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.

We will also target tax evasion and off-shore tax havens... Everyone must pay their share.

I think we woefully failed to connect Britain to the growing Chinese economy in the previous decade, and I have sought to remedy that. China is now the sixth biggest trading partner with the UK. We have attracted now the lion's share of Chinese investment that is going into Europe.
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.

I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.

Britain is China's best partner in the West.

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.

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.

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.

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
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
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
Image
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
A generous basic state pension is the least a civilized society should offer those who have worked hard and saved through their whole lives.
George Osborne
Image
There are those people who don't want change. Well there needs to be a coalition for change amongst the hard-working mainstream majority of the country to crack on and sort out Britain's problems.

What's interesting is whilst Shanghai has gone stellar - literally, in these massive buildings which have appeared since I first visited - Beijing has become a much more vibrant and interesting place. A lot more business is done here.
George Osborne

Britain has no divine right to be one of the richest countries in the world.
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
Well British pension funds have not been investing the savings of British people in British infrastructure.

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.
