We need to think deeply about whether we can sustain banks that are not only too big to fail, but potentially too big to bail.
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.
George Osborne

I believe in public services.
George Osborne

No other chancellor in the long history of the office has felt the need to pass a law in order to convince people he has the political will to implement his own Budget.
