More quotes by Iain Duncan Smith
There is nothing people can throw at me to say: Do this, do that.
Iain Duncan Smith
Look, I've always said from the word go many years ago that I felt the whole bonus culture, they need to think very carefully about being detached from the rest of the British public.
Iain Duncan Smith
With high underemployment - currently over one million part-time workers in the UK want to work more hours - sanctioning clients who cannot increase their hours seems to be both unworkable and unfair.
Iain Duncan Smith
I think almost every political leader is always told that the next speech they make is the most crucial one.
Iain Duncan Smith
We have to ensure that our immigration system works in the interests of Britain, enabling us to make a realistic promise to our young school-leavers. It is part of our contract with the British people.
Iain Duncan Smith
All I can say to the others is, 'Look out, we're on our way.
Iain Duncan Smith
After years of piecemeal reform the current welfare system is complex and unfair.
Iain Duncan Smith
I am also incredibly proud of my party because today we have two strong woman candidates going to the country, we will have a women PM and it is the Conservative party yet again leading the way on this and it says to women all over the country you can get to the top.
Iain Duncan Smith
Can there not be a limit to the fact that really you need to cut your cloth in accordance with what capabilities and finances you have?
Iain Duncan Smith
The person that takes over needs to have the skills to manage that ... I believe Andrea [Leadsom] has the edge.
Iain Duncan Smith
My personal view is always I'm in favour of anything that gives parliament a greater say. That's after all what we were elected for.
Iain Duncan Smith
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.
Iain Duncan Smith
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.
Iain Duncan Smith
We do need to have a little bit more protection and sensibility around pensioners. They are remarkable. They gave so much. We need to make sure we do our best by them.
Iain Duncan Smith
By measuring the proportion of children living with the same parents from birth and whether their parents report a good quality relationship we are driving home the message that social programmes should promote family stability and avert breakdown.
Iain Duncan Smith
We do a disservice to society if we ignore the evidence which shows that stable families tend to be associated with better outcomes for children.
Iain Duncan Smith
If you knowingly and willingly embark on criminal behaviour, the consequences of that should be... that you lose some of your benefits under the current system
Iain Duncan Smith
Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man.
Iain Duncan Smith
In Birmingham, Manchester or Liverpool there are white gangs that share the same backgrounds - they come from broken homes, completely dysfunctional, mums for the most part unable to cope, the fathers of these kids completely not in the scene.
Iain Duncan Smith
Gang members have invariably grown up in broken, chaotic homes, often experiencing domestic violence they have truanted from school and many have been formally excluded and they live in neighbourhoods where worklessness, addiction and crime are rife.
