George Osborne
I get a lot of letters from people.

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

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
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
Well British pension funds have not been investing the savings of British people in British infrastructure.
George Osborne
We will also target tax evasion and off-shore tax havens... Everyone must pay their share.
George Osborne
I did meet Mickey Mouse in California, and he seems to be writing the Labour party's economic policy at the moment.
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.
George Osborne
British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.
George Osborne
I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne

George Osborne
