Warm Congratulations To My Friend Barack Obama.

Britain Could Make Her Own Way In The World, Outside The Eu, If We Chose To Do So. So Could Any Other Member State. But The Question We Will Have To Ask Ourselves Is This: Is That The Very Best Future For Our Country? We Will Have To Weigh Carefully Where Our True National Interest Lies.

Too Many People Are Stuck On Sickness Benefits Because Of Issues That Could Be Addressed But Instead Are Not, Some Have Drug Or Alcohol Problems, But Refuse Treatment. In Other Cases, People Have Problems With Their Weight That Could Be Addressed, But Instead A Life On Benefits Rather Than Work Becomes The Choice.

The Legacy Of Mandela Is To Have Brought The Country Together... South Africa Can Be One Of The Success Stories Of The 21st Century.

What We’re Putting Forward Is The Most Radical Reform Of The Welfare State… For 60 Years. I Think It Will Have A Transformative Effect In Making Sure That Everyone Is Better Off In Work And Better Off Working Rather Than On Benefits.

Christmas Gives Us The Opportunity To Pause And Reflect On The Important Things Around Us - A Time When We Can Look Back On The Year That Has Passed And Prepare For The Year Ahead.
