Quotes

"We have a couple of months when we have got to have the most vigorous campaigning to put the pressure on the G8. Let's remember our moral obligation to the world - that's why you're here and that's why I'm in politics."
"All the same, the event will bring the world's media to the county and this is a golden opportunity for local opponents of fracking to let the world know of the strength of our opposition to this dangerous practice."
He said: "We need you. Your enthusiasm is not only infectious but it helps us overcome the arguments of those who say we shouldn't spend money on aid for the world's most needy. We're working a lot cross-party to make the world a better place. This is the year when we hit 0.7%, and from now we will continue to hit 0.7%, and we’re going to make sure we target it so that those in most need are helped.”"
...The same report goes on to say that in many African countries, rising inequality is slowing the rate at which growth reduces poverty. "Countries across Africa are becoming richer, but whole sections of society are being left behind" it warns
