'Society flourishes when this foundation is upheld' - Your Letters: April 17

UK IS DESPERATE FOR STABILITY
Starmer is keen to claim that he and his party have a critical role in "fixing the foundations" of the UK. If this is so, let me suggest what he should begin with. The nation desperately needs stability, and this phrase underscores the essential duty of government: to maintain order and deter threats both within and from outside.
Governments should not be fixated on achieving equality of outcomes, as this pursuit often leads to the infringement of individual liberties and the unjust redistribution of resources, benefiting the unworthy rather than the diligent citizen.
The idea of a collective effort is rooted in responsibilities and duties, much like the family unit that has shaped my strong foundation for a productive life.
Modern Britain has systematically dismantled the traditional family structure, jeopardising children's life prospects. Far too often, adults place their desires above their children's needs, leading to neglect and rising criminal behaviour.
