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.

A generous basic state pension is the least a civilized society should offer those who have worked hard and saved through their whole lives.

Tax cuts should be for life, not just for Christmas.

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.

You also want to look at how the tax system encourages and rewards pension saving. I have set as an ambition reversing the effects of Gordon Brown's tax raid which heralded the beginning of the age of responsibility. We are looking at some very specific tax measures on how we can encourage saving.
George Osborne
Image
What makes people angry and we are on the side of hard-working people who want to get on in life and they see how government is wasting their money.
George Osborne
Image
I have done everything I can to move Britain out of the financial danger zone.
George Osborne
Image
There are those who are trying to create an anti-business culture in Britain - and we have to stop them. At stake are not pay packages for a few but jobs and prosperity for the many.
George Osborne
Image
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
Image
We need a coalition in this country. A coalition of change. People who have had enough of this.
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.
George Osborne
Image
I would say I have taken substantive action to make things easier for people.
