school doctors views
David Blunkett and I both take the same view that it is scandalous that someone from North Tyneside, Laura Spence, with the best qualifications and who wants to be a doctor, should be turned down by Oxford University using an interview system more reminiscent of the old school network and the old school tie than justice. It is about time for an end to that old Britain where what matters more are the privileges you are born with, rather than the potential you actually have.
purpose would-be spending
I said that this would be a Budget based on prudence for a purpose and that guides us also in our approach to public spending.
government taxation golden
My first rule - the golden rule - ensures that over the economic cycle the Government will borrow only to invest, and that current spending will be met from taxation.
blair
Tony Blair is the best friend I've had in politics.
heavyweights gentleman fists
The next election will be a flyweight versus a heavyweight. However much the right hon. Gentleman (David Cameron) may dance around the ring beforehand, at some point, he will come within the reach of a big clunking fist.
years two conservative
Boom and bust is a term that applied to the Conservative years and two of the worst recessions in history
return doe want
Britain does not want a return to boom and bust.

Indeed, Britain was set to repeat the old, familiar cycle of boom and bust. Since then, we have created and rigorously adhered to a new framework of modern economic management
winning two people
I don't see politics as one or two people just making or delivering announcements - it's also about winning public support and the public enthusiasm. You've got to win public support.
weekend long support
The IIFA Weekend has my unprecedented support. The relationship between India and the UK is long standing and one we would like to keep developing forever.
skills tough introducing
We are being tough in saying it is a duty on the unemployed in future not only to be available for work - and not to shirk work - but also to get the skills for work. That is a new duty we are introducing.
girl spices may
I hope the Spice Girls will come back, although it may be beyond even Bob Geldof to get that to happen.
america promise world
America knows it has got to deal with its deficit problems so that it, too, can promise it is making its proper and best contributions to the world economy.
communication technology opportunity
Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally. That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
