George Osborne
Establishing proper economic governance that allows the Eurozone to undertake the integration it needs whilst protecting the interests of the single market for all 28, the rights of member states who are not in the Euro - including of course the UK - is really important for the future of the European Union.

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
British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.
George Osborne
A generous basic state pension is the least a civilized society should offer those who have worked hard and saved through their whole lives.
