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.

I have done everything I can to move Britain out of the financial danger zone.
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.

I get a lot of letters from people.
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

I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne

If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.

I reject absolutely the idea that people should know their place, and know their class.

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.
