The Labour government also allegedly used parliamentary funds to promote the Labour Party in the past. Before the 2005 campaign, public funds paid for bus billboards showing the Labour election phrase "You're better off with Labour". However the Speaker ruled that this advertising promoted the national budget, not the Labour Party.

“In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again.... We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
“The middle years are ones in which children increasingly face conflicts on their own,... One of the truths to be faced by parents during this period is that they cannot do the work of living and relating for their children. They can be sounding boards and they can probe with the children the consequences of alternative actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love.... It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigour of the earlier world?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
“Economy does not lie in sparing money, but in spending it wisely.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
