More From David Miliband
- "In Britain, the centrally prescribed welfare to work system short-changes the young unemployed. Transport, housing and education are over centralised."
- "There is a danger for Britain as we perceive ourselves, or as we are – less wealthy, facing economic austerity – that we essentially draw back. I think there is a recoil in parts of the country, and in parts of the government actually, from the multilateral system, and I think that’s dangerous and wrong."
- "And the truth is, those who are terrorists only have to succeed once, and those of us who are trying to build an inclusive society have to succeed every time."

- "I get cold – really cold – when I travel."― Laura Linney
- "My advice is very simple: if you can win a small battle, it gives you confidence in the political process to take on bigger battles, and so it is very much a bottom-up grass-roots way of doing politics."― David Miliband
