More quotes by George Osborne
I have done everything I can to move Britain out of the financial danger zone.
George Osborne
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
I think it is absolutely central to our economic plan as a country not only that we put our own house in order but that we better connect ourselves with other parts of the world, particularly the faster growing parts of the world.
George Osborne
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.
George Osborne
I get a lot of letters from people.
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
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
I'm not saying job done but I am actually pretty confident that Britain can be one of the biggest winners from these big global changes that are taking place and indeed become the richest of the major economies in the world in this coming generation.
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
I believe in public services.
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
British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.
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
I would say I have taken substantive action to make things easier for people.
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
We need a coalition in this country. A coalition of change. People who have had enough of this.
George Osborne
I want to see genuine talent rewarded.
George Osborne
Well British pension funds have not been investing the savings of British people in British infrastructure.
George Osborne
There are plenty of people who don't want change - the Labour Party, some of their militant trade union friends like Unite busy causing strikes at the very beginning of a fragile recovery.
George Osborne
I very much support financial education in schools.
