Iain Duncan Smith Quotes

The future of Conservatism lies in our beliefs and values, not by throwing them away. We need to shed associations that bind us to past failures, but hold faith with those things that make us Conservatives Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I do not believe the picture that some people paint of Scottish towns dependent on welfare. Every time I come here, I meet people who are determined to get into work. Who, with the right help are desperate to get off benefits, support their family and set an example for their children Picture Quote #1

I am an optimist about the UK. We have been involved in trade with our European partners, which we will always be doing whatever this relationship is. We are a member of the EU. That gives us benefits. But we have to figure out where that is going. In the world, we are a global trader already Picture Quote #1

What happened I think on Sept. 11 was we were given graphic and clear evidence that things had changed Picture Quote #1

With the right support, a child growing up in a dysfunctional household, who was destined for a lifetime on benefits could be put on an entirely different track - one which sees them move into fulfilling and sustainable work. In doing so, they will pull themselves out of poverty Picture Quote #1

When families are strong and stable, so are children - showing higher levels of wellbeing and more positive outcomes. But when things go wrong - either through family breakdown or a damaged parental relationship - the impact on a child’s later life can be devastating Picture Quote #1

That thing, ‘You must stay together for the kids’, is out of fashion but is right. It’s not arguing parents that children don’t like, it is having one parent Picture Quote #1

What we want to do is reform the welfare system in the way that Tony Blair talked about 13 years ago but never achieved - a system that was created for the days after the Second World War. That prize is now I think achievable Picture Quote #1

No I’m not a great believer in getting back over things and saying if only, or if, or buts because I don’t think we actually get anywhere on that Picture Quote #1

Kids are meant to believe that their stepping stone to massive money is ‘The X Factor.’ Luck is great, but most of life is hard work. We do not celebrate people who have made success out of serious hard work Picture Quote #1

There is nothing people can throw at me to say: Do this, do that Picture Quote #1

For those who are able to work, work has to be seen as the best route out of poverty. For work is not just about more money - it is transformative. It’s about taking responsibility for yourself and your family Picture Quote #1

If you look at the footballers, you look at our celebrity culture, we seem to be saying, ‘This is the way you want to be’. We seem to be a society that celebrates all the wrong people Picture Quote #1

Kids are meant to believe that their stepping stone to massive money is ‘The X Factor Picture Quote #1

When the news is good, the BBC view is: ‘Get the government out of the picture quickly, don’t allow them to say anything about it.’ When the news is bad: ‘Let’s all dump on the government. ‘ Picture Quote #1

With participation in politics so low at the moment I think Christians should ensure their views are represented at all levels and not leave it to others Picture Quote #1

In many ways, Scotland will benefit more than other parts of the UK when Universal Credit comes in. A larger percentage of people will see an increase in their income through moving into work or taking on more hours Picture Quote #1

You know in my own area of Waltham Forest, we’ve had many murders as a result of the gang violence and often innocent bystanders get caught up in it Picture Quote #1

I think that the status that you have in life should be reflected in official documents. If you are married, fine, if you are living with someone, fine, if you are single, fine. We don’t want to tell people how to live their lives Picture Quote #1

All too often, government’s response to social breakdown has been a classic case of ‘patching’ - a case of handing money out, containing problems and limiting the damage but, in doing so, supporting - even reinforcing - dysfunctional behaviour Picture Quote #1

Thankfully, due to the United Kingdom and the commitment of the Westminster government we are able to ensure that money brought in, whether it be from the City of London or from North Sea oil, can be pooled and directed to wherever it is needed most. That is what being in the United Kingdom is all about Picture Quote #1

If you look at the footballers, you look at our celebrity culture, we seem to be saying, ‘This is the way you want to be’. We seem to be a society that celebrates all the wrong people Picture Quote #1

Getting a family into work, supporting strong relationships, getting parents off drugs and out of debt - all this can do more for a child’s well-being than any amount of money in out-of-work benefits Picture Quote #1

It’s fairness to say those who work hard, get up in the morning, cut their cloth - in other words ‘we can only afford to have one or two children because we don’t earn enough’. They pay their taxes and they want to know that the same kind of decision-making is taking place for those on benefits Picture Quote #1

Even as our economy starts to pick up, and new jobs are created, there is a risk that young people in Britain won’t get the chances they deserve because businesses will continue to look elsewhere Picture Quote #1

After years of piecemeal reform the current welfare system is complex and unfair Picture Quote #1

No one out there is interested in who did what to whom in Westminster politics Picture Quote #1

Over the years the political establishment has frowned if a mainstream politician mentions marriage Picture Quote #1

We do not celebrate people who have made success out of serious hard work Picture Quote #1
