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

Image
I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
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.

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