More quotes by 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
I did meet Mickey Mouse in California, and he seems to be writing the Labour party's economic policy at the moment.
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
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
The British people think that if someone is disabled, then they should get all the care and support that we can offer.
George Osborne
I understand the damage the expenses crisis has done to Parliament, and the paramount importance of restoring trust in our politics.
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
I want to see genuine talent rewarded.
George Osborne
If you're looking for ways to cut waste in government, you can start with John Prescott.
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
Britain wants the single currency to be a success. It is massively in our interests that we have a stable financial system on our doorstep.
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
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 want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
