Synopsis
"Speaking at an event hosted by the think-tank Policy Exchange on Thursday morning, Abbott praised the Labour Party for 'breaking with conservative family norms and escaping the looming and stifling clouds tradition', but lamented that there had been 'too little space for family and community, too little to say about the family'.
"She warned that 'the Left has abandoned the issue of the family to the Right in politics'."
