrast, the Institute for Fiscal Studies – Britain’s most respected […]
