More quotes by George Osborne
Well British pension funds have not been investing the savings of British people in British infrastructure.
George Osborne
British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.
George Osborne
Tax cuts should be for life, not just for Christmas.
George Osborne
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
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
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
What's interesting is whilst Shanghai has gone stellar - literally, in these massive buildings which have appeared since I first visited - Beijing has become a much more vibrant and interesting place. A lot more business is done here.
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
The Foreign Office is a very important arm of the British state and I think Britain has a fantastic diplomatic service. We are the only country in the world spending 2% of our national income on defence and 0.7% of our national income on aid. We are the only country in the world doing both of those things.
George Osborne
We have to be pretty tough with mortgage companies and say you have got to give people the chance to work out their debts, sort out future mortgages.
George Osborne
The British people think that if someone is disabled, then they should get all the care and support that we can offer.
George Osborne
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
We need a coalition in this country. A coalition of change. People who have had enough of this.
George Osborne
If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.
George Osborne
[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.
George Osborne
I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
George Osborne
You know the illusion of the cheap money is over and now Britain has to go out there and graft and earn its way and create wealth and prosperity in a very competitive world.
George Osborne
I very much support financial education in schools.
George Osborne
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
I understand the damage the expenses crisis has done to Parliament, and the paramount importance of restoring trust in our politics.
