I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne

I want to see genuine talent rewarded.

There are those people who don't want change. Well there needs to be a coalition for change amongst the hard-working mainstream majority of the country to crack on and sort out Britain's problems.
George Osborne

The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.

I believe that I'm entitled to regard my pre-political life as off-limits in terms of what can be looked at and judged.
George Osborne

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.

I very much support financial education in schools.
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
You need to have a state pension that doesn't drag more and more people into means-testing each year and make it very difficult for people on low to medium term incomes to save and not see their savings clawed away.
George Osborne
Image
I would also like to see children aged between 11 and 18 taught financial education in a structured way in schools. I would also say that that is not enough. You have also got to improve numeracy skills, mathematical skills in schools.
George Osborne
Image
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.
George Osborne
Image
I think it is absolutely central to our economic plan as a country not only that we put our own house in order but that we better connect ourselves with other parts of the world, particularly the faster growing parts of the world.
George Osborne
Image
We need a coalition in this country. A coalition of change. People who have had enough of this.
George Osborne
Image
Even a China growing at 7% or indeed less is still adding to the world economy an economy equivalent to the UK or more.
