The Conservative Party mustn't sound like the old man on the park bench who says things were better in 1985, or 1955, or 1855.

More quotes by George Osborne
We have supported the banks, they should be supporting the economy now.
George Osborne
Well look, no one takes pleasure from people making money out of the misery of others, but that is a function of capitalist markets.
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
Britain has no divine right to be one of the richest countries in the world.
George Osborne
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
You cannot tackle Britain's debts without tackling the unreformed welfare system.
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
Well British pension funds have not been investing the savings of British people in British infrastructure.
George Osborne
I think we woefully failed to connect Britain to the growing Chinese economy in the previous decade, and I have sought to remedy that. China is now the sixth biggest trading partner with the UK. We have attracted now the lion's share of Chinese investment that is going into Europe.
George Osborne
I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
George Osborne
I very much support financial education in schools.
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 also like to see children aged between 11 and 18 taught financial education in a structured way in schools. I would also say that that is not enough. You have also got to improve numeracy skills, mathematical skills in schools.
George Osborne
British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.
George Osborne
I would say I have taken substantive action to make things easier for people.
George Osborne
There are those people who don't want change. Well there needs to be a coalition for change amongst the hard-working mainstream majority of the country to crack on and sort out Britain's problems.
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
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.
George Osborne
Even a China growing at 7% or indeed less is still adding to the world economy an economy equivalent to the UK or more.
George Osborne
No other chancellor in the long history of the office has felt the need to pass a law in order to convince people he has the political will to implement his own Budget.
George Osborne
