More quotes by George Osborne

George Osborne
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
I would say I have taken substantive action to make things easier for people.
George Osborne
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

George Osborne
We support the auto-enrolment but we have our doubts about the way the National Pension Scheme is going to be structured.
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
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
We have supported the banks, they should be supporting the economy now.
George Osborne
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
One big theme for me is that we have got to move from an economy built on debt to one where we save and invest in the future.
George Osborne
You cannot tackle Britain's debts without tackling the unreformed welfare system.
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
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
Britain has no divine right to be one of the richest countries in the world.
George Osborne
