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
Image
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.

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.

We support the auto-enrolment but we have our doubts about the way the National Pension Scheme is going to be structured.
George Osborne

I get a lot of letters from people.
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
Image
[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
Image
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
Image
We want people to have a stake in the British economy so I am in favour of actually encouraging people to have small shareholdings and feel they've got a stake in our economic future.
George Osborne
Image
Britain has no divine right to be one of the richest countries in the world.
George Osborne
Image
I didn't come from a traditional Tory background it was urban and metropolitan.

If you're looking for ways to cut waste in government, you can start with John Prescott.
