David Miliband Quotes

Foreign policy is inseparable from domestic policy now. Is terrorism foreign policy or domestic policy? It’s both. It’s the same with crime, with the economy, climate change Picture Quote #1

One of the jewels in the crown of Labour’s time in office was the rescue of the National Health Service. As the Commonwealth Fund, the London School of Economics and the Nuffield Foundation have all shown, health reforms as well as additional investment were essential to improved outcomes, especially for poorer patients Picture Quote #1

I’m a great believer in the Arsene Wenger school of management - which is, you don’t worry about the opposition, you just get your own act together Picture Quote #1

Today, the UK must be the pioneer of a new model of economic change, that integrates social and environmental consideration. This is not just a question of values and moral duty. It is about our economy’s capacity to sustain itself Picture Quote #1

Consuming three planets’ worth of resources when in fact we have one is the environmental equivalent of childhood obesity - eating until you make yourself sick Picture Quote #1

We are living as if we had three planets’ worth of resources to live with rather than just one. We need to cut by about two-thirds our ecological footprint. For that we need one planet farming as well as one planet living - one planet farming which minimises the impact on the environment of food production and consumption, and which maximises its contribution to renewal of the natural environment Picture Quote #1

Al Qaeda has no place in Pakistan. It’s a threat to Pakistan. And there should be a convergence of interests between the Pakistani state and the West on security issues, but also on wider economic and social issues Picture Quote #1

The two biggest threats to international security in 2013 are Iran getting a nuclear weapon, and Iran being bombed to stop it getting a nuclear weapon. Both would precipitate a long and dangerous conflict in an already unstable Middle East. Both would be a disaster Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of being faddish. I’m more Marks and Spencer than Ted Baker Picture Quote #1

I’ve committed myself to serve my constituents in South Shields and I have committed myself to British politics Picture Quote #1

In Britain, the centrally prescribed welfare to work system short-changes the young unemployed. Transport, housing and education are over centralised Picture Quote #1

The biggest opportunity in 2013 is in Africa. It has seven out of the ten fastest-growing economies in the world. In Nigeria alone there are 100 million people with mobile phones. In total, 300 million Africans - five times the population of Britain - are in the middle class Picture Quote #1

I mean, Britain is a country of successful Muslim businesspeople, teachers and educators, journalists. So, we have to say very strongly that the two million plus Muslims in Britain, the vast bulk of them make a huge contribution to our society, and they actually make it the vibrant society it is Picture Quote #1

Today, Labour has a disruptive economic narrative - that Britain needs fundamental change in its market structure and culture to compete in the modern world Picture Quote #1

One thing that I feel very, very strongly is that we talk about Islamic countries, Islamic people, Islamic leaders, as either moderates or extremists. It’s almost like there are only two categories of Muslims. And actually, that doesn’t show respect. It shows lack of understanding of the diversity of Muslim thought Picture Quote #1

I do not speak Hebrew, but I understand that it has no word for ‘history.’ The closest word for it is memory Picture Quote #1

The problems that the world faces - from nuclear proliferation to climate change - can’t be tackled by the West alone. They need a coalition of not just West and East, but they need a coalition of Christian and Jew and Muslim Picture Quote #1

We keep the terrorist threat to the United Kingdom under very careful scrutiny. We think it’s right to keep the public informed about the general threat level Picture Quote #1

The American idea that everyone graduates high school at 18 is a good one Picture Quote #1

Crushing defeat for Great Britain #Euref. History will show no one won today Picture Quote #1

The whole of government needs to contribute to the shared goal of restructuring the British economy. But that means taking on the myth that the Treasury either knows best or can run it all. It just doesn’t Picture Quote #1

The wedding ring on my left hand was bought by my grandfather, Samuel Miliband, in Brussels in 1920. I never knew him, as he died when I was one. But his ring was kept by my aunt until it was placed on my finger by my wife Louise 32 years later Picture Quote #1

My memories are of my dad taking me to football on Saturday mornings, and my mum taking me swimming. Those are the things I remember from my childhood, not sitting around the table debating capitalism and the profit squeeze Picture Quote #1
