More quotes by George Osborne
I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne
We should be looking at putting a limit on the interest that can be charged on things like store cards.You don't want to end up with totally draconian credit controls but you want some common sense. We want cooling-off periods for store cards so people can't take them out and go straight to the counter and buy things.
George Osborne
I reject absolutely the idea that people should know their place, and know their class.
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
We support the auto-enrolment but we have our doubts about the way the National Pension Scheme is going to be structured.
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 didn't come from a traditional Tory background it was urban and metropolitan.
George Osborne
I have done everything I can to move Britain out of the financial danger zone.
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
The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.
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 believe in public services.
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
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
Tax cuts should be for life, not just for Christmas.
George Osborne
What makes people angry and we are on the side of hard-working people who want to get on in life and they see how government is wasting their money.
George Osborne
There is a big problem. The problem is the country borrowed too much. We went on a borrowing binge, there was a housing boom. You want to help people de-leverage and deal with those debts over time.
George Osborne
We need a coalition in this country. A coalition of change. People who have had enough of this.
George Osborne
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.
George Osborne
I'm not saying job done but I am actually pretty confident that Britain can be one of the biggest winners from these big global changes that are taking place and indeed become the richest of the major economies in the world in this coming generation.
