Lucy Powell Quotes

At times unpopular measures are needed in order to change behaviour Picture Quote #1

The Labour party has done more than any other to address gender inequalities, through legislation and other means, and to increase women’s representation in politics, which has led to recent increases in the number of female politicians Picture Quote #1

A global deal will only be possible if Britain plays its part, leading the way with other developed countries Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Funding for sports (and the arts) are often the first things facing the chop in difficult times Picture Quote #1

In these difficult times, when tough decisions are required, the differences between Labour and the Tories are becoming much clearer. One party believes in intervention to reduce social and economic costs and the other believes in market forces and letting things take their course Picture Quote #1

The economic and social decline of Zimbabwe is shocking and appalling. Life there is unrecognisable from that of the recent past. Each day is a struggle for basic survival Picture Quote #1

The Tories and the Lib Dems talk about social mobility, but, short of winning the lottery, the only way to guarantee young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to do better and to raise aspirations is through education Picture Quote #1

I have run a general election campaign pregnant and ran Ed Miliband’s leadership campaign commuting to London with a new baby so I already have my system set up Picture Quote #1

Even though I support the blue side of Manchester’s football heritage, I don’t really mind that wherever I go in the world it’s not Manchester City that starts the conversation. ‘Ah, yes, Manchester United,’ is the response when I say where I come from. It’s commonplace everywhere - in Europe, Africa, Asia and even the U.S Picture Quote #1

At its most basic the democratic contract is a simple one: the right to vote comes with a responsibility to society, through tax payments and citizenship Picture Quote #1

Fossil fuels, including oil, are running out and supplies are getting harder to find. If we do nothing, prices will continue to rise and our reliance on oil will come to an abrupt and tumultuous end, causing global economic and social turmoil Picture Quote #1

Over the last 10 years a huge amount has been achieved in getting people into work. Measures such as the New Deal, tax credits, the minimum wage and improved childcare have brought about record numbers of people in work, a number that is still rising despite the global economic slowdown Picture Quote #1

These are tough times and under this Tory-led government many people in Manchester are suffering and getting left behind. If elected I will use all my energy, skills, experience and knowledge to stand up for our communities and get things done for the better Picture Quote #1

In an era when party fundraising is badly tainted, dinners are a really good way of raising cash for campaigning. Lots of people giving very small amounts of money through ticket sales and raffle prizes: yes, it’s much harder work than big donations, but I think it’s a more democratic and transparent way of fundraising Picture Quote #1

What the Lib Dems have failed to do is offer any meaningful agenda for government or for power Picture Quote #1

Doing nothing and shrinking spending may save us public money in the short term but could cost us a great deal more over time as the recession takes hold for much longer Picture Quote #1

Today the demands are for even higher standards in the quality of care, for greater flexibility and convenience in treatment times, and for more prevention through screening and health checks Picture Quote #1

In politics, the number of women in the cabinet has fallen and, if current poll trends continue and Labour loses a number of marginal seats, the number of female MPs is likely to drop significantly Picture Quote #1

Indeed, when all parties campaign effectively the overall effect is to push up voting rates, as you see in tight marginal seats or close general elections. That must be good for democracy Picture Quote #1

Connecting people to jobs and to each other is absolutely vital to a city’s economy (and to the wider economy) Picture Quote #1

In last year’s local elections in Manchester a third of those who voted did so by post. It’s not just that people are choosing to get postal votes, but having one makes it much more likely that they’ll vote Picture Quote #1

The era of industrial Britain, where a large section of our workforce provided cheap labour in factories and processing goods, is over Picture Quote #1

We need to dig deep and give people a reason to be optimistic just as Obama is doing in America. Because in the same way that outcome of the U.S. elections will change the course of events there and around the world, so too do politics here in Britain Picture Quote #1

Some argue that now isn’t the time to push the green agenda - that all efforts should be on preventing a serious recession. That is a false choice. It fails to recognise that climate change and our carbon reliance is part of problem - high fuel prices and food shortages due to poor crop yields compound today’s financial difficulties Picture Quote #1

Like many of my friends and colleagues, I can’t get enough of Obama news; latest polling, speeches, visits, reaction of world leaders Picture Quote #1

It’s not a matter of if economies around the world becoming low-carbon, but when and how: through struggle and strife or through advancement and progressive leadership. Larry Elliot described it today as the ‘Green New Deal.’ It’s a leadership we in Britain can provide, and from which our economy can benefit Picture Quote #1

It’s estimated that by 2030 there will be virtually no unskilled jobs in the British economy Picture Quote #1

When the heart stops for one beat it is desire, when it stops for one life time it is love Picture Quote #1

There’s a loss of faith in the banking system that for so long has been the backbone of prosperity and growth Picture Quote #1
