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.
George Osborne
Image
No other chancellor in the long history of the office has felt the need to pass a law in order to convince people he has the political will to implement his own Budget.
George Osborne

I want to see genuine talent rewarded.
George Osborne

There are plenty of people who don't want change - the Labour Party, some of their militant trade union friends like Unite busy causing strikes at the very beginning of a fragile recovery.

I think we woefully failed to connect Britain to the growing Chinese economy in the previous decade, and I have sought to remedy that. China is now the sixth biggest trading partner with the UK. We have attracted now the lion's share of Chinese investment that is going into Europe.

The Conservative Party mustn't sound like the old man on the park bench who says things were better in 1985, or 1955, or 1855.
George Osborne

We want people to have a stake in the British economy so I am in favour of actually encouraging people to have small shareholdings and feel they've got a stake in our economic future.

[Banks] have a clear obligation to help get this country off its addiction to debt because they sure as hell helped to get this country addicted to debt.

The positive news is that the British economy is continuing to grow and is creating jobs. And it is positive news too that at a time of real international instability we are a safe haven in the storm.
George Osborne

Britain wants the single currency to be a success. It is massively in our interests that we have a stable financial system on our doorstep.
George Osborne
Image
The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.
George Osborne
Image
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
I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne
Image
I reject absolutely the idea that people should know their place, and know their class.
George Osborne
Image
I very much support financial education in schools.
George Osborne
Image
I have done everything I can to move Britain out of the financial danger zone.
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
Image
I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
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.
