Labour MP hits out at politicians who support marriage
from The Christian Institute:
Labour’s former Deputy Leader has attacked politicians who defend marriage and criticise divorce.
In an article titled ‘If I ruled the world’, in Prospect magazine, Harriet Harman wrote that she would ban politicians from “going on about how important marriage is and how damaging divorce is”.
Her comments were described as “unbelievable” by former Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith.
War on marriage
The Daily Mail published an editorial accusing her of ‘continuing her long war against marriage and traditional families’.
The Mail noted that “far from ministers ‘going on’ about marriage, as she claims, it barely features in our national debate”.
The newspaper criticised the existing tax and benefits system for ‘penalising married couples and rewarding family breakdown’.
