St Paul in his letter to the Galatians says to them at one point, \u201cLove one another, cease to tear at one another, lest at the end you consume one another.\u201d\u009d We are in danger of that in the way that our politics is developing at the moment.<\/p>\n
If we are to tackle that, we have to look at some of the fundamental issues which must be put in place if we are to have a society that is capable of creating the agile, flexible, creative, entrepreneurial, exciting society, full of the common good, of solidarity, of love for one another, that is the only way that this country will flourish and prosper for all its citizens, in the world outside the European Union of the future.<\/p>\n
The biggest thing it seems to me that we must challenge, my Lords, if we are to be effective in this creation of a new vision for Britain \u201d\u201c a vision that enables hope and reconciliation to begin to flower \u201d\u201c is to tackle the issues of inequality. It is inequality that thins out the crust of our society. It is inequality that raises the levels of anger and bitterness.<\/p>\n
