The Foreign Office is a very important arm of the British state and I think Britain has a fantastic diplomatic service.

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

I get a lot of letters from people.
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.

Tax cuts should be for life, not just for Christmas.
George Osborne
Image
We will also target tax evasion and off-shore tax havens... Everyone must pay their share.
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

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.
