The British people think that if someone is disabled, then they should get all the care and support that we can offer.
George Osborne
Image
Britain should not be forced to make a choice between joining the single currency and leaving the EU, because if we're forced to make that choice we would leave the EU.

I didn't come from a traditional Tory background it was urban and metropolitan.

Even a China growing at 7% or indeed less is still adding to the world economy an economy equivalent to the UK or more.
George Osborne

The Foreign Office is a very important arm of the British state and I think Britain has a fantastic diplomatic service. We are the only country in the world spending 2% of our national income on defence and 0.7% of our national income on aid. We are the only country in the world doing both of those things.
George Osborne

Put on top of that the fact that the whole world is looking at Britain and saying how is this country going to pay its way in the future. They are looking at other countries like Greece who can't pay their way in the future and you see savage spending cuts, big cuts in pay.

What's interesting is whilst Shanghai has gone stellar - literally, in these massive buildings which have appeared since I first visited - Beijing has become a much more vibrant and interesting place. A lot more business is done here.

I'm not saying job done but I am actually pretty confident that Britain can be one of the biggest winners from these big global changes that are taking place and indeed become the richest of the major economies in the world in this coming generation.
George Osborne
Image
What I'm interested in is Britain projecting itself abroad, and through that its values and the things it holds dear. And I don't think you do that by refusing to talk to the world's second-largest economy [China]. In fact, that is positively counter-productive in my view.
George Osborne
Image
Britain cannot afford to cut itself off from what is going on in the world, we are too interconnected with what is going on, we have a powerful history and tradition of taking an interest in what is going on in the world, we've also got a very real interest in the future, in remaining connected.
George Osborne

We need to think deeply about whether we can sustain banks that are not only too big to fail, but potentially too big to bail.
George Osborne
Image
We need a coalition in this country. A coalition of change. People who have had enough of this.
George Osborne
Image
Well look, no one takes pleasure from people making money out of the misery of others, but that is a function of capitalist markets.
George Osborne
Image
British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.
George Osborne

I'm fed up with Britain being condemned to this future where we borrow the Chinese in order to buy from the Chinese the things that they make for us.
George Osborne
Image
If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.
George Osborne
Image
There is a big problem. The problem is the country borrowed too much. We went on a borrowing binge, there was a housing boom. You want to help people de-leverage and deal with those debts over time.
